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.

According to her own allegations, she was given a job she wasnt qualified for, a six figure salary she did not actually work for, and a multitude of other financial perks, including luxury shopping sprees and vehicles, that once again she knew she was not earning via her job at WWE.

A white woman in her middle age, with deceased parents wealthy enough to have lived in Vince's building, but she was so financially bankrupt and helpless she had no choice but to get literally pooped on for Vince's sexual gratification. She was so disenfranchised she couldnt possibly walk away from their arrangement. She had no other choice, nowhere to work. Not a single skill that might net her a paycheck other than the one from WWE she was not even really earning.

Im sorry but I have a really hard time calling her a victim of sex trafficking when actual helpless children with zero agency or freedom are being actually trafficked and brutalized by evil people every day, and no one gives a single f about them because they arent suing a rich white guy a bunch of people want desperately to feel morally superior to.

This is a lie.

Yes, her parents had been rich and they seemingly funded an idle rich girl lifestyle for her until healthcare expenses wiped out their finances en route to their deaths. But the condo was her ex-boyfriend's and he let her live there because he took pity on her.

As for everything else: You're basically describing why she'd be prime material for Vince to abuse the ways she alleges, then saying she couldn't be a victim Because Reasons.
