Janel Grant has dismissed her legal claims against John Laurinaitis. The move came after the former WWE executive agreed to provide evidence in support of Grant’s lawsuit against McMahon and WWE. The case was dismissed with prejudice, meaning Grant is not allowed to revisit her claims against Laurinaitis. Both parties have agreed to cover their own legal expenses.
“John Laurinaitis has agreed to cooperate and provide evidence in Janel Grant’s lawsuit against Vince McMahon and WWE,” Grant’s representatives said in a statement given to PostWrestling.com. “His agreement to a confidential settlement is a pivotal next step toward holding McMahon and WWE accountable and bringing justice to Ms. Grant after years of sexual abuse and trafficking. Mr. Laurinaitis looks forward to moving on with his life. We cannot provide any additional details at this time.”
Powell’s POV: Let the record show that Laurinaitis went from initially being framed by his attorney as a victim of Vince McMahon, to later having his attorney state that Grant’s allegations are unfounded, to now cooperating with Grant. Wow.
It’s the closest to an admission of guilt we’re going to get. Him helping her will make her quite rich as she deserves
Even more ridiculous are the self-righteous hypocrites that act appalled by actions of Vince, while they pretend to have not known about the sexual assault allegations, including rape, that were leveled against Vince all the time they were watching his programming and putting money into his pocket.
I also laugh at the female “victims” who are “emotionally damaged” yet seem to be able to get over it once he paid millions in hush money.
Now do his buddy, the guy you voted for, you self-righteous hypocrite.
