On Tuesday, John Pollock of "POST Wrestling" spoke with Janel Grant, the former WWE employee who filed a lawsuit accusing Vince McMahon ofsex trafficking and abuse, and shared how she feels about the situation now that the legal battle closed this past July after all parties agreed to move the case to private arbitration.Despite the alleged mental, emotional and physical torment that was inflicted on her, Grant shared that she reflects on her relationship with McMahon with empathy."Forgiveness," Grant said. "I don't know how else to describe it, other than there's something that does not take up space in my brain. I feel even empathy, because in a weird way, and this is extreme polar opposites, the thing that might ... the series of events that caused the [WallStreet Journal]story to happen whatever it was it equally impacted him ... There are so many people involved in [the] decision-making that I can't sit still and process," she claimed."What occupies my brain is whatever series of events and decision-makers caused the anonymous emails to happen or the Wall Street Journal story to happen, and the events that have played out since, however they have played out."The Wall Street Journal first broke the news in the summer of 2022 that Vince McMahon had made hush money payments to four women to cover up allegations of abuse, causing McMahon to initially resign from his multiple positions in WWE. Two years later, Grant filed a 67-page lawsuit against McMahon,John Laurinaitis, and WWE, which detailed the sexual assault and trafficking allegations.Anonymous emails delivered to WWE executives were messages sent from a friend of Grant, which includes the allegations against McMahon. However, Grant also claims that the emails contained false information about her life and most of the content involved was a "storyline." Earlier this year, Grant was given the2026 Advocacy in Action Award by theCT Alliance to End Sexual Violence, an organization that advocates for victims of sexual violence.
