Attorney for Janel Grant, Former WWE Employee and Sexual Assault Survivor, Releases Statement on “Ring Boys” Lawsuit Claiming Vince McMahon and WWE Turned a Blind Eye to Sexual Abuse
NEW YORK – Ann Callis, attorney for Janel Grant, the former WWE employee and sexual assault and human trafficking survivor who has filed a lawsuit against former WWE CEO Vince McMahon, WWE executive John Laurinaitis, and the WWE organization, released the following statement on the new “ring boys” lawsuit alleging years of sexual abuse as minors while hired by WWE. The lawsuit seeks to hold Vince and Linda McMahon, WWE, and their parent company, TKO Holdings, accountable for turning a blind eye to the alleged abuse.
“The allegations in the ‘ring boys’ lawsuit against WWE are deeply troubling. Vince McMahon made sexual abuse and human trafficking a hallmark of WWE’s culture for decades. Survivors like Janel Grant and other former WWE employees deserve their day in court. All former WWE employees who experienced sexual abuse and harassment should be allowed to tell the truth by having their non-disclosure agreements waived. Ms. Grant stands by all WWE survivors and believes that Mr. McMahon, WWE, and all involved parties must be held accountable.”
