On late Friday night, Janel Grant amended her lawsuit against Vince McMahon, John Laurinaitis, and WWE. The suit alleged McMahon both sexually assaulted and sexually trafficked her.
At the same time, she was an employee of WWE, and Laurinaitis became a participant while WWE knew what was going on. The amended suit can be read here.
“Ms. Grant’s amended complaint reveals new details that further demonstrate the sexual abuse Janel Grant suffered at the hands of Vince McMahon and John Laurinaitis and pulls back the curtain on the dangerous workplace culture McMahon created at WWE,” Grant attorney Ann Callis said. “Ms. Grant looks forward to holding her abusers accountable in a court of law.”

The amended suit now includes new text messages, voicemail transcripts, and other new evidence. That includes Brock Lesnar’s name, which has been mentioned multiple times after being listed as a former UFC Heavyweight and WWE Champion. It includes an allegation that McMahon offered a sexual encounter with Grant to Lesnar as part of contract negotiations.
The suit also alleges that Grant was ordered to send Lesnar sexually explicit content of herself. McMahon’s attorney, Jessica Rosenberg, issued a statement sent to B.J. Bethel:
“As expected, the proposed amended complaint is nothing more than the latest publicity stunt in an ongoing smear campaign. It is filled with desperate falsehoods from a team that continues to disregard the law and the truth.”
