A former WWE employee who is suing the company and its former CEO, Vince McMahon, made new and graphic allegations in a filing in the U.S. District Court of Connecticut earlier this week.

Janel Grant, who filed her initial lawsuit against WWE, McMahon and former executive John Laurinaitis, detailed more claims about how she was allegedly recruited to work for WWE, the alleged “abuse” she received while WWE leaders allegedly did nothing and other assertions.

Laurinaitis was previously removed from the lawsuit.

Fox News Digital reached out to McMahon’s lawyer and WWE for comment.

Grant, who worked at WWE from June 2019 to 2022, alleged that she was “subjected to repeated physical and emotional abuse, sexual assault, and sexual trafficking perpetrated” by McMahon and “most senior officials and talent, knew about and facilitated the abuse” she experienced.

“Instead of protecting Ms. Grant, WWE and McMahon conspired to use his coercive control over her to conceal its leaders’ wrongdoing and bar Ms. Grant from speaking out or seeking help,” the lawsuit read.

Grant made allegations of having “violent” sexual encounters with McMahon and others.

“Throughout the three years, sex was violent, invasive, degrading, and produced injuries that could not heal because there would consistently be subsequent violent encounters, often involving other men or objects,” the lawsuit read. “Ms. Grant did not raise a complaint concerning her abuse because she lived in a state of duress and was fully under McMahon’s control, her survival ultimately depending on her complete submission to McMahon.”

Grant claimed in the lawsuit that McMahon pressured her to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) and that he allegedly sexually assaulted after she signed the document.

The sordid allegations are a part of an ongoing lawsuit between the parties.

McMahon stepped down as the CEO of WWE in 2022, and stepped down from TKO in 2024 after the initial lawsuit was filed. He has maintained his innocence through the process.

“The Complaint’s outrageous claims of sexual abuse and coercion are pure fiction—plainly intended to garner publicity—and are flatly contradicted by Plaintiff’s own contemporaneous statements,” McMahon said in an April 2024 filing. “Contrary to Plaintiff’s false allegations, Plaintiff and Defendant (collectively, the ‘Parties’) engaged in a consensual relationship during which Defendant never coerced Plaintiff into doing anything and never mistreated her in any way.

“In fact, in a love letter Plaintiff wrote to Defendant shortly before the Parties ended their relationship, Plaintiff described Defendant as ‘[m]y best friend, my love and my everything,’ praising him for being the ‘wonderful, tender, vulnerable, heart-on-your-sleeve soul you really are.’ It is incredulous that Plaintiff, a then 42-year-old woman who claims on her resume to have a law degree from Pace University, would have written these words to Defendant months after all the events in the Complaint of alleged abuse, coercion, and ‘sex-trafficking’ took place.”

TKO Group told The Associated Press in January 2024 it took Grant’s allegations “very seriously.”

“Mr. McMahon does not control TKO nor does he oversee the day-to-day operations of WWE,” the company said at the time. “While this matter pre-dates our TKO executive team’s tenure at the company, we take Ms. Grant’s horrific allegations very seriously and are addressing this matter internally.”

More than a dozen people have been taken to the hospital after a vehicle struck multiple parade participants celebrating the Lao New Year on Saturday in New Iberia, Louisiana.

The Iberia Parish Sheriff’s Office said the crash happened at a rural intersection and multiple people were injured.

Acadian Ambulance, a local ambulance service, reported it took 11 patients to the hospital by ambulance and two patients by medical helicopter.

The sheriff’s office said some of the injuries are believed to be serious.

Video shared on social media appeared to show multiple people on the ground, as firefighters attempted to rescue a person trapped underneath the vehicle in a ditch.

Ten ambulances and two helicopters responded to the scene, according to Acadian.

Deputies confirmed the driver, who has not yet been publicly identified, is in custody.

Based on the preliminary investigation, officials said the wreck “does not appear to be an intentional act.”

It is unclear what led to the incident.

New Iberia is a small Cajun town located in southern Louisiana, about 30 minutes away from Lafayette.

Archaeologists have uncovered a 2,100-year-old sling bullet in Israel — inscribed with a sarcastic message aimed at enemy forces.

The scientists found the bullet in a necropolis area along an ancient road at Hippos, once a prominent bishop’s seat during the Byzantine era. The city was known as Susita during the Hellenistic period, which lasted from 323 B.C. to about 31 B.C.

The projectile, which officials date to the second century B.C., was carved with the Greek word, “Learn,” according to a press release obtained by Fox News Digital.

A picture of the ancient, oval-shaped lead sling bullet shows faint traces of the Greek script.

Michael Eisenberg, Ph.D., a University of Haifa archaeologist who recently published his findings in the journal PEQ, along with colleague Arleta Kowalewska, believes the phrase was a sarcastic taunt.

“At Hippos alone, 69 such projectiles have been identified so far, but this is the first in the world to bear the inscription ‘Learn,'” said Eisenberg, per the March release.

“This represents local sarcastic humor on the part of the city’s defenders, who wished to teach their enemies a lesson with a wink: ‘Learn your lesson!’”

The artifact is roughly 3.2 centimeters long and 1.95 centimeters wide, weighing 38 grams.

Excavators observed signs of impact damage on the projectile and believe it once weighed 45 grams.

The projectile was likely “fired by the city’s defenders from the city walls toward the enemy advancing to besiege the city,” officials said.

Lead bullets were considered a cheap but lethal form of ammunition at the time.

“Sling bullets were produced by casting lead in stone molds in a relatively simple process that could be carried out even during a military campaign,” the release noted.

Officials said that “many projectiles were decorated with the name of a military commander, the name of a city, sarcastic humor similar to ‘Catch!’ or symbols intended to imbue them with power, such as a trident, lightning bolt or scorpion.”

The artifact represents an unusual and unprecedented find, said Eisenberg.

“To find a sling bullet with an inscription is very rare; to find this Greek word on a sling bullet is the first time in the world,” Eisenberg told Fox News Digital.

“We know of similar mocking or sarcastic humor directed at the enemy, but this specific example was unknown and reveals the humorous local trend among the Hellenistic defenders of Hippos.”

He also noted the significance of where it was found — which strongly suggests it was fired during a siege. 

“The bullet’s location near the ancient main road below the city’s fortifications, in addition to the impact mark on the bullet, supplies a colorful reconstruction of the defenders shooting the bullet toward the besieging forces advancing towards the city,” said Eisenberg.

The discovery adds to a growing list of major archaeological finds at Hippos.

Excavations unearthed a 1,600-year-old Christian care facility for the elderly at Hippos last year, possibly the world’s oldest nursing home.

Also at Hippos, archaeologists found a trove of ancient jewelry and gold coins last year, thanks to metal detectors.
