Martha Hart was one of many who weren't surprised to hear about the heinous sex trafficking and abuse allegations made against Vince McMahon.
During a recent interview with Ashleigh Banfield of NewsNation, the widow of WWE legend Owen Hart gave her thoughts on the heavy accusations made against Vince McMahon in the lawsuit filed against he and WWE by Janel Grant.
"Yes, well, Ashleigh, thank you so much for inviting me on the show, and you’re right; I was a little reluctant to come on, but I thought it’s such an important topic that I just wanted to be able to contribute to that," she began when the topic came up during the interview. "No, I was not surprised when I heard there was yet another lawsuit (against Vince McMahon & WWE). Over the years, the WWE they’ve had many lawsuits and they’ve had a lot of bad press. I tell you, I read all of the 67 pages in that complaint, and it is absolutely horrific. I have to say that the level of wickedness that’s described is beyond the pale in that complaint, and anyone with a shred of humanity would find the indignant act just incomprehensible, frankly."
Hart continued, "So, it wasn’t a shock that there was another lawsuit, but the level of, I guess, depravity there certainly was, and I’m a doctor in mental health. I’m also the founder and director of the Owen Hart Foundation, so no matter what hat I’m wearing, I always work with at-risk people. I can tell you that it’s the — anyone that takes advantage of a vulnerable person is the most despicable type of person because these are people that need to be supported and protected, not exploited and by Janel Grant’s own admission, she was a vulnerable person. She was unemployed, her parents had passed away, she was suffering with grief, and she was also just on the cusp of financial collapse. So these are all the makings of a very vulnerable person."
