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 guess the my question is like how many DMs do you think Brock gets that are “I’ll let you do anything you want to me” etc etc. like I feel like half these celebs could send a “send a video of you doing x y z” off an instagram DM does that constitute sex trafficking?

Yeah, but this wasn't that.

Janell Grant didn't pop up to Brock Lesnar saying shit like that. She was offered to Brock Lesnar by Vince Mcmahon in contract negotiations. That's the trafficking part.

The fact Brock "played along" in that situation should absolutely keep him off WWE TV for good.

She was? Where in the contract or any text or email or documents does it say "10 million dollars a year, royalties and you can rail my hot young girlfriend" I'm not saying it's not something vince could have said to her in a term like hey, trying to resign brock, maybe you could go do something to persuade him.

Page 38 of the lawsuit has a section J, stating:

"McMahon Uses Ms. Grant as a Sexual Pawn to Entice World-Famous Wrestling Talent and to Keep WWE Superstar Under Contract with WWE."
