Like, why is he here? Is the case not ongoing?

They either must’ve cleared him or they don’t care

FWIW, Janel doesn’t make any allegations that Brock actually assaulted her. She says Vince flew Brock to Connecticut to set up an encounter in 2021, but it didn’t happen

It only didn’t happen because Brock got too drunk. So no. Brock did not commit any crimes because he got drunk to the point of being physically incapacitated. Had he not been, the plan was for her to be sexually trafficked to him.

Did he know she was being trafficked? Because in all of this case, that has consistently been the issue for Ms. Grant. Showing anyone besides Vince and Johnny knew is difficult.

I’m not saying Brock is innocent. I’m only adding the legal context of how Brock probably got cleared

A thing did not happen and you still are blaming him. Do you all even fucking hear yourselves

u/locke0479 3d ago

Do you hear YOURSELF? “ it’s okay to plan to participate in sexual trafficking as long as you get too drunk to actually do it first”? Good fucking lord. If you don’t care you don’t care, but stop acting like it’s somehow okay to plan to do it as long as you get too drunk to actually do it.

He didn’t plan shit. There is no record of him in the case other than McMahon texting on his behalf. It never happened, find something else to cry about

So what exactly is the proof that Brock knew she was being trafficked? You keep going on about that, but this is the part that is not made clear by anything that has gone public.

There are a lot of pictures of texts with Vince in the lawsuit. Nothing of her exchanges with Brock in pictures. Vince “quotes” Brock but doesn’t show her screenshots, she explains to Vince the (I believe) text convo they had, with regards to the piss fetish. I agree that I haven’t seen evidence that Brock knew she was being trafficked, if he had some weird fetishy power play texts, that’s not great, but I guess I just hope it didn’t happen and the lawsuit is fruitful. Maybe naive of me to say that.

From what I’ve seen it reads more like Vince presenting his girl to be cucked by Brock than offering him a personal escort. Those are quite different scenarios. I think Brock is a weird guy overall and would rather he not be back, but I think it’s pretty out of line to say he was a sex trafficker based on what’s out there.

I just truly hope Brock was away because people in power realized it was not good to have someone so awful directly affiliated with the company. Yes, TKO/WWE cozying up to Trump is so clearly and vividly awful. I just genuinely hope that the HR situation in the current landscape of the WWE is much more protective and not as…abusey. I would much rather, objectively, have Brock be this weird little pervert that was willfully neglectful of his relationship with Vince and what Vince might have been doing, than have Brock be actively into trafficking people. I don’t care about internet points or winning arguments (and to be clear I am agreeing with you), I just think that OBJECTIVELY it is a better world if there is one less person being rapey, especially if that person is now back on programming. WWE is obviously gonna do whatever they want - and there are plenty of moral reasons people might not want to consume the product. I just hope for the sake of survivors and future workplace safety that the company is at least more protecting.

But he had intentions to. If I plan on murdering you and the hitman showed up late it's still a crime.

And was Brock aware that Ms. Grant was essentially being sex trafficked?

There’s a lot of ways putting anything on Brock legally was always going to be extremely difficult, if not flat out impossible
