On Thursday, Janel Grant, a former World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) employee, filed a complaint against WWE cofounder and parent company TKO Group Holdings executive chairman Vince McMahon as well as former head of talent relations at WWE John Laurinaitis. The sixty-seven-page court document details a yearslong abusive relationship between McMahon and Grant, wherein McMahon stands accused of repeated instances of sexual assault and sex trafficking. There is no mistaking the disturbing parallels between McMahon and his close friend Donald Trump, who at the moment is caught up in myriad court cases, some of which also include charges of sexual assault and hush-money payments.

The details of the complaint against McMahon are difficult to stomach. Grant describes how between 2019 and 2022 McMahon preyed on her financial instability and her grief over her recently deceased family and coerced her into a sexual relationship in exchange for a salaried position at WWE and the promise of an eventual vice president position in talent relations.

Before offering Grant a job, McMahon repeatedly made clear his sexual interest in her, insinuating that Grant’s position within the company would be contingent upon satisfying him. Thereafter, McMahon provided her with a $75,000 newly created position as a “legal administrator-coordinator” with hardly any work involved compared to her overworked counterparts.
