Ann Callis, the lead attorney for Janel Grant in her case
against Vince McMahon, John Laurinaitis, and WWE, reacted to
the news of Vince McMahon’s settlement with the SEC over
unreported NDAs and the over $1.7 million he has to pay back
in total.
“During his time leading WWE, Vince McMahon acted as if
rules did not apply to him, and now we have confirmation
that he repeatedly broke the law to cover up his horrifying
behavior, including human trafficking,” Callis wrote.
“The SEC’s charges prove that the NDA Vince McMahon coerced
Ms. Grant into signing violates the law, and therefore her
case must be heard in court,” she continued.
All plaintiffs in the case are arguing that the case should
be in arbitration due to the NDA which Grant originally
signed rather than in court.
“While prosecutors for the Southern District of New York
continue their criminal investigation, we look forward to
bringing forward new evidence in our civil case about the
sexual exploitation Ms. Grant endured at WWE by Vince
McMahon and John Laurinaitis,” Callis concluded.
