Title: Latest Developments in Vince McMahon Sex-Trafficking Lawsuit
Stamford, CT, and New York, NY - The sex-trafficking lawsuit against Vince McMahon, founder and former CEO of WWE, has taken new turns with fresh allegations and denials.
Key Points of the Case: - Plaintiff and Allegations: Janel Grant, a former WWE employee, filed a lawsuit in January 2023, accusing McMahon and other WWE executives of sex trafficking, emotional, and physical abuse during her employment from June 2019 to March 2022. - McMahon's Defense: In response, McMahon has denied all allegations, claiming that the three-year affair was consensual. He asserts that Grant willingly engaged in their relationship, often sneaking into his penthouse, and included excerpts from a purported love letter she wrote to him. - Grant's Rebuttal: Grant filed a motion to strike what she calls "inflammatory lies" in McMahon's defense. She claims that McMahon's statements are designed to harass and intimidate her, including allegations about her family care responsibilities. - New Allegations by McMahon: McMahon's recent filings include accusations that Grant wanted rough sex, described graphic fantasies, and sought thousands of dollars for clothes and plastic surgery. He also claimed that she wanted a future with him, even after ending their relationship.
Additional Context: - Grant alleges incidents of McMahon defecating on her during a threesome, using sex toys named after wrestlers, and sexually assaulting her with another WWE executive in June 2021. - McMahon has called these allegations "nonsensical" and disputes their credibility based on a love letter Grant wrote to him. - As of last month, reports indicate that McMahon may sell his remaining shares in TKO, ending his fifty-year association with WWE.
Legal Proceedings: The case is under investigation by New York prosecutors, and both parties continue to file motions and counter-motions, adding layers of complexity to the legal battle.
