Linda discovered that something was going on between the girl and her husband, and it led to changes in Vincent’s behavior towards Janel. According to reports, Mr. McMahon started distancing himself from Grant in January 2022, but after not talking to her due to the fear of his wife, the former WWE CEO talked with the former employee on January 9.

During that conversation, Vince told Grant that his wife had learned about their relationship, and if he didn’t stop, she might divorce her. In fact, he pointed out that if a divorce happens, it will also tarnish Janel’s reputation, which was surely not what she wanted to happen.
To make sure that everything remains away from the limelight, the WWE veteran instructed her to lessen her involvement in open work items. In addition to this, he ensured that he’ll pay attention to the fact that Janel’s reputation remains intact, and help her in finding a new job.
Vince McMahon offered Janel Grant $3,000,000 to sign an NDA
As Vince McMahon wanted to keep his marriage safe and stay away from public negativity, he didn’t just instruct her to stay silent but also gave her money. In fact, Mr. McMahon offered Janel Grant $3,000,000 to sign an NDA, so that she never speaks up for the s*x trafficking she went through in the organization.
Moreover, the former WWE CEO also suggested that she give a health-related excuse to anyone asking about her hiatus from the promotion. As per the lawsuit, after discussing the NDA, Vincent again took the youngster to his room for another s**ual encounter. In fact, he continued to send s**ual texts to Janel despite signing an agreement.
Why did Janel Grant break the NDA?
With the revelation that Vince and Janel had signed an NDA, a lot of people are uncertain about why Janel broke it. So, to answer all such questions, the female figure filed the lawsuit because Mr. McMahon didn’t pay her the entire money he promised her in the agreement.

According to the reports, after signing the NDA, Vincent paid her $1 million in February 2022, but then never paid the rest of the money. After he stopped making the payments, Janel eventually filed a s*x trafficking lawsuit against him on January 25, 2024. Ever since this matter came into the limelight, it has been the biggest topic of discussion.
People have been sharing different speculations about the allegations, and as a result of this saga, Vincent has officially resigned from TKO. The 78-year-old has also denied all these accusations in a recent statement. But, who’ll be proven guilty is what everyone is looking forward to from the wrestling industry.
