Former WWE employee Janel Grant has filed a lawsuit against Vince McMahon, accusing him of sexual assault, trafficking, and violating a previous settlement.
Grant’s attorney, Ann Callis, said, “Today’s complaint seeks to hold accountable two WWE executives who sexually assaulted and trafficked Plaintiff Janel Grant, as well as the organization that facilitated or turned a blind eye to the abuse and then swept it under the rug.”
“She is an incredibly private and courageous person who has suffered deeply at the hands of Mr. McMahon and Mr. [John] Laurinaitis. Ms. Grant hopes that her lawsuit will prevent other women from being victimized. The organization is well aware of Mr. McMahon’s history of depraved behavior, and it’s time that they take responsibility for the misconduct of its leadership,” her attorney continued.
She claims McMahon and another executive assaulted her, and McMahon also allegedly shared nude photos and made degrading remarks.
McMahon previously said, “Throughout this experience, I have always denied any intentional wrongdoing and continue to do so.”
“I am confident that the government’s investigation will be resolved without any findings of wrongdoing,” he continued.
According to the lawsuit, “The two met in March 2019, when Ms. Grant was dealing with profound grief and struggling financially – after devoting years to around-the-clock caregiving, her parents passed away.”
“On top of that, she was unemployed and her family home was lost in her parents’ bankruptcy,” the filing continued.
The lawsuit comes as McMahon reduces his role in the company.
Grant alleges McMahon promised to advance her career but then exploited her. McMahon is also being investigated by federal prosecutors.
The lawsuit states, “As McMahon dangled career-making and life-changing promises in front of Ms. Grant, he demonstrated an increasing lack of boundaries.”
“During several meetings that were ostensibly about a potential job at WWE, he greeted her in his underwear, touched her, repeatedly asked for hugs, and spent hours sharing intimate details about his personal life,” it continues.
According to the lawsuit, “Despite Ms. Grant’s expressions of unhappiness and attempts to end the sexual relationship—and while she came to understand that McMahon expected the physical relationship to continue as part of her employment—she had no idea how sordid it would become, nor how the psychological torture and physical violence would leave her feeling helpless, isolated and trapped.”
The lawsuit details disturbing encounters, including McMahon allegedly defecating on Grant’s head during a sexual encounter.
