Court Ruling Moves Janel Grant Closer to Obtaining Vince McMahon Billing Records

A new legal development has emerged in the ongoing situation involving Vince McMahon and former WWE employee Janel Grant, and it moves Grant one step closer to obtaining financial records tied to her medical treatment.

According to court filings via POST Wrestling, the Connecticut Appellate Court has dismissed an appeal filed by Dr. Carlon Colker and his clinic, Peak Wellness Inc. The appeal challenged a lower court ruling that ordered Colker to provide billing documents related to Grant’s treatment.

The dispute stems from a Bill of Discovery filed by Grant in Connecticut Superior Court. That legal mechanism allows a party to compel another party to turn over evidence before filing a traditional lawsuit. Grant is seeking documentation that she believes will confirm that McMahon personally paid for her medical bills.

Last December, Judge David Bothwell ordered Colker to produce billing statements connected to Grant’s care. Those records are believed to show whether McMahon covered the costs of treatment. With the appeal now dismissed, Colker may soon be required to comply with the court order and provide the requested documentation.

Attorneys for Colker and Peak Wellness had argued that they had already turned over substantial material during the discovery process and believed the judge’s order went beyond what was legally required. They previously stated that they had produced extensive documentation.

“They’ve produced hundreds of pages of documents and complied in good faith with discovery and court directives.”

One of the central disputes involves billing records that were marked as “paid,” but did not identify who actually made the payments. Grant’s legal team has said they are seeking confirmation that McMahon was responsible for covering the medical expenses.

During a December hearing, Grant’s attorney Erica Nolan told the court that the requested documents had still not been produced despite earlier requests. Colker’s legal team countered that producing additional records could go beyond the proper scope of discovery and potentially violate privacy rights.

“The documents requested go beyond the scope of discovery and the additional documents would infringe on the defendants’ and McMahon’s rights and privacy interests.”

The situation involving Colker and Grant is separate from the federal lawsuit Grant has filed against McMahon and WWE. In that case, which remains ongoing in U.S. District Court in Connecticut, Grant accuses McMahon of sexual assault and trafficking. McMahon has denied the allegations.

There is also a third legal battle unfolding. Colker has filed a defamation lawsuit against Grant’s attorney Ann Callis and her law firm. That case stems from statements Callis made to the press alleging Grant received unidentified infusions and pills during treatment at Peak Wellness, claims that Colker has strongly denied.

For now, the appellate court’s decision means the legal fight over the billing documents may soon move forward again in the lower court, unless Colker’s legal team attempts to escalate the matter further by petitioning the Connecticut Supreme Court.
