John Laurinaitis releases statement on Janel Grant and Vince McMahon lawsuit in todays Wrestling news
John Laurinaitis filed a “statement material facts” in regards to Janel Grant’s suit against him, WWE and Vince McMahon.
Grant agreed two weeks ago to halt her litigation as a result of a request from the US Attorney’s Office pending an investigation that was not made public. On June 8, Laurinaitis’ legal team filed a statement of three facts to support the motion to send Grant’s lawsuit to arbitration. They also claim that Laurinaitis thought he was “released” from any lawsuits brought by Grant because of her NDA with WWE or McMahon.
Laurinaitis’ filing reads:
“I, John Laurinaitis declare under penalty perjury that
follows:
- At all times material to the allegations set forth in the Complaint, I was an employee of World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc.
- As a full-time employee of WWE, it is my understanding that I was listed as a released party from any and all lawsuits or causes of action by Plaintiff Grant.
- Pursuant to the terms of the Confidential Settlement Agreement, General Release, and Covenant Not to Sue (Dkt. 30-2) it is my understanding that the sole and exclusive legal method to resolve any disputes related to the Confidential Settlement Agreement would be in binding arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act.”
Laurinaitis submitted a motion to send the lawsuit to arbitration at the beginning of last month. He had claimed through his lawyers that he too was a victim of McMahon with regards to Grant’s allegations.
“Mr. Laurinaitis, like the Plaintiff, is a victim in this matter, not a predator.” The truth will be revealed,” Laurinaitis’ lawyer said in a February 1 statement.
