Janel Grant Says She Feels 'Forgiveness' Toward Vince McMahon
Grant says the events behind the Wall Street Journal report affected both her and McMahon, while her lawsuit now moves through private arbitration.
- In her first media interview since filing a 2024 lawsuit, Janel Grant discussed her ongoing legal battle against Vince McMahon with POST Wrestling, expressing "Forgiveness" toward her former boss and empathy for how the scandal equally impacted his life.
- When the Wall Street Journal report first emerged in 2022, Grant recalled her initial instinct was to worry about McMahon, asking her attorney "Is he okay?" and questioning whether he felt the same despair she experienced.
- Grant shared personal history, revealing she was touched inappropriately as a child by an adult at a horse barn around age twelve, an experience that forced her to stay away from the facility she loved.
- Following formal closure of her federal lawsuit in July 2026, the case against McMahon and WWE moved to private arbitration; Grant recently received an Advocacy in Action Award from the Connecticut Alliance for her NDA reform work.
- Grant continues to focus on the anonymous emails sent to the WWE board that triggered the Wall Street Journal investigation, maintaining that much of the content was a false "storyline" about her life.
