The New York Times' coverage of the lawsuit filed by Janel Grant yesterday against WWE, Vince McMahon and John Laurinaitis featured comments from Jeff Speed, who quit the WWE Board of Directors in January 2023 when McMahon returned to the company, but helped lead the investigation into him when the initial allegations of McMahon's actions were brought to the Board's attention.
Responding to the allegation made in the lawsuit that no one from WWE had communications with Grant, who in the lawsuit described herself as willing to take part in the conversation, Speed stated that they did indeed reach out to Grant.
In a statement sent via law firm Simpson Thacher & Bartlett L.L.P (the third party that led the investigation into McMahon), Speed commented, "I remain confident in our investigation which included outreach to Ms. Grant and engagement with her lawyer."
Speed also stated that he acknowledges “the horrific nature of the allegations” brought by Grant via her lawsuit but was “not at liberty to comment on what was and was not learned during our investigation.”
