In a shocking new lawsuit, a former WWE employee has claimed that the WWE boss Vince McMahon sexually abused her with sex toys that he named after wrestling stars –
Janel Grant made the allegations about their relationship with disturbing revelations including charges that the wrestling boss defecated on her head during a threesome in May 2020 and sex trafficked her to other WWE executives, according to the complaint filed in Connecticut federal court on Thursday.
Grant alleged in the complaint that McMahon sent her a text message in May 2020 which read: “i’m the only one who owns U and controls who I want to f— U.”
Her lawsuit comes after the Wall Street Journal reported last year that the WWE was investigating an alleged $3 million payment from McMahon to a departing female employee following a consensual affair.
Grant, who was unnamed at the time, claims she received an initial installment of $1 million but no further payments afterward, in the new lawsuit.
Different investigations later found that McMahon paid $14.6 million to several women who accused him of sexual misconduct.
According to the lawsuit, McMahon’s use of sex toys on Grant caused her injuries such as bruising and bleeding, the Journal reported on Thursday.
McMahon is also alleged to have shared nude photos and explicit videos of Grant without her consent with other WWE employees, according to the lawsuit.
He once locked her inside his private locker room at WWE headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut and forced himself on her over a massage table, the complaint said.
The WWE boss is also alleged to have directed Grant to have sex with other executives and a wrestling star, the lawsuit claims.
John Laurinaitis, WWE’s former head of talent relations who is named as a defendant in the lawsuit, was allegedly recruited by McMahon to have sex with Grant.
McMahon told Grant to visit Laurinaitis in his hotel rooms where she had sex with him before workdays, it was alleged in the lawsuit.
The lawsuit adds that during one encounter at WWE offices in June 2021, McMahon and Laurinaitis forced themselves on her and took turns restraining her for the other.
“No means yes” and “Take it, b—h” were among the things McMahon and Laurinaitis said to Grant during the alleged assault, according to the lawsuit.
In July 2021, McMahon told Grant to create sexualized content on her phone and send it to Brock Lesnar, a former UFC star whom the WWE was trying to sign at the time.
WWE said in the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that while government investigations into McMahon remain ongoing, no charges have been brought in them.
The company said it has received voluntary and compulsory legal demands for documents, including from federal law enforcement and regulatory agencies, concerning the investigation and related subject matters.
“In 2022, WWE formed a special committee to review allegations of misconduct against me,” McMahon said in a statement.
“That review was concluded in November 2022 following an extensive investigation.”
McMahon said that “throughout this experience, I have always denied any intentional wrongdoing and continue to do so.”
“I am confident that the government’s investigation will be resolved without any findings of wrongdoing.”
