The Latest On The Janel Grant vs. Vince McMahon Lawsuit
01/13/2025 05:46 PM
A recent motion filed by Janel Grant’s attorneys highlights the shifting circumstances in her ongoing lawsuit against Vince McMahon, WWE, and John Laurinaitis. They emphasized the recent SEC charges against McMahon, which were resolved through a settlement that included a fine and reimbursement to WWE. This settlement and the associated legal developments have now influenced the status of Grant’s case.
Grant’s attorneys pointed out that the United States government had communicated that it would not seek an extension of the stay on the litigation. This means that the investigation into McMahon and the other defendants could proceed without further delays, potentially allowing Grant’s case to move forward.
The attorneys are now seeking guidance from the court on how best to proceed with the litigation, given the new developments. The request for a status conference aims to clarify the next steps and address the legal implications of the ongoing investigations and the settlement reached in McMahon's case.
Grant's attorneys stated,
"Plaintiff still intends to amend her complaint as of right. Though Plaintiff was prepared to on January 15, the recent SEC Consent Order and findings regarding Defendants' nondisclosure agreement with Ms. Grant necessitate additional time for her counsel to assess these developments and incorporate these new (and still-developing) facts into her Amended Complaint. Plaintiff believes that submitting one, comprehensive Amended Complaint after a proper investigation of these developments will promote efficiency and best preserve judicial resources. It is clear that the Court's guidance is needed to reach consensus on a schedule to move this litigation forward. Plaintiff respectfully requests the Court schedule a status conference at its earliest convenience, and enter an order clarifying that no further submissions are due until the Court instructs otherwise."
