Ms Grant alleges Mr McMahon pressured her into resigning from WWE and signing a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) for a lump sum of $3m (£2.5m) after his wife found out about their relationship in 2022.

NDAs, also known as "gagging orders" or "hush agreements", are contracts between employees and companies preventing staff from making information public.

Ms Grant is asking the court to invalidate the NDA under federal law, claiming the defendants had violated the Trafficking Victims Prevention Act. She is also seeking unspecified monetary damages.

I don't think an NDA is valid if it was obtained for illegal acts. She may have just found out that fact.
