Grant’s attorney, Ann Callis, stated, “Today’s complaint seeks to hold accountable two WWE executives who sexually assaulted and trafficked Plaintiff Janel Grant.”
It is also alleged that the organization facilitated or turned a blind eye to the abuse and then swept it under the rug.”
McMahon vehemently denied these allegations, asserting that the lawsuit is filled with “lies, obscene made-up instances that never occurred, and is a vindictive distortion of the truth.”
Despite his denial, McMahon chose to resign, citing respect for the WWE Universe, TKO business, its board members, shareholders, partners, constituents, and all employees and Superstars who contributed to WWE’s global success.
Notably, McMahon has not faced criminal charges in connection with the accusations outlined in the lawsuit.
Prior to his resignation, TKO Group Holdings clarified that McMahon did not control TKO or oversee WWE’s day-to-day operations, addressing the serious allegations made by Grant.
Alleged victim sues
Grant’s lawsuit includes charges of sex trafficking, civil battery, intentional or negligent infliction of emotional distress, and negligence. Representatives for Grant have yet to respond to requests for comments.
