Brock Lesnar is under fire for a recent report from The Wall Street Journal.
Former WWE employee, Janel Grant, has filed a lawsuit alleging that the executive chairman of TKO Group Holdings, Vince McMahon, sexually assaulted her. She alleges both McMahon and former WWE head of talent relations John Laurinaitis were sex trafficking her.
In the complaint, it was alleged that back in June 2021, McMahon and Laurinaitis “forcibly touched” Grant in Laurinaitis’ office. She claimed both men took turns restraining her on a table despite her pleas for them to stop.
TKO Group Holdings issued the following statement to Variety:
“Mr. McMahon does not control TKO Group HoldingsTKO nor does he oversee the day-to-day operations of WWE. While this matter predates our TKO executive team’s tenure at the company, we take Ms. Grant’s horrific allegations very seriously and are addressing this matter internally.”
Brock Lesnar Named In Bombshell Report
A report from The Wall Street Journal states that during McMahon’s attempt to lure Brock Lesnar to signing a new contract, he shared explicit photos of Grant. The report also claims that Lesnar asked for a video of Grant urinating, which he ended up receiving. It’s alleged that an attempt for a “play date” was thwarted due to bad weather.
Fightful Select reports that Lesnar was a potential option for a Royal Rumble surprise this Saturday night. In light of The Wall Street Journal report, Fightful says that idea might change.
Grant’s allegations against McMahon and Laurinaitis are serious to say the least. Grant claims she was both “pressured” to leave her position in WWE, and “forced” to sign a $3 million NDA. Once McMahon allegedly failed to hold up his end of the deal, Grant’s story leaked online.
