Janel Grant Declaration Outlines New Allegations Against Vince McMahon, WWE & More

Though she doesn’t name names, Grant alleges that while in the talent relations department, McMahon would have her sexually engage with WWE talents that were visiting WWE Headquarters. Grant describes a July 2021 incident where Blum escorted her to McMahon’s executive office, where he proceeded to offer Grant sexually to a WWE talent; she would instead escort the talent from the building before “any harm could happen.” Towards the end of the filing, Grant claims she was sexually engaged with another male talent other than Lesnar, which had been orchestrated and monitored by McMahon months earlier, as he had done with Grant’s relationship with Lesnar.

Grant also provided more graphic detail regarding her encounters with McMahon, alleging he violently beat her in order to prepare her for a sexual encounter with Lesnar, along with several rape/sexual assault encounters with McMahon and Laurinaitis that caused her to black out. In one of their last encounters in February 2022, after she had signed the NDA, McMahon allegedly sexually assaulted Grant again, despite her constantly saying no. Just days later, Grant says McMahon sent her flowers, and revealed he scripted a segment for the Valentines Day episode of “Raw” which featured a wrestler he encouraged Grant to have sex with, and suggested she “text him to congratulate him.”

Throughout the whole ordeal, Grant claims she suffered major physical and mental health issues, attempted to quit several times, only for McMahon to block it, made a suicide attempt in March 2021 during her transfer from legal to talent relations, and had further suicidal thoughts when she claims McMahon coerced her into signing her NDA. When Grant attempted to discuss this with McMahon, she claims he was dismissive, or ignored her statements.
