SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)...
An amended lawsuit has been filed by attorneys representing Janel Grant, the former WWE employee who has accused Vince McMahon of sexual misconduct in a civil lawsuit. Grant’s attorneys, in the press release, characterize McMahon’s conduct toward Grant as treating her “as a commodity to sexually abuse and offer to other men.”
The lawsuit now details how a special corner office was retrofitted for John Laurinaitis that included “an internal door that connected directly into Grant’s office. The lawsuit alleged top WWE executives Nick Khan and Brad Blum were involved in the plans, seemingly unusual for executives of their rank in the company.
The lawsuit now also notes that McMahon instructed Grant to creative “customized pornographic content for producer Michael Hayes and his crew.” Hayes had not been mentioned by name in the preview civil suit.
It also includes a transcript of a voice message from McMahon asking Grant to sign an NDA “‘really f—in’ fast’ so he doesn’t get kicked out of his own ‘f—in’ company’.”

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 Ms. Grant into sexual acts through her employment at WWE.
“Ms. Grant’s amended complaint reveals new details that further demonstrate the sexual abuse she suffered at the hands of Vince McMahon and John Laurinaitis and pulls back the curtain on the dangerous workplace culture McMahon created at WWE,” said Ann Callis, attorney for Janel Grant. “Ms. Grant looks forward to holding her abusers accountable in a court of law.”
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 Ms. 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.”
