John Pollock contributed to this report and participated in conducting the recorded interview. Video and audio of the interview will be published as a special edition of Pollock & Thurston<\/a>.<\/p>\n Note: This article contains references to suicidal ideation and to alleged sexual abuse, including of a minor, which may disturb some readers.

But what can hardly be disputed is that she abruptly went from having a private life to becoming a key figure in a high-stakes corporate scandal that made headlines worldwide. And it\u2019s clear that\u2019s a significant part of what occupies the former WWE employee today.<\/p>\n Grant spoke with POST Wrestling and Wrestlenomics last week for a wide-ranging interview. Her specific allegations against McMahon and WWE have been detailed in court filings and widely reported on previously. Our conversation touches on that story and uncovers who she was before WWE and what her life has been like since.<\/p>\n Near the end of our conversation, we asked what she feels now toward McMahon. She didn\u2019t describe anger, hatred, or fear. \u201cForgiveness,\u201d she answered.<\/p>\n For the last four years, Grant has been known mainly as a turning point. Through the first two of those years, she was known only as \u201ca former WWE paralegal\u201d\u2014a label she says is inaccurate and understates her role at the company. Later, her name became recognizable almost exclusively through news articles and a lawsuit that revealed graphic claims of sexual abuse, allegations that led to the removal of the most powerful figure in wrestling history, Vince McMahon.<\/p>\n WWE\u2019s board of directors was tipped off about Grant\u2019s relationship with McMahon, and his alleged treatment of her, by a series of anonymous emails sent in the spring of 2022. Grant has denied any involvement<\/a> in sending the messages. The board investigated and found multiple nondisclosure agreements, including one with Grant, which she has since argued is unenforceable. More than $14 million in NDAs and related sexual misconduct allegations against the WWE chairman are what pushed him out of the company the first time in July 2022. Then it was Grant\u2019s sex trafficking lawsuit that immediately led to his second, more permanent resignation in January 2024.<\/p>\n McMahon has called Grant\u2019s accusations in particular \u201cfictitious\u201d and \u201csalacious, false, and defamatory.\u201d In a statement from 2024<\/a>, through a spokesperson, McMahon said her lawsuit was \u201creplete with lies, obscene made-up instances that never occurred, and a vindictive distortion of the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n Grant agreed this past July to move her lawsuit against McMahon and WWE out of public court and into private arbitration.<\/p>\n Separate representatives for WWE and McMahon were contacted to provide comments for this story, but those requests were not returned. We also renewed a previous request for McMahon himself to join us for an interview, which has yet to be accepted.<\/p>\n MAR 2019 JUNE 2019 JAN 2022 MAR 2022 APR 2022 JUNE 2022 JULY 2022 JAN 2023 JAN 2024 JULY 2026 \u201cI want to give people the escape that I seek\u201d<\/p>\n Grant grew up in Mount Kisco, a suburb north of New York City. She was the only child of a municipal attorney and a mother who, she says, later became housebound by illness.\u00a0<\/p>\n Her small family bonded over things like Broadway.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t \t\t\t\tScreenshot<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t Photos courtesy of Janel Grant.<\/p>\n \u201cBroadway musicals and old movies that are musicals were like the soundtrack of my life, basically, growing up. And in going to the theater with my family, particularly my dad, there was something in the fabric of me that found an escape in theater, in storytelling.\u201d<\/p>\n Explaining her sense of herself as a person well-attuned to other people\u2019s emotions, she points to a song from a show she saw at ten years old, The Will Rogers Follies.<\/p>\n \u201cI used to sit and cry when I was a kid trying to understand why I felt so strongly about these lyrics.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n She recited: \u201cTry the shoes on that are his \/ Feel what makes him what he is \/ What it\u2019s like inside his skin \/ Living in the skin he\u2019s in \/ Just like me, a lump of sod \/ There but for the grace of God \/ That is the philosophy.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI used to sit with those lyrics and wonder why they spoke so profoundly to me,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd I just find myself able to put myself in somebody else\u2019s shoes. It\u2019s like empathy is a superpower basically that I was born with, and I just didn\u2019t have a word for it.