Janel Grant hopes to see an atmosphere of fear keeping WWE employees from speaking out become a thing of the past following the resignation of Vince McMahon.
McMahon stepped down from WWE & TKO this week after Grant filed a lawsuit alleging sexual abuse and trafficking by the former TKO Chairman. While McMahon has insisted on his innocence, he stepped down \”out of respect for the WWE Universe, the extraordinary TKO business and its board members and shareholders, partners and constituents.\”
Janel Grant Gives Statement
WWE\’s Superstars have been encouraged to not address the McMahon scandal publicly, but now Janel Grant has given her thoughts following McMahon\’s resignation. In a statement, Ann Callis, the attorney of Miss Grant, said the following to the Law & Crime Network:
“She hopes any doors of secrecy have been blown off their hinges and that fresh air fills the headquarters. She hopes those at the company, past and present, who fear speaking out about harm, [that it] is a thing of the past. She wishes everyone peace.\
More Victims?
During the interview, Callis was asked if she believes there are other victims and said she believes there could be others out there.
“Whether they worked in the company or not, yes, the belief is there are other victims out there, just the way the grooming of Janel went on, it indicates that. There are a lot of indicators that there may be, and probably are, other victims out there. One of Janel’s hopes is that by coming forward she will give the courage of other victims to come forward too.”
Vince McMahon is gone, and he may not be the last significant departure from WWE and TKO…
