Dr. Colker is filing for discovery.
Brandon Thurston at Wrestlenomics and John Pollock of POSTWrestling report that Dr. Carlon Colker has filed for discovery against Janel Grant.
On July 16th, lawyers for former WWE employee Janel Grant filed a pre-action discovery petition against Dr. Carlon Colker and his clinic, Peak Wellness, Inc. Grant claims that she was sent to the clinic under the direction of Vince McMahon in November 2019 and received treatments that weren't disclosed to her, including pills and I.V. infusions.
Colker is denying any improper treatment and citing numerous damages to his name and reputation from the accusations. The complaint labeled Grant’s actions as a “smear campaign” designed to “bolster her well-publicized allegations concerning alleged sex trafficking and sexual assault by World Wrestling Entertainment, Vince McMahon, and John Laurinaitis”
Colker states in the filing that he “always advised and consulted in advance with Grant concerning any specific medications she was prescribed. Grant baselessly accuses Plaintiffs of failing to provide her with a Private Policy and itemization of any bills, despite the undisputable documented evidence to the contrary, including that Grant expressly signed and acknowledged receipt of Plaintiffs’ privacy policy, which are in Grant’s possession along with the entirety of her electronic medical record and metadata.”
In a response to Colker & Peak Wellness’ bill of discovery being filed, Grant’s attorney Ann Callis of Holland Law provided the following statement to POST Wrestling and Wrestlenomics:
The court sided with Janel and against McMahon in confirming she was within her right to seek her own medical records and data from Dr. Carlon Colker of Peak Wellness. It is perplexing, but on brand to file an attack against a woman formerly in his care.
McMahon filed a motion to enforce the court-ordered stay to prevent Grant from petitioning for the records. According to McMahon, Grant violated the federal stay order by seeking discovery against Dr. Colker and Peak Wellness. His motion was denied on August 6th.
On May 30, Grant agreed to pause the lawsuit for six months while the federal investigation continued against McMahon.
Fightful will continue to update fans on the lawsuit as more is known.
