New Vince McMahon Memorandum Claims Ex-WWE CEO Was Janel Grant's "Best Friend"

Janel Grant wanted to be the best friend of Vince McMahon as well as surgery paid for by the ex-WWE Chairman, a legal representative of McMahon has claimed.

Grant has alleged that she was sexually abused and trafficked by McMahon and was used by others in WWE including John Laurinaitis. McMahon has denied all claims against him but stepped down from WWE in January 2024 due to the lawsuit.

In more recent weeks, McMahon and other defendants have tried to compel arbitration that would see the matter settled outside of court. Grant's legal team has rejected the notion and has filed for recent comments made by McMahon to be struck from the record. These comments share "vicious falsehoods attacking Janel’s moral character" according to this motion.

In the most recent response from McMahon's legal team, they claim that Grant's effort to strike McMahon's comments are the "height of hypocrisy" given what she has alleged about him. The new memorandum adds that the discovery in this case will show the following:

• That she [Grant] was in love with him [McMahon] and he was the love of her life
• That he was her best friend
• That she wanted to have sex with him and provided graphic detail
• That she fantasized about being held down, enjoyed being in pain, and wanted rough sex
• That she wanted Defendant to watch her have sex with other people and know about her sex with others
• That she wanted Defendant to give her thousands of dollars for clothes, plastic surgery, and other gifts
• That she wanted to have a future with Defendant even after signing the Agreement.
• That she wanted Defendant to keep living in the same building, so she could continue to see him, even after signing the Agreement

This is hardly the first time McMahon's legal team have tried to assert that Grant was a willing participant in their 'relationship.' Jessica Rosenburg, a member of McMahon's team, has claimed that Grant was in love with McMahon and her lawsuit is revenge for their relationship ending.

This becoming like a Law & Order: SVU episode. A he said, she said deal. I know women who like those things but as we all know, a lot of powerful and I guess non powerful men have forced this to.
