Judge Orders Release of Janel Grant’s Medical Records in Vince McMahon-Linked Case

The legal battle involving former WWE employee Janel Grant, Vince McMahon, and celebrity physician Dr. Carlon Colker took a major turn this week when a Connecticut judge ordered Colker’s clinic, Peak Wellness, to hand over Grant’s medical records — but stopped short of allowing depositions for now.

During a Monday hearing in Connecticut Superior Court, Judge David Bothwell ruled that medical and billing records from Colker’s clinic must be turned over to Grant. However, he denied her request to depose Colker and his staff before filing a full lawsuit, saying state law only allows such pre-suit testimony if a witness might become unavailable due to illness or death — a situation the judge said did not apply here.

Grant has alleged that McMahon repeatedly directed her to Peak Wellness, where she was given unidentified supplements and intravenous infusions. Colker has denied those claims. Grant’s legal team says the records provided so far are incomplete, inconsistent, or possibly altered, while Colker’s side maintains that the documents have already been produced.

At the hearing, defense attorney Frank Silvestri pushed back on some of Grant’s requests, particularly communications between the clinic, McMahon, and WWE.

“Certainly a number of [the document requests] seem to us to be totally unrelated to what they would need to bring a lawsuit against [Colker and the clinic]. Does your honor’s ruling preclude us from asserting any objections?”

Bothwell made it clear that while objections to communications requests could be filed, medical and billing records must be handed over.

“I’m going to grant the motion. As you go through, if you have specific objections, you can obviously raise those objections… the medical records are going to be turned over. Now, with regard to the communications [records], specific objections to that, those will be entertained.”

Silvestri responded that the defense would comply, saying, “We’ll produce [the medical records again]. We’ll look and see if there’s anything else that might be considered as a medical record.”

Bothwell suggested some of the dispute may stem from a misunderstanding about the clinic’s billing process and urged both sides to work out their differences without further court intervention.

This legal fight runs parallel to Grant’s separate federal lawsuit against McMahon and WWE, in which she accuses McMahon of sexual assault and sex trafficking, and alleges WWE was negligent. McMahon has denied all allegations. The federal case is currently tied up over whether a $3 million nondisclosure agreement — containing an arbitration clause — will keep the matter out of public court.

In another twist, Colker has also filed a defamation lawsuit against Grant’s attorney, Ann Callis, which remains ongoing.

With medical records now set to be released, the case is likely to heat up in the coming weeks — especially with multiple lawsuits and overlapping allegations in play.