\u201d<\/p>\n A high school panel on entertainment law led her toward the idea of becoming a Broadway producer, and from there, to law school, following her father\u2019s career.<\/p>\n \u201cI want[ed] to give people the escape that I seek, especially in my hardest moments, because it has not been easy [for me] growing up either.\u201d<\/p>\n Theater was one form of escape for Grant. Riding horses was another, and it\u2019s where she says she first learned that speaking up could cost her more than staying quiet.<\/p>\n \u201cI realized if I say something, my life will feel worse\u201d<\/p>\n Earlier, in her childhood, Grant rode horses through a 4-H club, and later as what\u2019s called a catch rider: someone without the money to own a horse, but who rides, conditions, and improves them.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t Photos courtesy of Janel Grant.<\/p>\n In one of those barns, she says she was sexually abused for the first time. She alleges she was cornered and inappropriately touched by a groom, a person at a barn who tends to horses. She was around age 11 or 12. He was an adult.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s where I kind of experienced sexual abuse in the first place when I was a kid\u2026 When you\u2019re backed into a corner by, let\u2019s say, a groom when you\u2019re a kid, and something inappropriate happens, and you speak up and say something because you\u2019re so uncomfortable, you don\u2019t know what to do. And when you speak up, when I spoke up, the groom, the first time it happened, he stayed in his role because they needed him\u2026 So basically, he kept his job despite what I said happened. Getting, you know, cornered into a stall and inappropriate touching, it just didn\u2019t matter. He kept his job. I was told to stay away from him. So the place that was my heaven became my hell.\u201d<\/p>\n She says she raised the incident to the owner of the barn, who told her to stay away from the man. Grant took a lesson from that experience that foreshadowed parts of her life a few decades later: \u201cI realized if I say something, my life will feel worse.\u201d<\/p>\n She says she told her parents about what happened at the time, but doesn\u2019t remember much about how they responded.<\/p>\n \u201cThey listened to me. They listened enough to eventually react.\u201d<\/p>\n She remembers more vividly that the groom was allowed to stay at the barn, and how the lack of consequences made her feel.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd somehow, again, I\u2019m a kid, valuing: \u2018But I want to be here with this group of people with this barn, but this guy comes with that package, and they\u2019re not going to let him go, but they\u2019re going to let me stay if I just tolerate it and avoid him.\u2019 And that\u2019s a lot to put on the shoulders of, you know, a kid in middle school.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI was directionless, anchorless\u201d<\/p>\n Around the time that Grant started law school at Pace University, her father\u2019s health was already fragile from a 2003 diagnosis of a serious lung disease, pulmonary fibrosis. But then he began a decline she now recognizes as the early signs of dementia. Around the same time, her mother suffered the first of a series of heart attacks.<\/p>\n \u201cMy dad was like an anomaly, and he made it past my mother and her passing, because she had a ton of problems, and she also had her first heart attack right before I started my first semester of law school, and that was basically the beginning of the end right there, because I already felt I was a caretaker by that point in time. I\u2019m an only child. I don\u2019t have help.\u201d<\/p>\n The family\u2019s finances had quietly collapsed without her knowledge, she says, which she discovered when a debit card was declined at the grocery store.<\/p>\n \u201cYou can\u2019t reverse engineer the financial decisions that you don\u2019t know about. I know a lot of things that I didn\u2019t know about until the day that Dad and I went to the supermarket in 2009\u2026 And we tried to buy\u2014it\u2019s pitiful\u2014like milk and bread from the food emporium, and the card got declined\u2026 We don\u2019t have money. We\u2019re basically broke. How did this happen? I was so sheltered. I didn\u2019t know it.\u201d<\/p>\n By her account, both sets of grandparents had passed away by the time she was in kindergarten.