WWE's Vince McMahon Accused of Sex Trafficking in Lawsuit From Ex-Staffer (Newsweek) [View all]
Story by Thomas Westerholm •
WWE co-founder Vince McMahon is accused of abusing and sexually trafficking a former staffer in a lawsuit filed Thursday.
In the suit, Janel Grant—a former employee of WWE—alleges that McMahon, 78, brought her into the company with promises that her career would rise before exploiting her and using sexual experiences with her as a way to attract talent.
The civil lawsuit, which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut and was obtained by Newsweek, names McMahon and former WWE head of talent relations John Laurinaitis. It seeks to void a nondisclosure agreement (NDA) signed by Grant in 2022, as well as unspecified financial damages. No criminal charges have been filed against McMahon or Laurinaitis at this time.

The lawsuit accuses McMahon and Laurinaitis of sexually assaulting and trafficking Grant for years.
