Vince McMahon accuser Janel Grant says WWE never responded to police after intimidation report

It was reported by The Wall Street Journal in January of 2024 that Janel Grant, a former WWE employee, filed a lawsuit against WWE, Vince McMahon, and John Laurinaitis in a Connecticut federal court. McMahon was accused of sex trafficking in the complaint.

Grant and her attorney, Erica Nolan, testified before the Connecticut Labor and Public Employees Committee on March 2nd 2026, urging lawmakers to pass legislation banning workplace NDAs that silence misconduct victims. During the testimony, Grant said she recently filed a police report over online intimidation she believed threatened her safety, adding that police contacted WWE but received no response.

Here is what Grant stated…

“This past week alone, I filed a police report because I noticed some intimidation tactics online playing out that were potentially going to pose a threat and jeopardize my safety in some way that I could not ignore. I called the police. They took a report. The officer reached out to WWE and to the state. When I got the report yesterday, WWE did not return the police officer’s phone call.”

Grant’s attorney also made the following comments…

“For someone bound by an NDA, intimidation does not have to be loud or obvious – it can be as simple as a letter from a lawyer reminding a victim of what they signed. In Ms. Grant’s case, however, the intimidation has been both loud and obvious. She has faced public retaliation, exposure of her personal information, witness intimidation, and even public mockery on national television of what she experienced.”

“This is not about punishing employers; it is about protecting workers here in Connecticut. NDAs are often framed as neutral tools, but when used in cases involving misconduct, they function primarily to protect the employer, not the employee.” (quotes courtesy of F4WOnline.com)
