Executive 1 is named as a board member, Dunn wasn't on the board. Neither was Carrano, as far as I can tell. Pylons fucked around with this message at 15:15 on Jan 27, 2024 |

Another interesting bit from Ari Emanuel I had vague recollection of but had to go find again in the wake of this:quote:Emanuel wasn’t done. He took a shot at CAA’s rich $7 billion valuation in French billionaire François-Henri Pinault’s deal to acquire a majority interest in the agency. “We’re worth a lot more and we have more morals,” he said. That was too much even for one of Emanuel’s colleagues. “Come on!” he said. “gently caress. ‘We’ve got morals’? That’s going to come back to haunt you.”

https://x.com/timmarchman/status/1755967916481073222?s=20quote:During my time with the WWE, I had observed Vince McMahon making-out with other divas in the locker room, but he never paid attention to me, and I assumed I was not his type. This changed after my Playboy cover was released. I was fortunate enough to be allowed to fly on the company jet and stay at the same hotels as the executives for a period of time so that I could get home faster to spend more time with my daughter. On one of these occasions, Vince was attempting to get me alone with him in his hotel room late at night and I felt extraordinarily uncomfortable. He began calling the hotel room phone and my cell phone nonstop. I called Kevin Dunn to explain the situation and he said I should tell Vince I was not feeling well and would see him on TV the next day, so I did. Immediately after that night, Vince started writing my promos for me. Vince does not write promos for female wrestlers—that is the job of the creative department—and he certainly wouldn’t have, under any normal circumstances, written a promo for me. But he did, and the promos were written with the clear intention of ruining my career. I brought the first script Vince wrote for me to the WWE employee in charge of Creative at the time, Michael Hayes, and he said, ‘you’re not saying this, who the [expletive] wrote this?’ and I told him that Vince did. He said, ‘Well kid, these are the breaks,’ meaning that Vince wanted to end my career and destroy my reputation on my way out. He is known for this type of behavior and also did this to [REDACTED] upon her departure from WWE. In addition, after that night, each time I walk by him he would make vulgar sexual comments that were clearly designed to make me uncomfortable.

Maybe this is a reach, but in light of Kevin Dunn being explicitly named in Ashley's statement, this bit from Mox's book seems relevant.

The fake dichotomy between sexual assault and "ribbing" or "hazing" has helped cover for the past behavior of too many of these motherfuckers. Rick Steiner only ended up getting cancelled over virulent transphobia when both him AND Scott got away with shoving markers up some referee's rear end in WCW as a rib.

The reason the Weinstein comparison is apt and the equivalency to Tony turning a blind eye to a bunch of people with histories of sexual abuse is not is because the issue goes far beyond Vince in WWE's case, it's also about the people who knew, many of whom are still on the board, and either their investigation was lovely on purpose because they didn't want to find anything, or they found out everything and allowed him back into the company anyway so they could collect a massive bonus from the sale of the company to Endeavor.

Dango Bango posted:I'm not sure if I'm understanding your post correctly, but McMahon's argument is Grant went to the courts when everything should be handled via arbitration. Thus, he is trying to get the case out of the courts and handled by an arbitrator (where nothing is public). I believe they're arguing that if there was something Vince felt was a breach of the NDA to the point that he stopped the payments (which is the impetus for the lawsuit) he should've requested arbitration himself rather than unilaterally stopping the payments. I don't know if that works as a legal argument but I thought about it too.
