Vince McMahon's accuser breaks her silence on sex trafficking allegations
A FORMER WWE employee has released a statement about the sexual abuse she allegedly suffered under Vince McMahon.
Janel Grant, 43, claims she was “the victim of physical and emotional abuse, sexual assault and human trafficking” during her time with the wrestling organization.
According to the lawsuit filed Thursday, she alleged that McMahon forced her to participate in a number of gruesome sex acts, such as defecating on her head during a threesome and using sex toys on her that he named after wrestlers.
McMahon has strongly denied the allegations.
Grant's attorney, Ann Callis, read a statement on Grant's behalf in an interview she gave to the Law&Crime podcast: “Crime Solving with Angenette Levy.”
“She hopes that people from the company, past and present, who are afraid to speak out about harm will be a thing of the past,” Callis said.
“She wishes them all peace.”
Grant filed the lawsuit on Thursday.
Before being hired to work at the WWE offices in Stamford, Connecticut, Grant was introduced to McMahon by a manager in her building.
When Grant went to meet the 78-year-old director at the building's penthouse to discuss future career opportunities in the WWE, she says he greeted her in his underwear.
She claimed he offered her a job at the company in exchange for sexual favors.
After McMahon allegedly created a position for her in the company's legal department, he harassed her with sexually explicit text messages.
While attempting to end the relationship, McMahon allegedly shared explicit content of Grant without her knowledge or consent in March 2020.
In a plethora of screenshots of Grant and McMahon's conversations, McMahon allegedly texted Grant, telling her that other WWE employees wanted to have sex with her after seeing her.
A spokesperson for McMahon said the lawsuit was “full of falsehoods, baseless fabrications of events that never happened, and a malicious distortion of the truth.”
