Former WWE employee accuses Vince McMahon of abuse and trafficking in federal lawsuit

An ex-WWE employee filed a federal lawsuit on Thursday accusing Vince McMahon and another former executive of sexual misconduct and trafficking.

According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, Janel Grant, who worked in the company’s legal and talent departments, alleges that McMahon had forced her into a sexual relationship for her to get and keep her job with the sports entertainment juggernaut. McMahon is said to have distributed pornographic photos and videos of her to members of his staff and roster, including former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar.

Per the lawsuit, McMahon lived in the same building as Grant in 2019 and agreed to give her a job after her parents had died.
