Janel Grant to Amend Lawsuit Against WWE

Janel Grant, a former WWE paralegal, plans to amend her lawsuit against WWE, Vince McMahon, and John Laurinaitis, with the updated complaint expected to be filed on January 15, 2025. The original lawsuit, filed in January 2024, contains serious allegations including sexual assault, sex trafficking, and claims that McMahon used her in negotiations with other wrestlers, including Brock Lesnar. Grant's attorneys have indicated that the specific changes to the complaint are currently unclear. The defendants, including McMahon, have consistently denied the allegations and are pursuing motions to move the case to arbitration, citing a nondisclosure agreement signed with Grant. The case was previously placed on hold due to a federal investigation, which remains active. Grant's legal team is also seeking a status conference to discuss the future proceedings of the case.