<\/p>\n \u201cI became the first kid in the class who, when you do something nice for your grandparents, broke down in tears because I didn\u2019t have them anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n And there was little extended family on either side of her parents to reach out to once her parents were sick. That left her managing simultaneous hospitalizations of her parents on her own.<\/p>\n \u201cIt would always be in two different [hospitals], because dad\u2019s pulmonary fibrosis made him more fit for New York City\u2019s big teaching hospitals, and my mom was in Westchester County local care\u2026 So if I had hospitalization juggling, I\u2019d just be zipping in a Zipcar back and forth between the two of them.\u201d<\/p>\n Asked whether caretaking and hospital volunteering made up most of her work history between finishing law school in 2009 and when she began working for WWE in 2019, Grant answered that WWE was her first corporate job.<\/p>\n \u201cI mean, if I\u2019m going back to the moment I was a hospital volunteer, I just was everybody\u2019s helper, and that\u2019s how I put together a resume. If there was an initiative that could be put together, like a food bank drive, or there was a party, like a holiday party here in the building, or there was some event that somebody needed help with, that made up [my] resume, and then that person introduces me to the next person, and it\u2019s like this major networking cycle that you can maintain while, you know, also caring for a sick parent.\u201d<\/p>\n After her mother passed in 2014, Grant\u2019s father died in 2017. She describes the period after that as a time without direction, one she responded to by volunteering at a hospital emergency room.<\/p>\n \u201cI was directionless, anchorless. I lost my thing. I lost my tribe\u2026 [The hospital] put me in prime hours, and I\u2019ve been there when people have coded. You hold the hands of family, and you\u2019re the first person that they\u2019re telling out loud, my husband just died\u2026 Being at the hospital was my purpose. It would have been what I wanted to do. I applied for jobs there. I just didn\u2019t happen to get a job there.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt felt so special until\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n It was against that backdrop\u2014without employment and with a resume built on volunteer work\u2014that Grant met WWE\u2019s chief executive. McMahon kept a top-floor penthouse in the high-rise building. Grant also lived in the building with a man McMahon\u2019s legal filings call her fianc\u00e9 and who Grant today says is her \u201ccaretaker and support system.\u201d She and McMahon were introduced to each other in March 2019.<\/p>\n According to her eventual lawsuit, the building\u2019s resident manager \u2014 identified in the complaint only as \u201cResident Manager,\u201d and described by Grant as her closest friend in the building \u2014 first raised the idea of McMahon speaking with Grant about finding a job. The complaint says the two women bonded \u201cover stories of adversity as they coordinated community initiatives in the building together.\u201d<\/p>\n The resident manager texted McMahon on Grant\u2019s behalf to suggest they meet. According to a text message Grant provided to the court, McMahon replied at 3:30 am and proposed that Grant visit him directly at his penthouse home.<\/p>\n Text message allegedly sent by Vince McMahon in 2019 related to being introduced to Janel Grant. Image sourced from Grant\u2019s amended complaint, filed May 7, 2025, in U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut.<\/p>\n In her legal filings, Grant says McMahon told her he didn\u2019t just want to give her a job, but \u201ca life.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n She elaborated to us about what that promise actually meant to her.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was actually more than that\u2026 It\u2019s a moment of feeling as though you\u2019ve done everything right and you\u2019ve done good, and all the things that you\u2019ve done that are good lead to this moment that you get a job in a way that feels fated.\u201d<\/p>\n In the lead-up to her hiring, Grant and the building manager were given VIP treatment by McMahon to attend WrestleMania that year at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.<\/p>\n \u201cI mean, I was sent to WrestleMania with my best friend. We were in front of the building taking pictures. We called them prom pictures. But we were taking pictures and people were taking pictures of us. And it was like this unified, go get \u2018em. And it felt so special until\u2026 Things changed.