Janel Grant Alleges Coercion in Vince McMahon Love Letter Incident

Jump to Summary

Amid a legal battle involving allegations of sex trafficking and sexual misconduct, a 'love letter' allegedly written by former WWE employee Janel Grant to Vince McMahon has become a focal point of contention. The letter, dated December 24, 2021, and published by The New York Post, expresses deep affection and regards McMahon as Grant's "best friend, my love and my everything." However, Grant's attorney, Ann Callis, has claimed that the letter was a result of coercion by McMahon.

McMahon's legal counsel, Jessica Taub Rosenberg, has refuted these allegations, asserting that the letter was voluntarily written by Grant and aligns with the nature of their consensual relationship. The email, which was retrieved from Grant's laptop during a WWE board investigation, is alleged to have been written under McMahon's instruction and is being presented in the context of psychological manipulation. The lawsuit has already led to McMahon's resignation from his positions within Total Pro Wrestling (TKO), including Executive Chairman and the Board of Directors. The ongoing case continues to reveal complex layers of the past interactions between Grant and McMahon, as both parties prepare for further legal proceedings.
