Janel Grant: Who is Former WWE employee?

WWE boss Vince McMahon was accused Thursday of sexual assault, trafficking, and physical and emotional abuse in a lawsuit by Janel Grant, a woman who previously worked for the pro wrestling giant.

The Connecticut federal court suit by Janel Grant, which alleges McMahon directed her to have an affair with a WWE “superstar” and other men, seeks to void a nondisclosure agreement that Grant says she reached with McMahon in 2022.

She said he agreed to pay her $3 million as part of the deal.

The suit says McMahon only paid her $1 million, “but failed to make any further payments.”

Grant alleged that on June 23, 2021, McMahon locked her inside his private locker room and forced himself on her over a massage table.

The lawsuit alleges that others at WWE knew about McMahon’s misconduct but worked to bury the wrongdoing.

Grant was one of several women who received payouts from McMahon over the years.
