Janel Grant hopes ‘any doors of secrecy’ at WWE ‘have been blown off’ by her bombshell sex trafficking law suit against Vince McMahon – in which she claims 78-year-old defecated on her head in a threesome
The former WWE employee who accused Vince McMahon of sex trafficking and claimed the 78-year-old billionaire defecated on her head during a threesome admits she “hopes all the doors of secrecy are blown off their hinges” by her lawsuit.
Janel Grant, who previously agreed to a $3 million settlement in exchange for signing a non-disclosure agreement in 2022, filed a new lawsuit this week against McMahon, the WWE and a former executive.
In that filing, which was obtained by DailyMail.com, Grant claims that McMahon – who denies the allegations – stopped making payments after the first $1 million installment, and she is now seeking to have that agreement void.
Additionally, Grant claims she suffered bruising and bleeding after McMahon forcibly penetrated her with sex toys, which he named after his wrestlers.
She also claims that in June 2021, McMahon and another WWE executive locked her in a room at WWE headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut, and took turns sexually assaulting her during the workday.

The married McMahon is also accused of trafficking Grant to other men and sharing nude photos of the plaintiff. Grant is seeking unspecified damages.
She said in a statement read by her St. Louis attorney, Ann Callis, that she “hopes all the doors of secrecy have been blown off their hinges.”
It added: ‘She hopes that those at the company, past and present, who are afraid to speak out about harm become a thing of the past. She wishes them all peace.”
McMahon has responded to the claims through a spokesperson, who says the 78-year-old plans to fight to clear his name.
“This lawsuit is full of lies, obscene fabrications that never happened, and a vindictive distortion of the truth,” a McMahon spokesman said Thursday. “He will defend himself vigorously.”
The WWE previously described McMahon’s sexual relationship with Grant as “consensual” in a 2022 statement.
The lawsuit comes as McMahon is reducing his role within the company. In fact, he briefly left the WWE in 2022, when allegations of his infidelity first surfaced in a Wall Street Journal report.
And this week, former wrestler Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was named to the board of directors of TKO, the umbrella company formed by the UFC-WWE merger. Meanwhile, another former wrestler, Triple H (aka Paul Levesque), has replaced McMahon as the WWE’s Chief Content Officer.

WWE executive and retired wrestler John Laurinaitis is also named as a defendant in the lawsuit. Laurinaitis was fired from the WWE in 2022.
Grant started working for the WWE in 2019 and joined the company during a difficult time in her life, according to the filing.
“The two met in March 2019, when Ms. Grant was struggling with deep grief and financial difficulties — after years of providing around-the-clock care, her parents died,” the filing said. ‘Moreover, she was unemployed and her parental home was lost due to her parents’ bankruptcy.
“As McMahon dangled career-making and life-changing promises in front of Ms. Grant, he demonstrated an increasing lack of boundaries,” the filing said. “During several meetings ostensibly about a possible job with WWE, he greeted her in his underwear, touched her, repeatedly asked for hugs and spent hours sharing intimate details about his personal life.
“Despite Ms. Grant’s expressions and attempts to end the sexual relationship — and although she came to understand that McMahon expected the physical relationship to continue as part of her job — she had no idea how nasty it would get, nor how the psychological relationship would continue. Torture and physical violence would make her feel helpless, isolated and trapped.”
