Vince McMahon sex-trafficking lawsuit takes sordid new twist as he makes graphic new allegations against ex-WWE employee

READ: Vince McMahon to sever final ties with WWE by selling his TKO shares  READ : McMahon accuser 'wrote love letter to ex-WWE CEO after alleged abuse'  DailyMail.com provides all the latest international sports news 

The sex-trafficking lawsuit against Vince McMahon has taken another sordid twist with the WWE founder now claiming his accuser wanted 'rough sex' and thousands of dollars for 'plastic surgery'.

Ex-WWE employee Janel Grant filed a lawsuit back in January, accusing the company's former CEO and other executives of sex trafficking as well as emotional and physical abuse during her time with the wrestling promotion.

The 78-year-old billionaire hit back last month, denying the explosive charges levied against him. He also claimed Grant pursued their affair by sneaking into his penthouse apartment in the middle of the night to cheat on her fiancé, who lived in the same building.

The wrestling mogul said Grant was a willing participant in their sexual relationship for three years. His filing also includes a excerpts from a purported love letter he received from the former employee.

Grant then filed a motion asking the court to strike the 'inflammatory lies' made by McMahon.

'Instead of using his Motion in the appropriate manner...  McMahon instead uses the Motion’s “Preliminary Statement” as a platform to launch vicious falsehoods attacking Janel’s moral character in a transparent attempt to harass and intimidate her into submission,' he motion read.

'Even for Vince McMahon, the baseless, irrelevant, and false statements in the Motion’s “Preliminary Statement”—designed solely to harass and intimidate his longtime victim, Janel Grant—are a new low,' she added.

'Consistent with his past behavior, McMahon twists these truths to fit his own fictional narrative, much like the fantasy world of professional wrestling from where he came.'

But now, according to SEScoops, McMahon has made several fresh allegations against Grant, including:

  • 'That she was in love with him McMahon and he was the love of her life 
  • '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'

Grant worked at WWE's headquarters in Stamford between June 2019 and March 2022

Grant had previously taken aim at 'unsupported assertions' - including that she was 'absent' in her 'dying parents’ lives' - and 'falsehoods conceived by McMahon to intimidate Janel into submission—as he has done countless times before.'

The motion continued: 'McMahon’s lies are easily disproven. In truth, while Janel’s father was in in-home hospice care during his final days, Janel continued to provide him with around-the-clock care. At the same time, Janel had also cared for her blind, wheelchair-bound mother until her death.'

She added: 'McMahon’s desperate attempt to distract from the legal substance of the Motion highlight its weakness and the weakness of his overall case.'

Among Grant's initial claims were that McMahon defecated on her during a threesome and forcefully penetrated her with sex toys, which he named after his wrestlers. 

She also alleged that McMahon and another WWE executive locked her in a room at the WWE's Stamford, Connecticut headquarters in June of 2021 and took turns sexually assaulting during the work day.

McMahon denied the allegations, claiming: 'It is nonsensical that the disturbing alleged acts in the Complaint including violence, coerced sex, and forcing Plaintiff to be defecated on were taking place before Plaintiff returned to her lawyer fiancé four floors below without incident.'

The filing continued: 'In fact, in a love letter Plaintiff wrote to Defendant shortly before the Parties ended their relationship, Plaintiff described Defendant as ''[m]y best friend, my love and my everything,'' praising him for being the 'wonderful, tender, vulnerable, heart-on-your-sleeve soul you really are."'

The 78-year-old said it was 'incredulous' that Grant, 'a then 42-year-old woman who claims on her resume to have a law degree from Pace University, would have written these words to Defendant months after all the events in the Complaint of alleged abuse, coercion, and ''sex-trafficking'' took place.'

Last month it emerged that McMahon will end his fifty-year association with WWE by selling his remaining shares in TKO.

McMahon has worked for WWE since the 1960s, before eventually buying the company from his father and transforming it into a sports entertainment brand and the biggest name in professional wrestling - whilst making him a billionaire along the way.
