13 Explosive Allegations in Lawsuit Against Wrestling Kingpin Vince McMahon
Warning: This report contains extremely graphic sexual allegations contained in a federal lawsuit.
A former employee of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) has filed a lawsuit this week in federal court, accusing former Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon of sex trafficking and numerous instances of extreme sexual acts and abuse.
Attorneys for Janel Grant filed the lawsuit on Thursday in U.S. District Court in Connecticut. The details in the lawsuit align with allegations that surfaced in 2022, leading to McMahon stepping down from WWE. The lawsuit seeks to void a non-disclosure agreement and claims punitive damages and Grant’s legal fees.
Grant, who worked for the company from 2019 to 2022, alleges that she was in a vulnerable state when she met McMahon due to the recent loss of her parents and her dedication to caregiving. According to the lawsuit, McMahon slowly escalated physical contact with her over several weeks, attempting to break down boundaries.
In late April 2019, Grant visited McMahon’s condo and was surprised to find him in only briefs. McMahon laughed and asked her to turn around, handing her a shirt and asking for help with the buttons. Several weeks later, in May 2019, before she started working for WWE, Grant alleges that McMahon told her to kiss him. The lawsuit claims that she ended up lying down with him in bed, where he forcibly kissed her and began pulling down her sweater strap.
On May 11, 2019, as Grant’s employment opportunity approached, McMahon allegedly undressed down to his briefs and began kissing her, inserting his hands into her pants without consent. The lawsuit states that McMahon summoned her to his apartment again on May 18, 2019, where he performed oral sex on her, stating, “This is what I have been waiting for.” McMahon then instructed her to “j*ck ’em off.”
Grant attempted to end their physical relationship in June 2019, but McMahon insisted there was no need and warned her about the consequences of discussing their relationship. After starting work at WWE, McMahon allegedly sent her sexual messages, causing her to experience panic attacks at work.
According to the lawsuit, McMahon called her degrading names and expressed his desire for others to watch them engage in sexual activity. Grant felt compelled to comply with his requests, including sending explicit photographs. McMahon allegedly caused physical injuries to Grant, including bleeding and pain from the forceful use of sex toys.
The lawsuit includes several explosive allegations, including McMahon’s use of sex toys named after male WWE wrestlers, sharing explicit photos and videos of Grant with others, and forcing her to engage in a threesome where he defecated on her head. McMahon also sent extremely graphic sexual text messages and caused Grant to sustain painful injuries.
McMahon was the subject of a federal search warrant and grand jury subpoena in July, related to allegations of sexual impropriety and payments made to women. The WWE reported $14.6 million in expenses paid personally by McMahon following the accusations. McMahon has denied the claims and plans to vigorously defend himself.

What are the specific allegations made by Grant in the lawsuit against McMahon?
Eep quiet about what had happened at the condo, implying that their encounter could have serious consequences for her career. The lawsuit further states that McMahon took advantage of Grant’s fear of retaliation and coerced her into engaging in numerous sexual acts and acts of abuse.
According to Grant, these acts included unwanted physical contact, non-consensual sexual encounters, and other extreme sexual activities. The lawsuit states that these incidents occurred both on and off WWE premises and were often accompanied by McMahon’s threats and manipulation.
The lawsuit also alleges that McMahon was involved in sex trafficking, using his power and influence to manipulate and control women within the wrestling industry. Grant claims that McMahon forced her to participate in these illegal activities and that he facilitated the exploitation of other women as well.
It is important to note that these are allegations made in a lawsuit and have not been proven in court. However, the severity of the allegations and the supporting evidence provided by Grant raise serious concerns about the culture within WWE, as well as the actions of its former Chairman and CEO.
In response to the lawsuit, an attorney for McMahon released a statement denying the allegations and stating that they are part of a larger campaign to defame his client. WWE has also released a statement affirming its commitment to investigating any allegations of misconduct and ensuring a safe and inclusive work environment.
The filing of this lawsuit comes at a time when the wrestling industry as a whole is facing increased scrutiny regarding the treatment of its female performers. Several high-profile cases have emerged in recent years, shedding light on issues such as exploitation, harassment, and discrimination. Organizations like WWE have a responsibility to address these concerns and take meaningful action to protect their employees.
It is crucial for the legal system to thoroughly investigate these allegations and provide a fair hearing for both parties involved. If the claims made in the lawsuit are proven true, it would not only have serious implications for McMahon personally but would also require a significant overhaul of the wrestling industry as a whole.
Regardless of the outcome of this specific case, it serves as a reminder of the importance of creating safe and respectful work environments, free from any form of harassment or abuse. Employers must be held accountable for their actions, and victims should feel empowered to come forward and seek justice.
As this lawsuit progresses, the eyes of the wrestling community and the public will be watching closely. It is essential that all parties involved handle the matter with the utmost seriousness and ensure a fair and transparent process. Only then can we hope to address the issues of sexual misconduct within the industry and work towards a safer future for all.
