Janel Grant Says She Feels 'Forgiveness' Towards Former WWE CEO Vince McMahon - Wrestling Inc.
Grant says the events behind the Wall Street Journal report affected both her and McMahon, while her lawsuit now moves through private arbitration.
- In her first media interview since filing a 2024 lawsuit, Janel Grant discussed her ongoing legal battle against Vince McMahon with POST Wrestling, expressing forgiveness and empathy for her former boss.
- When the Wall Street Journal report first emerged in 2022, Grant recalled her initial instinct was to worry about McMahon, questioning whether he felt the same suicidal despair she experienced.
- Beyond the allegations against McMahon, Grant revealed she survived sexual assault as a child, noting an adult at a horse barn touched her inappropriately, an experience she described as a heavy burden.
- Following the formal closure of her federal lawsuit in July 2026, the case against McMahon and WWE moved to private arbitration; Grant has since received an Advocacy in Action Award from the Connecticut Alliance.
- Grant continues to focus on the anonymous emails sent to the WWE board, maintaining that much of the content was a false "storyline" about her life rather than factual allegations.
