Janel Grant Accused of Drowning Out Stories of Real Abuse Victims Amid Vince McMahon Lawsuit

TLDR

Former WWE talent Shelly Martinez criticized Janel Grant on the "Too Much Information" podcast on February 23, 2026, following Grant's emotional speech at a Capitol news briefing about her lawsuit against WWE and Vince McMahon. Martinez argued that Grant "chose to have this arrangement with Vince McMahon" and described their relationship as transactional rather than coercive, stating "It was very clear: you get X, Y, and Z, and this is what you have to do for it." Martinez accused Grant of "playing victim" and claimed her lawsuit drowns out stories of "real victims" who "did not consent" and were "taken advantage of against their will."
