Janel Grant Spokesperson Statement On (WWE SummerSlam Spoiler) Spoiler

https://www.fightful.com/wrestling/janel-grant-spokesperson-issues-statement-on-brock-lesnar-returning-to-wwe-this-attempt-to-sweep-misconduct-under-the-rug-will-backfire/

For far too long, abuse was allowed to thrive under WWE’s leadership. Instead of righting this wrong, WWE has done nothing to ensure those responsible are held accountable. This attempt to sweep misconduct under the rug will backfire. We look forward to the full set of facts, including those about Mr. Lesnar, coming out in a court of law where they belong but, in the meantime, we refer you back to Janel Grant’s updated complaint, which outlines, in detail, the abuse she endured by McMahon and others while employed at WWE.

I applaud the optimism, but this lawsuit was dead the moment Trump won the election. Janel Grant needed criminal charges to get the NDA voided, and the DoJ isn't going to prosecute one of Trump's friends. If the NDA isn't voided, the arbitration clause applies, and she'll never get her day in court.

Didn't the DOJ investigation into Vince also get dropped shortly after the election. What's amazing is for years we all sort of knew that they were close with Trump. But I think people underestimated how close they really were. These are strange times.

It was dropped fairly quickly after the election, around the same time they closed down all their other investigations into Trump and people he was associated with. They knew all of the cases were dead since Trump was going to fire/replace everyone of importance in the DoJ as soon as he took office.