\u201d<\/p>\n Grant\u2019s lawsuit says that was the beginning of a relationship with McMahon, in which he dangled a WWE job while pushing for physical intimacy. Once she was hired into an entry-level role in WWE\u2019s legal department in June 2019, Grant claims, their relationship escalated into a pattern of coercion and sexual assault, including the non-consensual sharing of sexually explicit images of her body, orchestrated actual sexual encounters with then-WWE executive John Laurinaitis, and proposed sexual encounters with star wrestler Brock Lesnar amid his talent contract renewal.<\/p>\n In a sworn affidavit<\/a> filed in the Grant case in 2024, McMahon described his relationship with Grant as \u201can approximately three-year friendship and consensual, intimate relationship,\u201d beginning in March 2019 and ending around January 2022. He said he helped arrange her interview with WWE\u2019s human resources department after she told him she needed a job, and that when the relationship ended, the two negotiated a nondisclosure agreement. He says that Grant herself negotiated the related payment from $1 million to an even higher $3 million. In exchange, Grant agreed to resign from WWE, release both McMahon and his company from liability, and keep their relationship a secret. He paid the first $1 million days after the NDA was signed, then withheld the remaining $2 million after the scandal around him unraveled into an explosive news story in the months that followed.<\/p>\n Just over two months after the NDA was signed, an anonymous emailer, identified only with the handle \u201cdrosen77,\u201d used an encrypted email address to send various members of WWE\u2019s board of directors three emails on March 30, April 11, and April 14, 2022, alerting directors of the relationship between Grant and McMahon. To this day, we don\u2019t know who was behind those emails, and as far as we know, none of the various investigations related to the scandal identified the sender. The writer described themselves as her friend, but Grant denies she had anything to do with the emails.\u00a0<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t Images sourced from unsealed exhibits in the WWE merger lawsuit in the Delaware Court of Chancery. Identifying information, including that of Janel Grant, was redacted in these documents, consistent with the treatment in that case of identifying information for all counterparties to settlement agreements with Vince McMahon.<\/p>\n With poor spelling and typos, the emails say Grant was mistreated by McMahon and Laurinaitis, and that McMahon paid her off. The messages also contained certain inaccuracies. They got details like the ages of Grant and Laurinaitis wrong. But the messages did enough to trigger the board into action. The anonymous emailer urged WWE\u2019s board to find settlements and to look at images on McMahon\u2019s phone. Only after the third of the emails did the board open an investigation. And soon, The Wall Street Journal learned about the inquiry.<\/p>\n When The Journal broke the news of the NDA between Grant and McMahon in June 2022, WWE told the outlet the relationship had been consensual and that the company was cooperating with its own board of directors\u2019 investigation.<\/p>\n \u201cMy life was instantly not mine anymore\u201d<\/p>\n Grant says The Journal began calling people close to her in May 2022. She eventually learned that a story was imminent on the afternoon of June 15.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m a private person. To have everything ripped out from underneath you, and just the ground swallowed me, like my bones gave out. I collapsed to the ground when I got the call that there was going to be, at any moment\u2026 a story in The Wall Street Journal.\u201d<\/p>\n She says she was also told, through her attorney at the time, \u201cthat Vince feels badly about this. So it\u2019s like being instantly the loneliest person on the planet.\u201d<\/p>\n Representatives for McMahon didn\u2019t return a request to confirm whether this accurately describes how he felt at the time.<\/p>\n With the story about to break, her first instinct, she says, was to ask about McMahon.<\/p>\n \u201cI asked the attorney a question that I don\u2019t know I ever got an answer [to]. I said, \u2018Is he okay?\u2019 Because I thought, if I instantly felt like I might want to not be here anymore, if this was something that maybe my light goes out in life, why wouldn\u2019t he feel the same way, if something\u2019s about to be outed.\u201d<\/p>\n We asked her about that instinct. Considering what she alleges McMahon did to her, how does she explain her concern for him despite her allegations that he sexually abused and exerted coercive control over her?