Kendra Barkoff Lamy, the spokesperson representing Janel Grant, has released a statement on reports that Vince McMahon is preparing to launch an entertainment company.

PWInsider reported yesterday that McMahon wants to establish a new “entertainment hub company” to fund, develop, and produce film and TV projects. Multiple former WWE employees are said to be linked to the project.

Lamy says, “No one who cares about survivors and justice” should want to work with any company run by McMahon. Her statement reads:

“Both on and off the camera, Vince McMahon has built a reputation for his violent outbursts, sexual deviance, manipulation, and abuse. No one who cares about survivors and justice should want to work for or with any company of McMahon’s. He needs to be held accountable for the heinous acts he committed against Janel Grant and others at WWE.”

Lamy also spoke with Forbes yesterday regarding WWE’s lack of a sexual harassment policy on its website, which was evidently removed at some point after June 2022.

“WWE has been sued many times for failing to protect employees from sexual misconduct by executives and toxic workplace culture, including by Janel Grant, who endured years of sexual abuse at the hands of founder and former WWE CEO Vince McMahon, WWE executive John Laurinaitis, and the WWE organization,” she said.

“It is outrageous that WWE claims to have improved their workplace environment, yet they have no visible sexual harassment or workplace conduct policies listed on their website. This means WWE employees have no reference for appropriate behavior and no visible guidelines to report abuse. This is yet another example of WWE’s carelessness and failure to protect their employees, and we can only hope no one is harmed by this dangerous oversight. WWE employees deserve better.”
