A lawyer for John Laurinaitis issued a statement to VICE News today in regards to the allegations made against him and Vince McMahon in the lawsuit filed by former WWE employee Janel Grant.
Attorney Edward Brennan told VICE News, “Mr. Laurinaitis denies the allegations in the misguided complaint and will be vigorously defending these charges in Court, not the media. Like the Plaintiff, Mr. Laurinaitis is a victim in this case, not a predator. The truth will come out.”
VICE got clarification on the statement to make it clear that what Laurinaitis is saying is that he is a victim of McMahon. The statement sent to VICE News states, “Read the allegations. Read the Federal Statute. Power, control, employment supervisory capacity, dictatorial sexual demands with repercussions if not met. Count how many times in the complaint Vince exerts control over both of them.”
