In a shocking turn of events, Janel Grant, a former WWE employee, has sued former WWE CEO Vince McMahon for sexual assault and sex trafficking. The story in the Wall Street Journal about Brock Lesnar, the UFC and WWE star who was linked to the claims, has shed light on the disturbing claims made against McMahon.
Janel Grant, a former WWE employee, has initiated legal action against Vince McMahon, the ex-CEO of WWE, alleging sexual trafficking and abuse. Grant asserts that McMahon exploited her as a sexual object to facilitate the re-signing of Brock Lesnar, a former UFC heavyweight champion and WWE superstar, in 2021.
The lawsuit outlines McMahon's purported directive for Grant to produce sexual content for Lesnar, including photos and videos of herself, which were then shared with Lesnar without her consent.

Allegedly, Lesnar solicited a video of Grant urinating and attempted to arrange a meeting, thwarted only by inclement weather. Grant claims she was coerced into signing a nondisclosure agreement in 2022 and ceased to receive payments from McMahon upon his retirement from WWE. She seeks damages for emotional distress, invasion of privacy, breach of contract, and sex trafficking.
As of now, neither McMahon nor Lesnar have responded to the allegations.
The founder of WWE, Vince McMahon, quit as CEO in 2022 while a probe into sexual misconduct claims was going on. There were claims that McMahon put Janel Grant under sexual pressure and treated her badly in return for a job at WWE, which led to the investigation.

WWE was bought by Endeavor Group Holdings in 2023, and McMahon was made executive chairman. McMahon quit this job in January 2023, though, after a new claim said he was sexually abusing and trafficking women.
Grant launched a lawsuit saying that McMahon forced her into sexual relationships and shared sexy photos and videos of her with other WWE employees.
In 2024, Janel Grant, a former employee of WWE, sued Vince McMahon and John Laurinaitis, who used to be the head of talent relations. She accused them of sexual assault, trafficking, and mental abuse.
According to the claim, McMahon forced Grant into a sexual relationship, gave her male coworkers sexually explicit material, and made her meet increasingly sexy demands, such as having sexual encounters with Laurinaitis and others.
The case also names WWE as a defendant, saying that they either helped with the abuse or were involved in it. Grant is suing to get undefined amounts of money and to stop women from being victims in the future. Because of these claims, McMahon quit WWE and TKO Group Holdings, the company that owns WWE.
Brock Lesnar has reappeared after his WWE plans were canceled due to a lawsuit filed against Vince McMahon by former WWE employee Janel Grant. Lesnar was seen with his daughter Mya Lesnar at the Don Kirby Invitational in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where Mya broke a Colorado State record in women's shot put.

WWE has distanced itself from Lesnar by removing him from the "Then, Now, Forever, Together" opening video and selling his merchandise. Lesnar's return to WWE remains uncertain.
