John Laurinaitis’ attorney, Edward Brennan, issued a statement to VICE News about the allegations made against him and Vince McMahon in the lawsuit filed by former WWE employee Janel Grant. The statement reads as follows,
“Mr. Laurinaitis denies the allegations in the misguided complaint and will be vigorously defending these charges in Court, not the media. Like the Plaintiff, Mr. Laurinaitis is a victim in this case, not a predator. The truth will come out.”
VICE received clarification regarding the statement, which emphasizes that Laurinaitis claims to be a victim of McMahon and points to instances where McMahon exerts power and control over both individuals.
