Janel Grant claims McMahon hurt her with sex toys named after WWE stars and trafficked her to other employees.
A former World Wrestling Entertainment employee has filed suit against WWE founder Vince McMahon claiming that he sexually abused her during what has been described as a consensual affair.
Janel Grant alleges that McMahon defecated on her head during a threesome in 2020, sex trafficked her to other WWE executives, and abused her with sex toys he named after wrestlers in his employ, The New York Post reports.
The lawsuit follows a report from the Wall Street Journal last year that the WWE was investigating an alleged $3 million payment McMahon made to a departing female employee. Grant was not named at the time, but she now says in the new lawsuit that McMahon made a single $1 million payment but nothing further, the Post said.
The WWE’s investigation revealed that McMahon, who is the executive chairman of WWE’s parent company TKO Group Holdings, made nearly $15 million in payments to several women who accused him of sexual misconduct.
The lawsuit says that the wrestler-named sex toys caused bruising and bleeding and that McMahon once locked her inside his private locker room in WWE headquareters and raped her over a massage table. Grant also alleges that he shared nude photos and explicit videos with other employees and directed her to have sex with other employees, including wrestlers. John Laurinaitis, WWE’s former head of talent relations, is named as a defendant in the lawsuit as someone Grant was ordered to have sex with.
