Vince McMahon Dismissed As Delusional After Documentary Claims

The attorney for Janel Grant has issued a scathing response to Vince McMahon’s statement regarding his eagerly anticipated Netflix documentary.

The long-awaited six-part Netflix docuseries about the life of former WWE Chairman & CEO Vince McMahon will premiere on Wednesday, September 25th.

All eyes are sure to be on the documentary as McMahon is currently battling a lawsuit filed against him by a former WWE employee. Vince McMahon is accused of sexual assault and sex trafficking in the suit but he denies the allegations made against him while claiming his accuser, Janel Grant, was someone he simply had an affair with.

It was uncertain how deep the documentary would be able to dive into the claims made in the lawsuit but it seems Vince McMahon thinks it goes too far.

McMahon released a statement where he panned the makers of the documentary, calling it “misleading” while urging viewers to keep an open mind:

I don’t regret participating in this Netflix documentary. The producers had an opportunity to tell an objective story about my life and the incredible business I built, which were equally filled with excitement, drama, fun, and a fair amount of controversy and life lessons. Unfortunately, based on an early partial cut I’ve seen, this doc falls short and takes the predictable path of conflating the “Mr. McMahon” character with my true self, Vince. The title and promos alone make that evident.

A lot has been misrepresented or left out entirely in an effort to leave viewers intentionally confused. The producers use typical editing tricks with out of context footage and dated soundbites etc. to distort the viewers’ perception and support a deceptive narrative.

In an attempt to further their misleading account, the producers use a lawsuit based on an affair I ended as evidence that I am, in fact, “Mr. McMahon”.

I hope the viewer will keep an open mind and remember that there are two sides to every story.

Vince McMahon In “Attempt To Save Shredded Reputation”

Now Janel Grant’s attorney Ann Callis has responded to Vince McMahon’s statement calling his claims “delusional” and reaffirming her position that McMahon as well as John Laurinaitis and WWE should be held accountable in court:

Vince McMahon physically and emotionally abused, sexually assaulted and human trafficked Janel Grant for more than two years. Calling his horrific and criminal behavior “an affair” is delusional and nothing more than a sad attempt to save his shredded reputation. Although Ms. Grant has not seen the “Mr. McMahon” docuseries, we hope it shines a bright light on his abhorrent and criminal actions by accurately portraying the realities of his abusive and exploitative behavior. Ms. Grant will no longer be silenced by McMahon.

Her story, though deeply troubling and exceptionally painful, is one that can help other abuse survivors find their voices. We seek to hold McMahon, John Laurinaitis and WWE accountable and to give Ms. Grant her day in court.

The lawsuit has been on hold since the end of May as Janel Grant agreed to the pause to allow a federal investigation into Vince McMahon to take place.
