Grant filed a lawsuit against Vince McMahon alleging sexual assault, sex trafficking and sexual misconduct. Grant’s lawsuit includes alleged text messages from McMahon detailing a controlling and abusive relationship.

McMahon was installed as the company’s executive chairman, but was removed when details of the Grant trial became public.

Ms. Grant, who worked for WWE from 2019 to 2022, filed her lawsuit against Mr. McMahon, John Laurinaitis and WWE on January 25. McMahon resigned as executive chairman of TKO Group Holdings, the company created after the corporate merger of WWE and UFC, on Jan. 26, a day after Grant’s lawsuit was filed. Mr McMahon has denied all the allegations. Mr. Laurinaitis, through his lawyer, denied any wrongdoing and said he was also a victim.
