Vince McMahon Faces New Allegations of Sex Trafficking – A recent report from The Wall Street Journal unveils a new lawsuit against Vince McMahon, filed by former WWE employee Janel Grant in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. This lawsuit accuses McMahon and WWE of sex trafficking, reigniting a controversy that dates back to 2022.
Accusations and Background
Grant alleges that McMahon, under the promise of career advancement, exploited and trafficked her to other men within the company. Her previous allegations in 2022 led to McMahon’s temporary retirement, subsequent return, and the forced sale of WWE to Endeavor.

Nondisclosure Agreement and Broken Promises
In 2022, Grant signed a nondisclosure agreement (NDA) with McMahon, agreeing to a $3 million payment to keep silent about their relationship. However, she claims that McMahon stopped payments after receiving $1 million, a third of the agreed-upon amount. The lawsuit aims to void the NDA and seeks additional financial damages.
WWE Board of Directors’ Investigation
A WWE Board of Directors investigation into McMahon’s relationships, including with Grant, uncovered that $14.6 million of the $20 million in payments should have been recorded as company business expenses. McMahon reimbursed the company for these expenses, as reflected in amended SEC filings.
Federal Investigation and Grand Jury Subpoena
According to subsequent SEC filings, on July 17, 2023, federal law enforcement agents executed a search warrant and served a federal grand jury subpoena on McMahon. The investigation, linked to the Janel Grant payout, is ongoing. No charges have been filed against McMahon as of today.
