Netflix’s new docuseries, “Mr. McMahon”, set to premiere on September 25, was initially reported not to feature an interview with former WWE employee Janel Grant. However, a recent report from POST Wrestling reveals that the filmmakers behind the series did, in fact, try to secure an interview with Grant for the show. Despite multiple attempts to bring her on board, Grant ultimately declined to participate.
Attempts to secure the interview
– The documentary production team made numerous efforts to get Grant to participate in the series.
– She was contacted several times, but ultimately declined the invitation to be interviewed.
Grant’s spokesperson’s response
– According to a spokesperson for Grant, initial contact was made by Netflix’s documentary team to arrange an interview.
– Unfortunately, the interview did not materialize, despite the initial outreach.
Details about the docuseries
– The six-part docuseries was created by Library Films, with executive producer Chris Smith at the helm.
– POST Wrestling reached out to Library Films for comment on the matter but had not received a response at the time of their report.
Grant’s lawsuit against Vince McMahon and WWE
– Grant is currently the plaintiff in an active lawsuit against Vince McMahon, WWE, and John Laurinaitis.
– The lawsuit alleges that Grant was a victim of sexual assault and sex trafficking while working for Vince McMahon.
Status of the lawsuit
– The lawsuit was put on hold in June pending a federal investigation that may involve criminal charges.
– U.S. Attorneys from the Southern District of New York are reportedly involved in the investigation.
Overall, despite the attempts to include Janel Grant in the “Mr. McMahon” docuseries, her decision not to participate has left the series without her input on the ongoing legal battle involving her and WWE.
