Vince McMahon’s Lawyer Responds
A report by PostWrestling has shared an update from McMahon’s legal representative. In her statement, his lawyer Jessica Rosenberg says the development doesn’t change the facts of the case and also pointed out to Laurinaitis’s corroboration. She said:
“Today’s dismissal of John Laurinaitis as a defendant doesn’t alter the facts of this case in any way. Vince McMahon never mistreated Janel Grant,” Rosenberg said in a new statement to POST on Wednesday. “No matter how many press releases her team issues, the truth remains unchanged. As Mr. Laurinaitis’s lawyer previously said: ‘Mr. Laurinaitis corroborates Mr. McMahon in publicly declaring that Ms. Grant’s allegations of sexual abuse and coercion in her Complaint are completely unfounded.’”
The report also says that defendants are most likely to file motions to move the case into private arbitration. Stay tuned to ITR Wrestling for more updates on this developing story.
