One WWE Hall of Famer has nothing kind to say about former Executive Vice President of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis.
On January 25th, Wall Street Journal reported that former WWE employee Janel Grant had filed a new lawsuit against Vince McMahon. The lawsuit contains horrifying allegations and graphic descriptions of sexual assault, emotional abuse, and sex trafficking at the hands of McMahon and former Executive Vice President of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis.
The suit is seeking to void a previous NDA and for an unspecified amount of financial damages. This is the latest in allegations about McMahon that began back in 2022 when it was reported that the WWE Chairman paid $12 million in hush money to four women.
John Laurinaitis was released from WWE in 2022 amidst the investigation into alleged misconduct. Former WWE star Rene Dupree claimed at the time the allegations published against Laurinaitis were just the “tip of the iceberg.”
Laurinaitis has since claimed that he’s also a victim of Vince McMahon, who resigned from all duties with WWE and TKO on January 26th.
WWE Hall Of Famer Teddy Long Accused John Laurinaitis of Racism
In her upcoming autobiography, Ronda Rousey blasted John Laurinaitis as an “all-around dirtbag.” When asked about Rousey’s comments on an episode of Sportskeeda Wrestlebinge, WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long didn’t hold back on his true feelings about the disgraced former EVP.
“I don’t hold my tongue back on John Laurinaitis. One of the worst pieces of sh*t on this planet, and you can do what you want to to me, you can sue me all you want to, ain’t nothing you’re gonna get except ‘holla, holla, holla.’ He is a man who is going to stop me from making a living because of the color of my skin — not because I’m not doing my job. So, you’re gonna tell me that I did my job, the face of that TV for nine years and you’re gonna … you know what I’m saying? Lemme stop.”
