Ann Callis, the lawyer representing former WWE employee Janel Grant, described the alleged abuse Grant endured at the hands of Vince McMahon as unprecedented in its severity. Grant, who worked in WWE’s legal and talent departments, accused McMahon of forcing her into sexual acts with WWE figures, including defecating on her during a threesome and using sex toys aggressively, causing injuries.
Physical and mental issues
The lawsuit also implicates John Laurinaitis, alleging both men sexually assaulted her at WWE offices. It follows reports of a $3 million payment McMahon made to a female employee, with Grant claiming she received $1 million after signing a non-disclosure agreement.

“The sexual slavery she endured, the devastating consequences that happened to her physically and mentally when she was going through this and still is suffering through this with PTSD – she had suicidal ideation,” Callis told NewsNation.
“This is in its own class of the depravity that she had to endure.”
McMahon denied the allegations but announced his resignation as executive chairman of WWE’s parent company, TKO Group Holdings, which is investigating the claims.
“I stand by my prior statement that Ms. Grant‘s lawsuit is replete with lies, obscene made-up instances that never occurred, and is a vindictive distortion of the truth,” McMahon said.
“I intend to vigorously defend myself against these baseless accusations, and look forward to clearing my name.
“However, out of respect for the WWE Universe, the extraordinary TKO business and its board members and shareholders, partners and constituents, and all of the employees and Superstars who helped make WWE into the global leader it is today, I have decided to resign from my executive chairmanship and the TKO board of directors, effectively immediately.”
