Current Events > John Laurinaitis flips. Now says Vince McMahon is innocent and Grant is lying.

(+) Yeah! (+)

The legal counsel for John Laurinaitis issued an announcement on a motion filed by Laurinaitis in the ongoing civil lawsuit by former WWE employee Janel Grant against Vince McMahon, Laurinaitis, and WWE. As previously reported, Grant named Vince McMahon, John Laurinaitis, and WWE as defendants in a civil lawsuit, accusing McMahon and Laurinaitis of sexual assault and sex trafficking.

According to the statement from Laurinaitis attorney, Edward M. Brennan, Laurinaitis filed a motion today fulling joining in and adopting Vince McMahons motion to compel arbitration. Additionally, the statement reads that Laurinaitis corroborates Mr. McMahon in publicly declaring Grants allegations are completely unfounded.

John Laurinaitis has filed a Motion today fully joining in and adopting Vince McMahons motion to compel arbitration. Mr. Laurinaitis corroborates Mr. McMahon in publicly declaring that Ms. Grants allegations of sexual abuse and coercion in her Complaint are completely unfounded. My client will fight these false allegations together with Mr. McMahon in the proper forum, arbitration.

This is a sharp change in legal strategies by Laurinaitis camp. Its different from the stance Brennan and Laurinaitis took earlier this year. Brennan told VICE News, Like the plaintiff [Janel Grant], Mr. Laurinaitis is a victim in this case, not a predator. Brennan issued multiple statements maintaining that Laurinaitis was, like Grant, a victim of McMahon as a sexual predator.

When later asked for clarification by VICE that Brennan was referring to McMahon as a predator and that Laurinaitis was being victimized by McMahon, Brennan wrote in response, Read the allegations. Read the Federal Statute. Power, control, employment supervisory capacity, dictatorial sexual demands with repercussions if not met. Count how many times in the complaint Vince exerts control over both of them.
Jessica Rosenberg, legal counsel to former WWE and TKO Chairman Vince McMahon, later issued the following statement to 411Mania on todays court filing by Laurinaitis:

In January 2024, Ms. Grant, a 43-year-old with a law degree, who was in love with Mr. McMahon and devastated by their break-up, filed an outrageous and false lawsuit to ruin Mr. McMahons career and reputation. Now, her false allegations are slowly unraveling. Today, Mr. Laurinaitis attorney confirmed his client will corroborate Mr. McMahons account and expose the lies within the Complaint. Despite their intense efforts, Ms. Grants attorneys wont be able to suppress the truth from coming out.

Did.... Did his lawyers just not realize arbitration instead of court was a possibilty until Vince mentioned it?

Johnny: "I was a victim too! We both were sexually abused by Vince! He was my boss, I couldn't say no."

Vince: "I want arbitration."

Johnny: "Vince is innocent! Together we will flight these false claims of sexual abuse and coercion! Theyr'e lies!"

So if this doesn't go to arbitration and does go to court, will Johnny flip again?

It's wild to throw a dude under the bus and then side with them

Johnny Ace is a dumbass
