Janel Grant’s attorney issues statement on ‘Mr. McMahon’ docuseries

Janel Grant’s attorney has issued a statement regarding the Mr. McMahon docuseries released today on Netflix.

Grant has filed a lawsuit against former WWE chairman Vince McMahon, former WWE talent relations head John Laurinaitis, and WWE accusing McMahon of sexual assault and human trafficking of Grant.

The statement from Grant’s attorney Ann Callis reads:

“The ‘Mr. McMahon’ docuseries makes it clear there is no difference between Vince McMahon’s on-air persona and his true self, they are one and the same. His “character” – known for violent outbursts, sexual deviance, and manipulation – is the real Vince McMahon and exactly what Janel Grant experienced behind closed doors at WWE for years.

While the docuseries put McMahon’s obsession with power and control on full display, it only scratches the surface of his criminal behavior and it fails to tell the full story of his abuse, sexual assault, and human trafficking of Ms. Grant. She deserves the opportunity to tell her story, on her own time, and in her own way. We look forward to her day in court and to seeing McMahon at last held accountable for his actions.”
