On October 29, PWInsider reported that Vince McMahon was working on setting up a new "entertainment hub company," that could launch if and when McMahon is out of legal trouble stemming from a lawsuit filed by former employee Janel Grant.
Grant filed a lawsuit against McMahon, WWE, and John Laurainitis in January, claiming sexual assault and sex trafficking. The lawsuit is currently on pause as McMahon is being investigated by the federal government.
Grant's team issued the following statement on the reports of McMahon possibly starting a new company:
"Both on and off the camera, Vince McMahon has built a reputation for his violent outbursts, sexual deviance, manipulation, and abuse. No one who cares about survivors and justice should want to work for or with any company of McMahon's. He needs to be held accountable for the heinous acts
he committed against Janel Grant and others at WWE."
