Vince McMahon relinquished his role as CEO and Chairman of WWE in 2022 following reports of hush-money allegations.
Although McMahon remained involved in and influenced the creative process, he departed the company in September after the WWE-UFC merger, when he assumed the role of Executive Chairman of TKO.
The 78-year-old billionaire ultimately resigned from TKO earlier this year following severe allegations made by former WWE employee Janel Grant.
Grant filed a lawsuit against McMahon, John Laurinaitis, and WWE, accusing McMahon of sex trafficking, rape, and more.
The documentary about McMahon’s life and career, “Mr. McMahon,” will premiere on Netflix on Wednesday, September 25.
The docuseries will delve into the various sexual misconduct allegations made against McMahon by several women over the years.
As we previously reported here on eWn, McMahon denounced the upcoming release of the “Mr. McMahon” documentary in his first tweet since April 3, 2023.
Grant’s attorney has now responded to McMahon’s remarks about the “Mr. McMahon” docuseries.
Kendra Barkoff Lamy of SKDK posted the following statement on Twitter:
“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.”