<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s actually, to be in my body and see the world through my eyes, it\u2019s pretty easy,\u201d she said. \u201cHe\u2019s the only person who can tell me if I\u2019m going to be okay. And what\u2019s going on, like, what just happened? How did this happen? He\u2019s the only person who would know that. That\u2019s how I felt.\u201d<\/p>\n The story was published at 3:52 pm<\/a> that day. Since leaving WWE a few months earlier, she\u2019d started a new job working for the condo complex. In her new role, she was due to attend a residents\u2019 board meeting that evening.\u00a0<\/p>\n In her home before the meeting, she came close to taking her own life that evening, she says, \u201cbecause my life was instantly not mine anymore. There was a narrative that rewrote my life, like my life is not mine. So what is life?\u201d<\/p>\n It was her former fianc\u00e9, who she still lived with at the time, who stopped her from hurting herself, she says.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was like someone, like zapping me almost, like pushing me, like go, get out, go, go, like move, just like snapping my brain\u2026 And it was only because of that, that I somehow, with no memory of how, put on a dress and went downstairs for this meeting.\u201d<\/p>\n So she attended and ran the board meeting. People there could tell something was wrong, she says. The article didn\u2019t name her, and it wasn\u2019t until the outlet\u2019s follow-up on July 8, 2022<\/a>, that it reported McMahon and Grant were neighbors. But Grant believes many people who lived in the building could easily deduce it was Grant who was referred to as the departing WWE employee \u201cwith whom [McMahon] allegedly had an affair.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cEveryone\u2019s looking. One person during the meeting slipped me some paper: \u2018Are you okay?\u2019 Another [person said], \u2018Call me.\u2019 Another one texted me The Wall Street Journal article. They knew.\u201d<\/p>\n Among her other claims, Grant\u2019s lawsuit says she suffers from anxiety and depression and that she\u2019s unable to leave home for weeks at a time out of fear and PTSD. Because of that, the suit says, she lost the job working for the condo building in January 2023.<\/p>\n \u201cForgiveness\u201d<\/p>\n Considering her experiences over the last several years and her allegations against him, we asked, what does she feel toward McMahon today?<\/p>\n \u201cForgiveness,\u201d she answered. \u201cI don\u2019t know how else to describe it, other than there\u2019s something that does not take up space in my brain. I feel even empathy, because in a weird way, and this is extreme polar opposites, the thing that might\u2026 the series of events that caused The Journal story to happen\u2014whatever it was\u2014it equally impacted him\u2026 There are so many people involved in [the] decision-making that I can\u2019t sit still and process.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cInstead,\u201d she says, \u201cwhat occupies my brain is whatever series of events and decision-makers caused the anonymous emails to happen or The Wall Street Journal story to happen, and the events that have played out since, however they have played out. That is what occupies my brain.\u201d<\/p>\n WWE has largely avoided speaking publicly about Grant, limiting its statements almost entirely to legal filings. In 2024, a WWE spokesperson provided a rare comment<\/a>, saying the company \u201ctakes Ms. Grant\u2019s allegations very seriously and has no tolerance for any physical abuse or unwanted physical contact.\u201d<\/p>\n McMahon\u2019s short-lived return to the company in 2023<\/a> lasted long enough for him to make the deal that merged WWE with UFC into TKO Group Holdings. That transaction, which saw him part with controlling ownership of WWE, was harder to imagine McMahon agreeing to before the scandal of NDAs and misconduct allegations emerged.<\/p>\n For Grant, that\u2019s turned her into a permanent presence at WWE, despite leaving when she signed an NDA four years ago. Addressing TKO\u2019s board of directors at a news conference last February<\/a>, she contended that her story is forever linked to the company\u2019s history.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you didn\u2019t know this part of your origin story. Now you know,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n In her interview with us, she added: \u201cBecause of this series of events that got kicked into gear that have nothing to do with me originating it in terms of some active thing, it\u2019s like I\u2019m just a presence that has never left. Basically, they\u2019re a presence in my life. I\u2019m a presence in their lives. We\u2019re all basically a presence in each other\u2019s lives.