UFC commentator Joe Rogan weighs in on Vince McMahon's sex trafficking lawsuit

WWE founder Vince McMahon resigns amid sex trafficking lawsuit. Joe Rogan weighs in. Lawsuit alleges McMahon exploited and coerced former employee.

During a recent episode of his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, the veteran UFC commentator shared his thoughts on the recent accusations directed at McMahon. The WWE founder has resigned from his role as the executive chairman of the board of TKO Group, the parent company of UFC and WWE, following a federal criminal investigation stemming from a lawsuit filed by former WWE employee Janel Grant. In her complaint filed in U.S. District Court, Grant has levied accusations against McMahon, former head of WWE talent relations John Laurinaitis, and the organization itself, citing various allegations such as violations of the Trafficking Victims Prevention Act, negligence, and civil battery. The legal action revolves around Grant's claims of enduring alleged sexual and emotional abuse during her time with the company. Joe Rogan reportedly inked a lucrative multi-year contract with Spotify for his podcast, which is rumored to be valued at a staggering $250 million. The widely followed show has been exclusive to the streaming platform since 2020 and has consistently held the title of its top-performing program for the past three years. Alongside its ongoing availability on Spotify, Rogan's podcast will soon be accessible on other platforms such as Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, and YouTube. This decision aligns with Spotify's updated approach to relinquishing exclusive streaming privileges in favor of wider distribution, a strategy initiated by the company in 2023.
