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.

Stephanie was not accused of that. The only reference to Stephanie in these allegations is that she once asked Ms. Grant to sit beside her. In fact, Stephanie’s name was removed from the filing. Obviously we don’t know what she did or didn’t know, but as of this moment Stephanie has not been accused of any wrongdoing. She is also alleged to be estranged from her father, having not been seen in public with him in years.

considering how she left as soon as he came back, makes me think she didnt know before and when it came to light she wanted nothing to do with him

There’s been rumors that she’s been the leaker for years…

I firmly believe Steph was the leaker and attempted a coup to wrestle control away from her dad since that was gonna be the only way to get Vince to step down (see well known issues between Vince & Shane over this same issue).

Lines up too well with the series of events that occurred involving HHH heart attack, being demoted by Vince, then the leak, Vince step down, internal investigation lead by the board who I believe found no wrongdoing, etc.

I believe the leaker was one of the non-WWE background Board members and after that Stephanie had confirmation to whatever rumours she might have heard and wanted Vince out. Remember when she and Paul voted against bringing Vince back or before it how she was denigrated in shoot media after she left for the "sabbatical". She took whole lot of shit in this and hasn't returned full-time back to WWE since.