\u201d<\/p>\n So far this year, Grant has turned her focus to changing what happens in the future to people who might be bound by nondisclosure agreements like hers.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m very lucky to have a pulse right now.\u201d<\/p>\n A few days before speaking with us, Grant stood in front of a room of supporters in Hartford and accepted an award from an advocacy group, the Connecticut Alliance to End Sexual Violence. The award recognized her efforts earlier in the year pushing an NDA-reform law that made it through two legislative committees but ultimately stalled this spring, never coming to a vote.\u00a0<\/p>\n Grant was among those honored at the annual fundraising event held by the Alliance, just six weeks after a health crisis that she says she nearly didn\u2019t survive. She posted images to social media<\/a> in August, showing what appears to be her recent hospital visit.<\/p>\n \u201cI tripped on a carpet runner,\u201d Grant explained at the event on Sept. 11. \u201cA hard one, and I went face forward into a wooden bed frame and wall unit with floating cabinets. Everything that happened after is a blackout. And my next memory is basically cutting in when I\u2019m being driven to the hospital out of concern for my well-being. I\u2019m currently healing from a concussion, broken ribs, a busted-up face. I bit through my lip.\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s unclear what precipitated the fall, but Grant says that \u201cbased on what\u2019s been pieced together, I took a series of substances of unknown proportions each day, and I\u2019m very lucky to have a pulse right now.\u201d<\/p>\n The incident followed the dismissal of her federal lawsuit against McMahon and WWE. She and the defendants agreed to move the case into private arbitration in late July, bringing an end to more than two years of public litigation.<\/p>\n After having no previously known social media presence, Grant started a public Instagram account in April. She credits people she\u2019s connected with recently online as among those who got her through her recent struggles.<\/p>\n \u201cThey weren\u2019t in the same room as me,\u201d Grant said at the Alliance event<\/a>. \u201cThey weren\u2019t there to witness me being injured, but they sensed, just [through] communication, that I was off, that I needed help, that I needed to get to a hospital. And they made calls, and they cast a net, and they did things I can\u2019t remember because I [was] concussed. I was wandering around for maybe ten days, just aimlessly, behind a locked door [at home], but in a blackout.\u201d<\/p>\n Speaking with us, she said the ceremony in Hartford marked an ending to a period defined by multiple investigations and lawsuits connected to her allegations.<\/p>\n \u201cSo when that ended, the rest began, and to be at the Alliance event on Friday was like a chapter closing,\u201d she told us. \u201cIt really was a pencils-down moment. I suddenly realized I am speaking in front of a crowd, healing from a concussion and all these recent injuries I had around six weeks ago, supported, being taken seriously and seeing this evolution even of the upcoming [Connecticut legislative] session ahead, the potential reintroduction of a bill I advocated for.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m still breathing\u201d<\/p>\n Earlier this year, Grant spoke twice at the state capitol in Connecticut, pushing for a bill that would have limited how NDAs can be used to cover up workplace misconduct. At the Alliance ceremony earlier this month, though, Grant said advocates and lawmakers were discussing reviving the bill that wasn\u2019t voted on last session.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the legal storm surrounding McMahon has been winding down. One of his attorneys said in 2025 that the federal government\u2019s investigation into his conduct had ended with no charges filed<\/a> and only a penalty levied<\/a> by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Since then, Grant says she feels more free to be a public advocate, now that there\u2019s no confidential inquiry to protect.<\/p>\n Grant closed out her remarks at the Alliance event, saying:<\/p>\n \u201cEverything from my bones to my bank account is still broken. Any problem I had yesterday is still going to be there tomorrow. But I\u2019m standing in gratitude, and it feels like this joyous, hard-won, defiant-against-the-odds, honest celebration of life and of the power of the Alliance because I\u2019m still here. I\u2019m still breathing.\u201d<\/p>\n \t
