Former WWE Employee Files Lawsuit Against Vince McMahon, Alleging Sex Trafficking And Exploitation

Vince McMahon is once again in deep, hot waters.

In an article released by the Wall Street Journal. A former employee by the name of Janel Grant has filed a lawsuit against Vince McMahon and the WWE, alleging that she was abused and sexually exploited by the company.

Grant alleged that McMahon lured her with promises of career advancement, and then he allegedly exploited her and trafficked her to other men inside the company.

The lawsuit, filed in a Connecticut federal court, describes in graphic detail Grant’s account of interactions with the businessman and TV personality. She alleged that McMahon and another WWE executive locked her in an office in WWE’s headquarters in Stamford, Conn., on June 15, 2021, and took turns sexually assaulting her while other staff were working.  In the middle of another workday, on June 23, 2021, McMahon locked Grant inside his private locker room at WWE’s offices and forced himself on her over a massage table, the suit said. Later that day, McMahon’s personal assistant delivered $15,000 in Bloomingdale’s gift cards to Grant in her office. The suit also includes screenshots of explicit text messages that McMahon allegedly sent to Grant. A May 2020 message said: “i’m the only one who owns U and controls who I want to f— U.”  — The Wall Street Journal

Also filed in the lawsuit were the many awful things that McMahon had allegedly done to Grant which you can read below. TRIGGER WARNING: Very graphic descriptions about rape.

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.

McMahon warned Ms. Grant to keep their “closeness” secret, lest rumors lead to
public trouble – and added that, while he protects loyal people, he had world-class legal resources on speed-dial to deal with people who became a problem

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.

In March 2020, McMahon began sharing sexually explicit photographs and videos
of Ms. Grant (including pornographic content he recorded) with other men both inside and outside the company, including with members of the television production “tech” team, executive(s)

All this time, McMahon ordered Ms. Grant to keep their relationship secret (unless
otherwise instructed), including lying to maintain whatever cover stories he fabricated

McMahon’s assurances that Ms. Grant was safe and independent rang hollow in
light of his efforts to isolate her from friends and attempts to chip away at her identity until it was replaced with his desired role for her as his “bitch,” his “fantasy,” and/or his “porn star” (while occasionally intermixing softer descriptors like “girlfriend” and “baby,” even “love” when convenient). He exercised complete ownership and control over both her personal and professional lives

McMahon also subjected Ms. Grant to acts of extreme cruelty and degradation that
caused Ms. Grant to disassociate and/or become numb to reality in order to survive the horrific encounters

As one example of McMahon’s extreme depravity, on May 9, 2020, he defecated
on Ms. Grant during a threesome, and then commanded her to continue pleasuring his “friend”— with feces in her hair and running down her back—while McMahon went to the bathroom to shower off. Upon his return from the bathroom, McMahon and his “friend” actively resumed the threesome, which lasted over an hour and a half, while Ms. Grant remained covered in McMahon’s filth. When McMahon’s “friend” left, McMahon ordered her to stay and to continue to sexually gratify him.

This is only the first eight of many instances of McMahon allegedly using his power over women in the company. Something that will bring more and more out of the shadows to share their story on the very horrible things that McMahon has done while running the WWE.
