New evidence is included in the amended complaint that Janel Grant’s attorneys filed in the case against Vince McMahon, John Laurinaitis, and WWE.
In January 2024, Janel Grant filed a lawsuit against Vince McMahon, John Laurinaitis, and WWE, alleging that she was the victim of physical and emotional abuse, sexual assault, and trafficking at WWE. McMahon denied the allegations, but he resigned from WWE and TKO.
New evidence and details are included in the complaint.
From Janel Grant’s Team:
“New York, NY – Today, attorneys for Janel Grant filed a motion to amend the complaint in her ongoing case against former WWE CEO Vince McMahon, John Laurinaitis, and WWE to provide new evidence that McMahon treated Ms. Grant as a commodity to sexually abuse and offer to other men. The proposed amended complaint, which is attached to her motion, includes never-before-seen text and voice messages from McMahon and provides new details about how McMahon coerced Grant into sexual acts through her employment at WWE.
The amended complaint provides new evidence about the sexual abuse carried out by McMahon, Laurinaitis, and WWE, including:
McMahon offered Ms. Grant to WWE Superstar Brock Lesnar for a sexual encounter during his formal negotiation of a new contract with WWE, and McMahon ordered Grant to send Lesnar sexually explicit content of herself. McMahon sent a text message to Ms. Grant, where he fantasizes in graphic detail about watching as a group of men are “surrounding” her and leaving her physically “wrecked”, underscoring how he viewed her as a commodity to offer to others. A text message from McMahon to Ms. Grant where he makes clear that only McMahon has the power to “arrange” Ms. Grant’s sexual encounters. An occasion where McMahon video recorded Ms. Grant while nude for Laurinaitis, without Ms. Grant’s knowledge or consent. Details about the sham investigation WWE proclaimed to conduct in 2022 after it became public that McMahon signed NDAs with multiple women, in which “investigators” refused to interview Ms. Grant The transcript of a voice message from McMahon to Ms. Grant, where he attempts to coerce her into signing an NDA “really f***in’ fast” so he doesn’t get kicked out of his own “f***in’ company.”The initial complaint, filed in January 2024, includes a text message from McMahon to Ms. Grant where McMahon admits, ‘I’m the only one who owns U and controls who I want to f*** U.”
Ann Callis, Janel Grant’s attorney, issued the following statement, courtesy of WWE Survivors:
“Ms. Grant’s amended complaint reveals new details that further demonstrate the sexual abuse Janel Grant suffered at the hands of Vince McMahon and John Laurinaitis and pulls back the curtain on the dangerous workplace culture McMahon created at WWE. Ms. Grant looks forward to holding her abusers accountable in a court of law.”
Vince McMahon’s Reps Issue Statement
Per BJ Bethel, reps for Vince McMahon issued the following statement from attorney Jessica Rosenberg:
“As expected, the proposed amended complaint is nothing more than the latest publicity stunt in an ongoing smear campaign. It is filled with desperate falsehoods from a team that continues to disregard the law and the truth.”
WrestleZone will provide more information as it becomes available.
