Janel Grant has filed a new petition.
Brandon Thruston of Wrestlenomics and John Pollock of POST Wrestling report that lawyers for former WWE employee Janel Grant have filed a pre-action discovery petition today 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.
She claims when she asked Colker about the substance of the pills she was being given, Colker allegedly pushed back and questioned whether Grant trusted him.
In the petition, which was filed in Superior Court in Connecticut, Grant alleges Colker knew about the nondisclosure agreement between Grant and McMahon, which is among the issues at the center of the federal lawsuit. McMahon, WWE and John Laurinaitis have argued that the dispute should move to private arbitration, citing details in the nondisclosure agreement Grant and McMahon signed in January 2022.
According to Grant’s petition, Colker “routinely treats employees and talent of World Wrestling Entertainment."
In January, Grant filed a lawsuit against Vince McMahon, WWE, and John Laurinaitis, alleging sex trafficking and sexual assault. In the lawsuit, Grant alleges that McMahon recruited a physical therapist, whose identity is listed as “Physical Therapist," from an unnamed clinic (referred to as “Alternative Clinic”) to participate in threesomes involving McMahon and Grant. Grant alleges McMahon pressured her into these and other sex acts.
Grant also alleges that a Peak Wellness employee was involved “in several instances of sexual abuse against Ms. Grant by McMahon as further described in Ms. Grant’s federal complaint.”
From Grant's attorney:
On multiple visits, Dr. Colker prescribed Ms. Grant with “adrenal trays” or “adrenal supplement trays,” provided by his office and instructed her to take the unmarked pills daily. Dr. Colker did not explain the substances, dosages, or purpose of the pills to Ms. Grant beyond purportedly addressing her symptoms of fatigue. When Ms. Grant asked Dr. Colker about the substance of the supplement trays, and specifically which substance(s) caused her to experience nausea, he responded with pushback about trust, including, “If you don’t trust me, we have bigger problems.”
In the lawsuit, Grant alleges that McMahon urged her to see a physician who is anonymized in the complaint as “Celebrity Doctor," who was said to operate out of the anonymized “Alternative Clinic."
It has not been confirmed if the individual referred to as “Celebrity Doctor” in the Grant complaint is Colker and if the facility referred to as “Alternative Clinic” is Peak Wellness. Colker has reportedly worked with celebrities and athletes in the past. He also appeared in a 2007 reality show with Shaquille O’Neal, “Shaq’s Big Challenge."
On May 30, Grant agreed to pause the lawsuit for six months while the federal investigation continued against McMahon.
It was reported in February by the Wall Street Journal that McMahon was under federal investigation for sexual assault and sex trafficking. Grant filed her lawsuit against McMahon, WWE, and Laurinaitis on January 25.
