John Cena once again comments on Vince McMahon.
Ahead of WrestleMania 41, John Cena stated in an interview with the New York Times, “I don’t care who hears it: I love Vince. I’m not downplaying anything that needs to be decided or allegations of any kind, but when I love somebody, I love them wholeheartedly. I know people are going to be angry about that, but they can’t put their value on my relationship with somebody I love.”
Speaking to US Weekly, Cena defended his stance.
“Everybody’s entitled to their opinion,” Cena said. “Just like I’m entitled to have an emotional connection to somebody. I don’t hold anybody or how they feel or what they view as permissible or things that’ll make them angry, happy, excited, sad. That’s their right as a human being.”
Asked about the fan response to his initial comments, Cena said, “I’m not surprised about any of that.”
In January 2024, former WWE employee Janel Grant filed a lawsuit against Vince McMahon and WWE, accusing McMahon of sexual assault, emotional abuse, and sex trafficking. The lawsuit is still active.
