There have been new allegations against Vince McMahon, as he had already been accused in 2022 for sexual abuse on a former WWE employee.

Janel Grant accuses Vince McMahon of sexual abuse and sex trafficking

The former chairman of WWE and current TKO executive chairman Vince McMahon is accused of sexual abuse by an ex-employee of WWE (2019-2021), Janel Grant. She filed a complaint in the U.S. District of Connecticut, in which she’s accusing, through a 67-page file, Vince McMahon to have forced her to have sexual relations with him between 2019 and 2022, with McMahon giving her money ($3 million) for her silence.

But the allegations go even further. Indeed, according to Janel Grant’s testimony, Vince McMahon has shared pictures of her naked to other WWE staff members, John Laurinaitis being quoted in the allegations, and promised them that she would have sexual relations with them too. A WWE Superstar and “former UFC fighter” has been pointed out, but no name has been revealed. Some of Vince McMahon’s text messages to Janel Grant have been unveiled, letting everyone know their violence and repugnance. Also, Linda McMahon, Vince McMahon’s wife, was apparently aware of the relationship between her husband and Janel Grant from January 2022, making it an even more disgusting sex trafficking. McMahon and Grant saw each other for the last time in March 2022. Janel Grant also accuses WWE employees for having “worked for conceal the acts and the accusations”.

Vince McMahon denies the accusations

WWE did not react yet to the allegations of the victim, but TKO and Vince McMahon did: “Mr. McMahon does not control TKO nor does he oversee the day-to-day operations of WWE. While this matter predates our TKO executive team’s tenure at the company, we take Ms. Grant’s horrific allegations very seriously and are addressing this matter internally.” wrote TKO.

The spokesman of the executive chairman of the group then declared: “This lawsuit is replete with lies, obscene made-up instances that never occurred, and a vindictive distortion of the truth. He will vigorously defend himself”.

Janel Grant declared that she suffers post-traumatic syndrome, and that she started having suicidal tendencies because of what Vince McMahon put her through for several years. We’ll have to wait to see how WWE will officially react to this awful case.
