The legal battle between Janel Grant and Vince McMahon has escalated, with Grant’s attorneys filing a motion to amend her lawsuit, revealing disturbing new allegations against the former WWE CEO and his longtime right-hand man, John Laurinaitis.

In a statement released to Ringside News, Grant’s legal team claims to have obtained never-before-seen text and voice messages from McMahon, allegedly proving that he coerced her into sexual acts and offered her to other men, including WWE talent. Attorney Ann Callis released a statement addressing the latest developments:

“Ms. Grant’s amended complaint reveals new details that further demonstrate the sexual abuse she suffered at the hands of Vince McMahon and John Laurinaitis and pulls back the curtain on the dangerous workplace culture McMahon created at WWE. Ms. Grant looks forward to holding her abusers accountable in a court of law.”

The amended complaint provides shocking new details about McMahon’s alleged conduct, including:

  • McMahon allegedly offered Grant to WWE Superstar Brock Lesnar for a sexual encounter while negotiating a new contract with him and instructed her to send Lesnar sexually explicit photos and videos.
  • A graphic text message from McMahon detailed his fantasy of watching multiple men “surround” Grant and leave her physically “wrecked.”
  • Another message allegedly showed McMahon stating that he alone had the power to “arrange” Grant’s sexual encounters.
  • McMahon allegedly filmed Grant while she was nude and sent the video to John Laurinaitis without her knowledge or consent.
  • WWE’s 2022 internal investigation into McMahon’s NDAs allegedly never interviewed Grant, despite her involvement in the scandal.
  • A transcript of a voicemail from McMahon revealed him attempting to pressure Grant into signing an NDA quickly to prevent him from being ousted from WWE, saying she needed to do it “really fin’ fast” so he wouldn’t get kicked out of his own “fin’ company.”
  • A previously revealed text message from McMahon to Grant allegedly stated: “I’m the only one who owns U and controls who I want to f* U.”**

The timing of this amended complaint is significant, coming just one day before the 2025 WWE Royal Rumble. The allegations against McMahon raise serious concerns about WWE’s corporate culture and could put pressure on TKO Group Holdings, which now owns WWE, to publicly address the situation.

Despite McMahon resigning from his position within TKO, his influence over WWE for decades means the company could still face scrutiny over how it handled past allegations. The lawsuit also raises questions about Brock Lesnar’s involvement, as WWE has yet to respond to the claims regarding him.

This case is far from over, and with damning new evidence being presented, the legal battle could get even messier.

UPDATE: Vince McMahon’s legal team has issued a statement on the latest allegations filed against Vince McMahon.
