In the memorandum opposing motions filed by Vince McMahon and WWE, Grant claims she was under “Vince’s instructions to walk to my new boss’s hotel room (that WWE paid for) to sexually serve myself to him as “breakfast.“

“Weeks later, around the beginning of April (2021), I found myself in such immense emotional and physical pain that I attempted suicide.”

Grant added that after McMahon learned about her suicide attempt, he allegedly still pressed her into performing sexual favours.

“When I told Vince about the failed attempt, and that I was lucky to be alive, he responded with a voice memo telling me what to do: ‘Go knock on Johnny’s (Laurinaitis) door in the morning, Ok I’ll talk to you later I hope. Ok. Bye,’” the statement reads.

“In line with Vince’s instruction, I again walked to Johnny’s hotel room the next morning to serve myself to him as ‘breakfast.’ I was instructed to do this on at least five occasions, and I felt I had no other choice.”

In the court docs, Grant also alleges she was forced to partake in a “violent” threesome with McMahon and Laurinaitis, which caused her to black out.

“In early March 2021, I was forced to participate in another threesome with Vince and Johnny at Vince’s condo, which was so extremely violent that it caused me to black out for the majority of the encounter,” Grant alleges.

‘Corporate liability’

In the filing, Grant also claims she was fired from the company after WWE president Nick Khan and COO Brad Blum determined her to be a “corporate liability” after McMahon had disclosed his relationship with Grant to them.

“Vince then informed me that he had spoken privately with Nick Khan and Brad Blum during which he formally disclosed the sexual nature of his relationship with me,” the court document says. “He said they expressed concern and one questioned whether I could be trusted. Vince told me he provided them with assurances about my loyalty, character, that I would never do something to hurt WWE, and that I ‘would sooner jump off the balcony than hurt anyone.’ He told me that, with these assurances, Nick and Brad were ultimately supportive.

“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.”
