Lawyer explains why Vince McMahon’s accuser refused to appear in Netflix doc

As a fan who has followed Vince McMahon’s journey from the Attitude Era to his recent controversies, I must say that the new Netflix documentary, Mr. McMahon, is an intriguing watch. However, it seems to be missing a crucial piece of the puzzle – the perspective of Janel Grant, who has accused McMahon of sexual trafficking and assault.


In the Netflix documentary about Vince McMahon, it’s worth noting that the individual who has accused him of sexual trafficking and assault, Janel Grant, does not make an appearance. The reason for this omission has recently been revealed.

This six-part documentary delves into the story of the main character, the former WWE head, tracing his journey from his early days with Hulk Hogan (including Richard Belzer’s lawsuit) and the Attitude Era, up to the controversies that led to his resignation from the company in 2022.

Prior to its airing on Netflix, McMahon issued a statement labeling it as misleading and alleging that the producers manipulated the content by employing “editing techniques with clips taken out of context and outdated soundbites to distort audience’s viewpoint and bolster a deceptive storyline.

This show includes chats with Stephanie McMahon, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, John Cena, and other prominent wrestling personalities. These discussions took place prior to any allegations coming to light, and Grant is conspicuously absent from them.

Attorney Ann Callis, representing Grant, issued a statement regarding the documentary, stating that it merely provides a glimpse into the reported actions of McMahon, while also clarifying the reasons behind Grant’s non-appearance.

The docuseries about Mr. McMahon shows that there’s no distinction between his on-screen character and his real personality – they are essentially identical, according to her.

The true nature of Vince McMahon, marked by instances of aggressive outbursts, inappropriate behavior, and manipulation, aligns with what Janel Grant encountered for years while working privately at the WWE.

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but feel disheartened by the docuseries that showcased McMahon’s relentless pursuit of power and control. However, it leaves much to be desired in terms of revealing the depth of his criminal actions. It barely touches upon the harrowing accounts of abuse, sexual assault, and human trafficking that he allegedly perpetrated against Ms. Grant. The story remains incomplete without a comprehensive exploration of these grave offenses.

It’s only fair that she gets the chance to narrate her experience whenever she’s ready, using her preferred method. We eagerly anticipate her court date, hoping it will be the moment when McMahon finally faces the consequences of his actions.

In Grant’s legal action, she claimed she experienced both physical and psychological mistreatment, sexual violence, and trafficking within the WWE. Instead of focusing solely on her own pain, Ms. Grant is filing this lawsuit to advocate for others who may be too scared to come forward as well.
