Janel Grant’s legal team has filed a motion to amend their lawsuit against former WWE CEO Vince McMahon, introducing new evidence including text and voice messages. Attorney Ann Callis addressed these developments in a statement to Ringside News.
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.

A voicemail transcript reveals McMahon allegedly pressuring Grant to sign an NDA quickly to prevent his removal from WWE. The filing also includes a text message in which McMahon allegedly stated his exclusive control over Grant.
The lawsuit’s expansion comes as TKO Group Holdings, WWE’s parent company, faces questions about the corporate culture during McMahon’s leadership tenure, despite his recent resignation from the organization.
