Vince McMahon Sex Trafficking & Abuse Lawsuit Update – Janel Grant’s Lawsuit Against McMahon & WWE Officially Closed

As noted before, former WWE employee Janel Grant filed a lawsuit in January of 2024 against former WWE/TKO Executive Chairman Vince McMahon accusing McMahon of committing sex trafficking and sexual abuse towards her during her time in the company. Grant filed an amended lawsuit in February of 2025 detailing new evidence and claims against McMahon, WWE, and others. Grant had filed a memorandum this past April containing additional details in her allegations against McMahon, WWE President Nick Khan, former WWE Head of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis, Brock Lesnar, and WWE itself. The court had approved McMahon, Grant, and WWE’s request this past June for the lawsuit to be moved out of the public and into private arbitration, which was made official last week. Grant, McMahon, and WWE also had filed a voluntary dismissal of the suit with prejudice this past Friday.

PWInsider’s Mike Johnson reported that Judge Sarah F. Russel of The United States District Court of Connecticut issued an official order earlier today for all pending motions to be terminated as moot and the lawsuit case to be officially closed.

Portion of court filing:

“The parties have filed a stipulation of dismissal pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(ii). Accordingly, the Clerk is respectfully directed to terminate all pending motions as moot and to close the case.”

Johnson reported that this means that Grant’s case will now go to private arbitration for a settlement deal.
