Janel Grant Claims She Was Told Not To Speak To WWE Risk Executive Who Retired Months Before Vince McMahon Lawsuit

TLDR

According to court filings in Janel Grant's lawsuit against Vince McMahon and WWE, Grant claims she was specifically warned not to speak to Rich Hering, WWE's former senior vice president of government relations and risk management, when she was moved out of the company's legal department. Grant states she was told not to discuss the situation outside a small group and "especially not Rich [Hering]," which she believed was to prevent the legal department from being alerted to what was happening behind the scenes. Hering retired from WWE in October 2023, just months before Grant's lawsuit was filed in January 2024.
