One big thing: Janel Grant’s lawyer criticizes Netflix docuseries

Ann Callis, attorney for Janel Grant, has issued a scathing statement against Netflix’s “Mr. McMahon” docuseries, claiming it fails to address the full extent of Vince McMahon’s alleged misconduct.

• Grant has accused McMahon of sexual trafficking and assault.
• The six-part series covers McMahon’s career and personal life but has faced criticism for not delving deeply into the allegations.

Key quotes:

• “The Mr. McMahon docuseries makes it clear there is no difference between Vince McMahon’s on-air persona and his true self, they are one and the same,” Callis said.
• “It only scratches the surface of his criminal behavior and it fails to tell the full story of his abuse, sexual assault, and human trafficking of Ms. Grant.”

By the numbers:

• Netflix’s “Mr. McMahon” is a 6-part documentary series.
• Grant’s lawsuit against McMahon was filed in January 2024.

The big picture

As Grant’s case progresses, her attorney remains determined to see McMahon held accountable in court, potentially revealing more details about the allegations.
