Former WWE employee accuses Vince McMahon of sex trafficking

Former WWE employee Janel Grant has filed a lawsuit accusing WWE founder Vince McMahon of sex trafficking. Grant alleges that McMahon coerced her into a sexual relationship in exchange for her job. The lawsuit, filed in a Connecticut federal court, claims that McMahon greeted Grant in his underwear, touched her inappropriately, and shared explicit photos of her with other WWE employees. Additionally, Grant accuses McMahon of recruiting individuals to have sexual relations with her.

According to the lawsuit, Grant further claims that McMahon and another WWE executive sexually assaulted her. Following those incidents, McMahon allegedly pressured Grant into signing a non-disclosure agreement, which he later stopped making payments on. WWE has not yet commented on the allegations.

Janel Grant, who had been unemployed after losing her parents in 2019, was hired by Vince McMahon for a job at WWE. However, what started as a dream turned into a nightmare as Grant faced unwanted advances and sexual exploitation from McMahon. Grant’s lawsuit raises questions about the effectiveness of the internal investigation conducted by a law firm hired by WWE last year.

Vince McMahon, the executive chairman of TKO, the parent company of WWE and UFC, is a prominent figure in the wrestling industry. This scandal could have significant implications for both WWE and McMahon’s personal reputation. Grant’s accusations shine a light on the seedy underbelly of the wrestling world, exposing the abuse of power and the mistreatment of employees.

This shocking lawsuit serves as a reminder of the importance of addressing workplace harassment and holding individuals in positions of power accountable for their actions. It also underscores the bravery of individuals like Janel Grant who come forward to share their experiences, despite the potential backlash they may face.
