A former WWE employee accused the sports entertainment company founder and CEO Vince McMahon of abuse and sexual exploitation in a lawsuit filed Thursday.
Plaintiff Janel Grant claims she “was the victim of physical and emotional abuse, sexual assault and trafficking at WWE.” The paperwork says Grant “is filing this lawsuit not just to address her own suffering, but also to act for those who are afraid to speak out.”
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut, outlines that the WWE founder and executive chairman lived in a penthouse duplex in the same apartment building as Grant.
