Who is Janel Grant? All You Need To Know About Her
A former employee of WWE named Janel Grant has lately been in the news due to a lawsuit she filed against the company and its CEO, Vince McMahon. Sexual assault, human trafficking, and emotional abuse are among the major accusations made in Grant’s case. Apparently, in 2022, McMahon and Grant entered into a nondisclosure agreement wherein Grant was to get $3 million; however, only $1 million was paid. The action, which was filed in a federal court in Connecticut, aims to nullify this arrangement.
Janel Grant Files Sex Trafficking Accusations Against Vince McMahon
Grant has been with WWE since June 2019 at their offices in Connecticut. Some of her claims involve her having an affair with guys under McMahon’s direction, including a “superstar” from WWE and UFC (perhaps Brock Lesnar).
Earlier this year, a woman who had gotten a settlement from Vince McMahon reportedly sued him, according to the Wall Street Journal. Accusations of sex trafficking are leveled against McMahon, the corporation, and an ex-executive in this lawsuit. The plaintiff, Janel Grant, was an employee at WWE’s headquarters at the time of the allegations, and she claims that she was sexually exploited and subjected to abuse when McMahon was CEO.
Grant claims that after being lured in by the promise of career progress, McMahon exploited and trafficked her to other people in the organization. She is attempting to have Grant’s nondisclosure agreement, which she signed in 2022, nullified. After McMahon reportedly stopped paying payments under their previous arrangement, she is also claiming financial damages that have not been specifically mentioned.
By illuminating a culture that would tolerate the covering up of such grave accusations, the case exposes the seedier side of the wrestling entertainment industry. Not only is Grant suing McMahon, but she is also aiming at the systems within the company that may have permitted such actions. As far as holding powerful persons responsible is concerned, Grant’s action is viewed as courageous.
Who is Janel Grant in WWE?
The lawsuit states that in 2019, McMahon appointed Janel Grant, a former employee of WWE, to the position of administrator-coordinator in the legal department of WWE. When McMahon’s wife learned about her affair, she was fired.
After Grant’s parents passed away in 2019, the lawsuit claims that McMahon, who resided in the same building, offered to help her acquire a position at WWE.
According to Grant, she became McMahon’s s#xual toy and he, along with Laurinaitis and others, engaged in unwanted s#x with her on occasion, even three times.
The woman was “cornered” by two guys who “forced touched her,” “pulled her in between them,” and “put her on top of a table in between them” while she was inside a locked door, according to the complaint. “Despite her cries for help, they insisted on continuing, and they took turns holding her.”
