Janel Grant files lawsuit against McMahon, Laurinaitis, and WWE over sexual abuse and trafficking
Former WWE employee Janel Grant today filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court of Connecticut against Vince McMahon, John Laurinaitis, and WWE where she claims she was abused and sexually exploited by McMahon while he was in charge of WWE.
In the lawsuit, Grant said that McMahon also “trafficked her” to other man in the company and in 2022, she was asked to sign an NDA along with a $3 million payout not to discuss anything about what happened and the relationship she had with McMahon.
Grant said that McMahon stopped making payments after the first $1 million payment, breaking the NDA.
The lawsuit includes screenshots of the dirty messages that Vince McMahon sent, the items she received from McMahon as gifts, and detailed encounters the two had together.
This is the story that started McMahon’s downfall in WWE in 2022 which ultimately led to his removal in the Summer of that year.
Grant is being represented by Robinson & Cole LLP and Holland Law Firm LLC.
Colin Vassallo has been editor of Wrestling-Online since 1996
Sounds like a witch hunt.
@Ian toast. It might be but he’s paid out 17 million in payoffs to others
Can’t blame him if true. She’s a little hottie! Also she could’ve left if she didn’t like it.
The timing of this, along with the outrageous allegations, is suspicious. TKO really wants to get rid of Vince McMahon. Note who the CEO is for TKO’s parent company Endeavour, and who he is related to. Then note which prominent person Vince is good friends with. In the end, the lawfare chickens will come home to roost, and Ari will end up covered in chicken droppings.

Of course, you can be the biggest piece of human waste imaginable, but nepotism always makes everything all right…
