Nikki & Brie Garcia 'Shocked And Disheartened' By Allegations Against Vince McMahon, John Laurinaitis
Garcia Twins comment on Vince McMahon and John Laurinaitis allegations
Jan 30, 2024
Nikki and Brie Garcia (FKA the Bella Twins) have stated they are "shocked and disheartened" by the recent allegations against Vince McMahon and their father-in-law John Laurinaitis.
The Garcia Twins issued the following statement: "We are shocked and disheartened by recent allegations against members of the WWE. It has been a lot to process since we found out this past week just as you all did. This is something we don't stand for or condone from anyone no matter who they are. We want all women to feel safe and supported in the workplace and in their everyday lives."
Former WWE employee Janel Grant accused Vince McMahon of sex trafficking, sexual assault, and physical and emotional abuse in a lawsuit filed on Thursday, January 25. John Laurinaitis was also accused of sexual assault and WWE were accused of trying to cover up the allegations against Vince McMahon.
John Laurinaitis has been married to Brie and Nikki Garcia's mother Kathy Colace since March 2016. He was let go by WWE in 2022 after he was tied to the hush-money payments of at least $14.6 million made by Vince McMahon to cover up allegations of sexual misconduct and infidelity between 2006 and 2022.
Vince McMahon has since resigned as TKO Executive Chairman after sponsors began to pull out of supporting WWE programming.
