Janel Grant’s attorney responds to Vince McMahon’s statement on ‘Mr. McMahon’ docuseries

Janel Grant’s representation has released a statement regarding Vince McMahon’s message on social media.

Grant’s attorney Ann Callis responded to McMahon’s post on social media Monday where he dismissed the series, which premieres Tuesday night. He briefly mentioned the lawsuit, labeling it as “an affair I ended”.

“Vince McMahon physically and emotionally abused, sexually assaulted and human trafficked Janel Grant for more than two years. Calling his horrific and criminal behavior “an affair” is delusional and nothing more than a sad attempt to save his shredded reputation,” Callis’ statement reads. “Although Ms. Grant has not seen the “Mr. McMahon” docuseries, we hope it shines a bright light on his abhorrent and criminal actions by accurately portraying the realities of his abusive and exploitative behavior. “Ms. Grant will no longer be silenced by McMahon.”

“Her story, though deeply troubling and exceptionally painful, is one that can help other abuse survivors find their voices. We seek to hold McMahon, John Laurinaitis and WWE accountable and to give Ms. Grant her day in court.”

In his statement, McMahon said that the docuseries aimed to confuse viewers between his on-air character, Mr. McMahon, and himself.

In January, Grant launched her lawsuit against McMahon, John Laurinaitis, and WWE. In June, the judge officially paused the lawsuit at the request of the Justice Department, which is conducting its own investigation against McMahon. The lawsuit is set to resume in December.
