Reports on Janel Grant & Her Allegations Against Vince McMahon and Brock Lesnar
Last year, McMahon faced Hush Money allegations, paying $10 million to four women to cover up and silence accusations and misconduct by the WWE Boss. Now, one of the four women, Janel Grant, a former WWE employee, has come forward, revealing disturbing details about the case.
According to the lawsuit, McMahon hired former WWE employee Janel Grant in 2019. They lived in the same building, and McMahon offered her a job as an administrator-coordinator in the legal department after her parents passed away. However, she was terminated when McMahon’s wife discovered the affair.
Talking about the allegations Grant signed an agreement for $3 million but received only $1 million. She alleges (S**ual, physical and emotional) abuse and assault at WWE, naming McMahon and ex-head John Laurinaitis in the lawsuit.

After hiring, McMahon supposedly shared explicit photos of Grant, making WWE’s work environment toxic. Shockingly, McMahon shared Grant’s number with Lesnar, who asked for a video of her urinating, calling her names – all part of her contract, the suit claimed. And now McMahon is ready to defend himself. As per his representative, talking to Wrestling INC. he stated,
“This lawsuit is replete with lies, obscene made-up instances that never occurred, and a vindictive distortion of the truth. He will vigorously defend himself.”
Indeed, McMahon and WWE face repercussions from the allegations. Reports suggests Brock Lesnar is out of the 2024 Royal Rumble due to this. Given McMahon stepped down last time when allegations surfaced, it’ll be intriguing to see his response and how the case unfolds.
