Janel Grant, a former employee at WWE’s headquarters who received a payout from McMahon after she accused him of sexual misconduct, "said in a lawsuit filed Thursday that she was abused and sexually exploited by McMahon while he was chief executive," reports The Wall Street Journal's Khadeeja Safdar. "She alleged that McMahon lured her with promises of career advancement, and then he allegedly exploited her and trafficked her to other men inside the company. Grant signed a nondisclosure agreement in 2022 in which McMahon agreed to pay $3 million for her to not discuss their relationship or to disparage him. The WWE received an anonymous tip in 2022 about the relationship and started a board investigation, which uncovered other payments by the CEO to women. Grant’s lawsuit said McMahon stopped making payments under the 2022 deal after the initial $1 million installment. The suit seeks to void the agreement and unspecified financial damages." McMahon and his attorney didn't immediately respond to a request for comment."
