Big Update on Janel Grant’s Lawsuit Against Vince McMahon – Earlier todat, Vince McMahon’s legal team submitted a new statement as they continue to push for arbitration in Janel Grant’s lawsuit against McMahon.
In the statement, McMahon’s side wrote, “Should the Court find it necessary to conduct a hearing on any issue, Defendant respectfully reserves his right to introduce additional evidence that bears on witness credibility, sophistication, state of mind, and similar issues”.
In the filing, McMahon’s side maintains that they submitted undisputed facts, and they had the right to “introduce additional evidence that bears on witness credibility, sophistication, state of mind, and similar issues.”
The company also submitted a Memorandum of Law, in which they state that they dispute Grant’s allegations but not that the matter “cannot be heard in court because Grant agreed to arbitrate her claims.”
WWE also argues that Grant does not have actionable claims because “ecause the separation and non-disclosure agreement she signed with McMahon and WWE (the “Agreement”)—the monetary benefits of which she concededly accepted and retained—contains an arbitration provision that unambiguously precludes this Court from adjudicating her claims.”
Furthermore, WWE cites the non-disclosure agreement that Grant signed in 2022, in which she agreed to waive any right to pursue a lawsuit or make legal claims against McMahon or WWE. WWE also argues that the agreement includes “a clear and unambiguous arbitration provision.”
WWE also counters Grant’s side’s argument that the NDA was made nonbinding by the Speak Out Act and Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000 by asserting that the laws do not apply to arbitration.
