Janel Grant is a Connecticut citizen and former WWE employee who served as a full-time caregiver for her parents until their deaths, after which she faced profound grief and financial hardship. She resided in an apartment building in Stamford, Connecticut, alongside Vince McMahon and was introduced to him in spring 2019 by the building's resident manager seeking career assistance for her. Employed by WWE from June 2019 to March 2022 as a 'legal administrator-coordinator' with an initial salary of $75,000, she contributed to behind-the-scenes work in legal and talent management, receiving promises of career advancement, VIP experiences like WrestleMania attendance, and gifts from McMahon. In January 2022, she signed a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) under alleged pressure from McMahon, receiving a $1 million payment and coverage of attorney fees. On January 25, 2024, she filed a civil lawsuit (Case 3:24-cv-00090) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut against WWE (n/k/a World Wrestling Entertainment, LLC), Vincent K. McMahon, and John Laurinaitis, alleging physical and emotional abuse, sexual assault, and sex trafficking at WWE headquarters; she claims the NDA is invalid under federal and state laws, including the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA), and seeks declaratory judgment and accountability. Grant cooperated with a federal investigation by the Southern District of New York and recently filed a police report related to the allegations. Described as resilient amid trauma, she endured in silence until coming forward and has engaged in public advocacy, making her first public comments since the lawsuit in February 2026, speaking at the Connecticut Alliance to End Sexual Violence event about her experiences and survival 'by a series of miracles,' and testifying in a Connecticut legislative hearing with graphic details of the alleged assault while advocating for NDA reform.
