WWE boss Vince McMahon has been accused of sex trafficking in a new lawsuit filed by a former employee, who claims the 78-year-old billionaire defecated on her head during a threesome.
Janel Grant, who previously agreed to a $3 million settlement in exchange for signing a non-disclosure agreement in 2022, has filed a new lawsuit against McMahon, WWE and a former executive alleging sex trafficking. In that filing, obtained by DailyMail.com, Grant claims McMahon 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 she made several attempts to end the relationship with the married McMahon, who is accused of trafficking her to other men and sharing nude photos of the accuser.
Grant is seeking unspecified damages.
Neither McMahon’s lawyer nor WWE spokespeople responded to DailyMail.com’s request for comment. The organization 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.
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.
McMahon’s co-defendant John Laurinitis
The WWE board learned of McMahon’s relationship with Grant through an anonymous tip in 2022 and launched an internal investigation, which subsequently uncovered $14.6 million in other alleged payments by the director to various women.
Grant claims that McMahon ensnared her in a sexual relationship after promising to advance her career before ultimately exploiting her and selling her to other executives within the company.
One of these managers, retired wrestler John Laurinaitis, is also named as a defendant in the lawsuit.
Grant claims McMahon instructed her to visit Laurinaitis at a hotel, where the two had daily sexual encounters before reporting to the office.
“I left that hotel feeling bad about myself every time,” Grant claims she told McMahon.
John is the uncle of former NFL linebacker James Laurinaitis. His brothers Joe and Marcus also wrestled in the WWE.
McMahon is already under investigation by federal prosecutors over the alleged payments, and according to The Wall Street Journal, agents executed a search warrant for his phone and served him a grand jury subpoena in July 2023.
He has not been charged with any crime in this case.
“Throughout this experience, I have and continue to deny any intentional wrongdoing,” McMahon said in 2023 about the federal investigation. “I am confident that the government’s investigation will be concluded without finding any wrongdoing.”
