Crazy news this week as 78-year-old billionaire and WWE boss Vince McMahon faces a lawsuit that includes some of the most vile allegations you’re ever going to read, involving rape, sharing nude photos of the victim, defecating on her during sex, and even trafficking her to have sex with Brock Lesnar and others.
Janel Grant, who previously agreed to a $3 million settlement in exchange for signing a nondisclosure agreement in 2022, has filed a new lawsuit against McMahon after he stopped making payments following the initial $1 million instalment. She’s now seeking to void that agreement and expose all the abuses he put her through while she worked for him from June 2019 – March 2022.
The lawsuit, filed in a Connecticut federal court, describes in graphic detail the abuses that Janel Grant experienced while working for Vince McMahon. Among them:
– She alleges that McMahon and another WWE executive locked her in an office in WWE’s headquarters in Stamford, Conn., on June 15, 2021, and took turns sexually assaulting her while other staff were working.
– In the middle of another workday, on June 23, 2021, McMahon locked Janel Grant inside his private locker room at WWE’s offices and raped her over a massage table. Later that day, McMahon’s personal assistant delivered $15,000 in Bloomingdale’s gift cards to Grant in her office.
– McMahon recruited people to have sex with Janel Grant, including WWE’s former head of talent relations, John Laurinaitis, who is named as a defendant in the suit.
– The suit states that in a May 2020 encounter, McMahon defecated on her head during a threesome. McMahon allegedly forcefully used sex toys on Janel Grant, including dildos he named after WWE wrestlers, causing her bruising and bleeding.
– In July 2021, McMahon instructed Janel Grant to create personalised sexual content for a WWE superstar that he was trying to re-sign. The suit didn’t name the professional wrestler, but described him as both a UFC fighter and WWE talent. People familiar with the matter identified the wrestler as Brock Lesnar, one of WWE’s biggest names. The suit said McMahon shared the explicit photos with the star and informed Grant that “he likes what he sees.” After the star agreed to a new WWE contract, McMahon texted Grant in August 2021 to say “that part of the deal was f—ing U.”
– Grant alleges that McMahon shared nude photos and explicit videos of her without consent with other WWE employees, executives and stars, and directed her to have sex with them. The suit cites a July 2020 text that said others at WWE wanted to have sex with her after seeing photos on McMahon’s phone, and the group laughed when he told them, “She may scream and try to say NO!!although it would B difficult to say anything with a c— down her throat.”
– The suit also includes screenshots of explicit text messages that McMahon allegedly sent to Janel Grant. A May 2020 message said: “i’m the only one who owns U and controls who I want to f— U.”
Told you it was bad. The lawsuit comes as Vince McMahon is reducing his role within the company, and I guess now we know why. In fact, McMahon briefly left the WWE in 2022, when the initial allegations of his infidelities first surfaced in a Wall Street Journal report.
The WWE board learned of McMahon’s relationship with Janel Grant via an anonymous tip in 2022 and launched an internal investigation, which eventually uncovered $14.6 million in other alleged payments by the executive to various women. So it sounds like this is just the tip of the iceberg, and who knows what other crazy stories about Vince McMahon and his sexual abuses will now come to light?
It’s worth noting that Brock Lesnar was heavily rumoured to turn up at the Royal Rumble this weekend, but with his involvement and all this now making mainstream news, it will be interesting to see whether they scrap those plans, or indeed how Triple H and everyone else in charge handles the situation from an on-screen point of view.
We always knew Vince McMahon was an absolute nut job, but I don’t think anyone ever expected he was this much of a sicko. Just another perverted, power-tripping billionaire, it seems.
