As reported last week, John Laurinaitis was dropped as a defendant in the Janel Grant lawsuit against Vince McMahon and WWE and going forward, will assist Grant in her legal battle.
The United States District Court of Connecticut officially dismissed Laurinaitis on 5/30.
The order reads:
Defendant John Laurinaitis is dismissed from this action with prejudice. The court respectfully directs the clerk to terminate Mr. Laurinaitis from the action.
Signed by Judge Sarah F. Russell
Grant's lawsuit against McMahon and WWE alleges “that McMahon lured her with promises of career advancement, and then he allegedly exploited her and trafficked her to other men inside the company.” Grant signed a nondisclosure agreement in 2022 with McMahon, agreeing to a payment of $3 million to not publicly disparage him or to discuss their relationship. She alleges in the suit that he stopped making payments after $1 million, one third of the agreement, was received. Her lawsuit is seeking to void the NDA and additional financial damages. McMahon and WWE are currrently attempting to move the lawsuit to arbitration.
