Vince McMahon Trafficking Lawsuit on Hold After Filing of Notice of Appearance

The accusations leveled by Janel Grant against Vince McMahon have significantly tarnished his reputation as a business mogul. Allegations of sex trafficking and sexual abuse have cast a dark shadow over McMahon’s legacy as a pivotal figure in the entertainment industry.

In response to McMahon’s recent memorandum seeking arbitration in the Grant v. WWE et al. case, Grant’s legal team has issued concise but pointed rebuttal.

McMahon’s motion to compel arbitration, which aims to challenge Grant’s allegations of sexual abuse and coercion, prompted swift reaction from Grant’s attorney, Ann Callis. When approached for comment, Callis simply referred to their original filing, indicating their confidence in the thorough presentation of their case.

“For any comment, see our original filing. We’re confident the truth is laid out well there.”

According to Brandon Thurston on Twitter, an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York has filed a notice of appearance in the Grant v. WWE, McMahon, Laurinaitis case. The lawsuit is currently on hold pending a non-public investigation.

Ann Callis, attorney for Janel Grant, provided a new comment regarding the case as well as she stated that Grant has given consent for a stay in her case against Vince McMahon.

“Ms. Grant has consented to a request by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York to stay her case against Mr. McMahon, WWE and Mr. Laurinaitis, pursuant to a pending non-public investigation. We will cooperate with all appropriate next steps.”

In a further twist, WWE has joined McMahon in filing motion to compel arbitration, signaling concerted effort to resolve the dispute privately. McMahon’s focus on repairing his tarnished image in the wake of the lawsuit underscores the gravity of the situation

As previously reported, Federal authorities are investigating the sexual assault and sex trafficking allegations against Vince McMahon and McMahon is said to be assisting the authorities as well. Regardless, we’ll have to see how long the case will remain on hold.
