WWE's Randy Orton On Vince McMahon Allegations: "It Hurts My Heart"
Randy Orton speaks from the heart on ex-WWE boss Vince McMahon's sexual assault allegations.
Ongoing sexual assault allegations against ex-WWE boss Vince McMahon have left many wrestling fans and roster members alike reeling. Randy Orton is someone who has known McMahon for decades, so he was similarly stunned to read details from a lawsuit filed by former employee Janel Grant.
Randy recently told Sports Illustrated that reading through some of the allegations put against Vince "f*cking hurts [his] heart". Orton didn't defend his old leader during the interview, but did say the following: "I’ve got to say this. I wouldn’t be where I am without Vince McMahon taking a chance on me a handful of times. I would not be where I am today without Vince McMahon".
However, Randy added: "...but f*ck, I’m reading this sh*t. What you’ve seen and read, I’ve seen and read. As far as commenting on that, it f*cking hurts my heart. It hurts my heart".
Several fans on social media have commented on similar news stories commending Orton for a very grounded, reasonable response to everything that's going on. He clearly has rich history with McMahon, but there's no defending alleged behaviour.
