Direct link to the court filing should anyone wish to peruse: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.ctd.157647/gov.uscourts.ctd.157647.1.0.pdf (and as I mentioned in the other comments: content warning - details of sexual acts and just Vince McMahon being really fucking gross...)
Edit: Statement from Attorney representing Janel Grant:
Edit: PWI - There Is No Choice Left to Make, Wwe Must Move on From Vince Mcmahon - Whatever It Costs
Edit: TKO - “Mr. McMahon does not control TKO nor does he oversee the day-to-day operations of WWE. While this matter predates our TKO executive team’s tenure at the company, we take Ms. Grant’s horrific allegations very seriously and are addressing this matter internally.”
Edit: McMahon's Spokesperson: "This lawsuit is replete with lies, obscene made-up instances that never occurred, and a vindictive distortion of the truth. He will vigorously defend himself."
So instead of editing my old post, I'm just going to add a new one, based on new info I'm looking at... because I read the court pdf on the lawsuit itself, the WSJ was horrifying, the whole thing in the court docs is even more terrifying, especially the texts. The WSJ painted a tame picture, IMO, compared to what I read in the PDF.
I am concerned about allegations of the board coverup, especially what proof she has against Stephanie, claiming that Stephanie helped cover it up, although my memory of events was she quit shortly before the story broke, then only came back when he was gone, then quit again when he took back control.
These guys and everybody that was involved, if true, should be locked under the jail or worse.
The court documents are nightmare fuel.
I don't think she wanted to work with her father after that. Not that I could blame her. If she covered it up she's almost as bad as he is though.
Bullshit he doesn't have some hand in the day to day at WWE in some facet.
