Vince McMahon’s Lawyers File Motion Of ‘Material Facts’ In Janel Grant Case

Vince McMahon’s lawyers recently filed a motion with a statement of “material facts” as they attempt to move the Janel Grant lawsuit to arbitration.

As we previously reported here on eWn, Grant filed a lawsuit against Vince McMahon, John Laurinaitis and WWE back in January, accusing McMahon of sex trafficking, rape and more.

Earlier this week, McMahon’s attorneys filed a motion to support their arbitration request.

You can check out the “material facts” listed below:

1. Plaintiff Janel Grant (“Plaintiff”) and McMahon (collectively, the “Parties”) had a three-year relationship which ended in or about January 2022. (Defendant Vincent K. McMahon’s Declaration in Support of His Motion to Compel Arbitration Executed on April 18, 2024 (Dkt. No. 30-2 (“McMahon Decl.”)) ¶ 2.)

2. During their entire relationship, Plaintiff lived in the same luxury apartment building as Defendant. (Plaintiff’s Complaint (Dkt. No. 1 (“Compl.”)1 ¶ 2.)

3. When Plaintiff and Defendant’s relationship ended, they entered into a contract entitled Confidential Settlement Agreement, General Release and Covenant Not to Sue (the “Agreement” or “Agmt.”). (McMahon Decl. ¶ 2 & Ex. 1.)

4. Before the Parties involved their respective attorneys in the negotiation of the Agreement, Plaintiff herself negotiated the monetary compensation that Defendant would pay her under the Agreement from $1,000,000 (the amount initially offered by Defendant) to $3,000,000. (McMahon Decl. ¶ 3; Compl. ¶ 210.)

5. The Parties were represented by counsel in connection with the drafting and negotiation of the Agreement: Jonathan M. Shapiro of Aeton Law Partners LLP for Plaintiff, and Jerry S. McDevitt of K&L Gates for Defendant. (McMahon Decl. ¶ 4.)
