We reported earlier today here on eWn that there were some rumors that WWE’s first promotional partner in Slim Jim had halted its advertising over the recent allegations levied against Vince McMahon.
In a new lawsuit that was filed on Thursday, the former WWE Chairman was accused of sex trafficking, emotional and physical abuse, sexual assault and more by former employee Janel Grant.
In an update on the Slim Jim/WWE relationship, the company issued the following statement to Pwinsider to confirm that they’ve paused their promotional work with WWE:
“Slim Jim values integrity and respect in all of our partnerships. Given the recent disturbing allegations against Vince McMahon, at this time we’ve decided to pause our promotional activities with WWE. This decision reflects our commitment to our brand values and responsibility to our community.
We will continue to monitor the situation and base our future engagements on our values and what’s best for our brand.”
