Attorneys for Janel Grant filed another motion requesting a status conference in regard to Grant lawsuit against Vince McMahon, WWE and John Lauirinatis before the United States District of Connecticut earlier today.
In the filing, Grant's attorneys noted they were writing "to inform the Court of the new status quo and request its guidance on how best to move this litigation forward" after the SEC announcement of charges brought against McMahon, which he settled after paying a $400,000 fine and reimbursing $1.3 million to WWE.
The motion noted that in December 2024, the United States government advised Grant's attorneys 'that it did not plan to seek an extension of the stay and could continue its investigation of Defendants without the stay."
Citing that the SEC Consent Order announced earlier this week was "material development that is highly relevant to this matter", Grant's attorneys noted:
"Plaintiff still intends to amend her complaint as of right. Though Plaintiff was prepared to on January 15, the recent SEC Consent Order and findings regarding Defendants’ nondisclosure agreement with Ms. Grant necessitate additional time for her counsel to assess these developments and incorporate these new (and still-developing) facts into her Amended Complaint. Plaintiff believes that submitting one, comprehensive Amended Complaint after a proper investigation of these developments will promote efficiency and best preserve judicial resources. It is clear that the Court’s guidance is needed to reach consensus on a schedule to move this litigation forward. Plaintiff respectfully requests the Court schedule a status conference at its earliest convenience, and enter an order clarifying that no further submissions are due until the Court instructs otherwise."
Grant's attorneys also noted they were withdrawing the potential schedule they had proposed for the case as the Amended Complaint would negate it.
The Court has not yet responded to the matter.
Grant's lawsuit against McMahon, WWE and former WWE executive John Laurinaitus alleges “that McMahon lured her with promises of career advancement, and then he allegedly exploited her and trafficked her to other men inside the company.” Grant signed a nondisclosure agreement in 2022 with McMahon, agreeing to a payment of $3 million to not publicly disparage him or to discuss their relationship. She alleges in the suit that he stopped making payments after $1 million, one third of the agreement, was received. Her lawsuit is seeking to void the NDA and additional financial damages.
