Janel Grant claims in her lawsuit filing that Vince McMahon told her WWE leadership viewed her as a “corporate liability” before she was removed from the legal department.
According to the filing, Grant describes a moment when Vince informed her that company leadership had made a decision about her future role inside WWE. She claims the issue came up while the company was trying to hire a new General Counsel. Grant says Vince told her that leadership believed her presence in the legal department created problems for the company and that she needed to be moved out immediately.
“Vince revealed that he and WWE leadership determined that I was a corporate liability. He then told me that they needed me to leave the legal department immediately as my presence had affected their ability to hire a new General Counsel.”
Grant claims this conversation marked a turning point in her role within WWE, as she says it led directly to her removal from the legal department and reassignment elsewhere. She describes the situation as one of the moments where she realized leadership viewed her as a risk to the company rather than someone who would be protected internally.
These claims are part of Grant’s broader lawsuit involving Vince McMahon and WWE leadership. The allegations have not been ruled on in court, and the legal case is ongoing as more details continue to emerge.
As more information becomes public, attention continues to focus on how leadership decisions were made during this period.
