Janel Grant has retained a PR firm ahead of the premiere of the Vince McMahon docuseries.
Grant previously filed a lawsuit against McMahon in which she alleged that she was the victim of sex trafficking, emotional abuse, and sexual assault. McMahon denied the allegations. He then resigned from WWE and TKO. McMahon remains under federal investigation.
In a press release, SKDK announced that attorneys for Janel Grant retained the services of SKDK’s Kendra Barkoff Lamy ahead of the premiere of the “Mr. McMahon” docuseries on Netflix. (H/t Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics),
Barkoff Lamy and SKDK have represented the survivors of Harvey Weinstein, Marilyn Manson, Jeffrey Epstein, and more. They also supported the former employees of the Washington Commanders in their lawsuit against then-owner Dan Snyder.
Barkoff Lamy’s Statement
The press release included a statement from Barkoff Lamy, which is as follows:
“Janel Grant is a survivor of incomprehensible abuse, sexual assault, and human trafficking at the hands of Vince McMahon, John Laurinaitis, and WWE. She has courageously come forward to seek justice for herself and other survivors, and we are honored to support her in sharing her story. It takes immense strength to speak out against Goliaths and we encourage all survivors of sexual harassment, assault and human trafficking to seek the support they need.”
