WWE’s Global Ambassador Titus O’Neil spoke with Us Weekly during last Saturday’s HollyRod Foundation DesignCares Gala in Los Angeles, CA, giving his thoughts on Vince McMahon following the release of the ‘Mr. McMahon’ docuseries.
“At the end of the day, what he built cannot be erased. It’s sad that the situation came to what it came to, but I don’t have any bad words for Vince…It’s very interesting to hear different perspectives on things, but at the end of the day, I’ll forever be grateful for what Vince McMahon built, the platform that he built for so many people. He’s human, just like anyone else.”
O’Neil also added that even though he cannot condone the alleged sexual acts against the former Chairman and CEO of WWE, the company changed his life.
“Do I condone some of the things that I’ve read? No…but I don’t know all the insides and outs of what’s going on and what’s not going on. All I know is that my life was changed because I had an opportunity to become a WWE superstar. So many people’s lives were changed because they had an opportunity to work for that company…we have we had our differences of opinion on certain things? Absolutely…but at the end of the day, he essentially helped me change my life. My kids are in college because of the opportunity that I have with WWE. They went to private school. All three of my children are in college on a scholarship doing well. I’ve been able to provide a great life for my family. I’ve been able to provide a great life for the people in the community.”
All six episodes of the Mr. McMahon docuseries began streaming on Netflix back on September 25 and is listed as a limited series on the streaming platform.
Former WWE employee Janel Grant filed a lawsuit against Vince McMahon, WWE and former executive John Laurinaitis this past January, alleging sex trafficking, sexual harassment and sexual abuse. The lawsuit is currently on pause as the Justice Department continues its investigation into McMahon.
Just two days before the release of the ‘Mr. McMahon’ docuseries, McMahon issued a statement that it confuses him with his Mr. McMahon character as seen on WWE TV.
