A lawyer for former WWE talent relations head John Laurinaitis has claimed that Laurinaitis was a victim of Vince McMahon.
In the lawsuit filed by Janel Grant on January 25, the majority of allegations were targeted at McMahon, but also listed as defendants were WWE and John Laurinaitis.
In a statement to VICE News today (February 1), Laurinaitis’ lawyer, Edward Brennan, stated:
“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 also wrote:
In response to a followup question seeking to clarify that he was indeed saying that McMahon was the predator and that Laurinaitis, like Grant, was a victim, Brennan wrote, “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.”
