On his podcast, Cornette stated, “Then the only thing my friend was so scared she quit after Vince McMahon and Lawyer Jerry paid her millions of dollars to shut up. If somebody I was working for paid me millions of dollars not to talk, I wouldn’t quit. I’d stay there and see what else I could figure out to get paid to not talk about.”
