New Lawsuit Accuses WWE’s Vince McMahon of Sexual Assault and Trafficking
A new Wall Street Journal report reveals that Vince McMahon has been accused of sex trafficking by a WWE staffer who he paid to keep quiet.
The report details the lawsuit filed today by Janel Grant, a former WWE employee. In the lawsuit, Grant alleges that McMahon assaulted her sexually and trafficked her to others inside the company.
Grant is seeking to void a nondisclosure agreement that she said was reached with McMahon in 2022. The lawsuit includes graphic reports of the ways McMahon assaulted her, also naming former WWE executive John Laurinaitis as a defendant.
McMahon had been largely away from controversy since he was served with a grand jury subpoena in July. He is no longer the end-all, be-all in WWE, which now has a parent owner in TKO Group Holdings. At least for now, McMahon remains executive chairman of the TKO board, and there could be very severe consequences for his alleged actions.
