In a recent court filing, Vince McMahon, the former executive chairman of WWE, has denied allegations of sex trafficking and sexual harassment made by Janel Grant. McMahon claims that Grant willingly engaged in a three-year sexual relationship with him and that she fabricated many of the claims in her lawsuit.
The filing alleges that Grant frequently visited McMahon’s penthouse late at night and returned to her own apartment, where she lived with her fiancé, after their encounters. McMahon also claims that Grant attempted to extort $3 million from him to keep their relationship a secret.
Grant’s attorney has denied these claims and stated that Grant was coerced into writing love letters to McMahon, who continues to psychologically torture her.
The lawsuit, which was filed in a Connecticut federal court Tuesday, alleges that McMahon defecated on Grant’s head during a threesome and used sex toys on her that he named after wrestlers. Grant also claims that McMahon directed her to have sex with other executives, including an unnamed wrestling star, and that he shared nude photos and explicit videos of her without her consent.
McMahon has denied these allegations, calling them “salacious,” “false,” and “pure fiction.” He has also filed a countersuit alleging that Grant is trying to extort him for money.
John Laurinaitis, WWE’s former head of talent relations and general manager, is also named in the lawsuit. Laurinaitis has denied the allegations, calling himself a victim in this matter.
The case is ongoing.
