Janel Grant Seeks Waiver of WWE NDAs

Janel Grant, a former WWE employee, is urging the company to lift nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) for current and former staff to allow others to come forward with similar allegations against Vince McMahon, whom she accuses of sexual battery and trafficking. Grant's legal team submitted a letter requesting the waiver of NDAs, arguing that WWE cannot move on from its 'sordid past' while victims remain silenced. McMahon, who has denied the allegations, stepped down as WWE CEO in 2022 amid an internal investigation that aligns with Grant's claims. Grant's lawsuit, filed in January, details sexual assault, harassment, and other abuses, prompting her attorney to assert that lifting NDAs is essential for company rehabilitation. Despite WWE's claims of zero tolerance for abuse, no responses have been received from the company regarding the NDA request. The situation highlights the ongoing struggles within WWE surrounding workplace culture and accountability.
