A lawsuit by former WWE employee Janet Grant revealed that wrestling magnate and former CEO of the professional wrestling promotion Vince McMahon sexually abused her using sex toys and defecated on her during a sexual encounter.
McMahon also allegedly forced Grant to send sexually suggestive videos to wrestlers and also sex trafficked her to other WWE executives and wrestlers, according to the filing submitted to the Connecticut federal court this week.
Grant revealed that McMahon hurt her during the sexual encounters where he penetrated with sex toys that he named after wrestling stars, leading to bleeding and bruising.
McMahon defecated on Grant’s head during a forced threesome in May 2020, a sexual act involving three people, where John Laurinaitis, WWE’s former head of talent relations, was also present. He is also named as a defendant in the court filings.
McMahon and Laurinaitis allegedly said offensive remarks like “No means yes” and “Take it, b—h” during the assault on Grant, as mentioned in the lawsuit during an encounter in June 2021.
He also forced Grant to visit Laurinaitis in his hotel rooms where she had sex with him before workdays.
The WWE in 2023 opened an internal investigation into an alleged $3 million payment from McMahon to a departing female employee following a consensual affair.
Grant says she received an initial instalment of $1 million but no further payments afterward in the new lawsuit.
The lawsuit alleges that McMahon forced himself upon her at a massage table in WWE headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut.
He also forced Grant to film a sexually suggestive video and send it to wrestler Brock Lesnar to lure him back to the WWE. The wrestler shifted to the UFC – a mixed martial arts sporting promotion – and McMahon allegedly tried to use Grant to bring him back to the WWE.
She said that McMahon sent her texts like: “I’m the only one who owns U and controls who I want to f— U”. He shared her nude photos and explicit videos without her consent to other WWE employees. He also allegedly directed Grant to have sex with other executives and a wrestling star.
An internal investigation found that McMahon paid $14.6 million to several women who accused him of sexual misconduct.
In July last year, federal agents executed a search warrant and served a grand jury subpoena to McMahon, as stated in a regulatory filing. WWE reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that ongoing government investigations into McMahon haven’t resulted in charges.
