If you or someone you know is having a mental health crisis, you can find confidential support services in your country through findahelpline.com.John Pollock and Brandon Thurston are joined by Janel Grant for an exclusive, wide-ranging interview about her life and her reaction to becoming a key figure at the center of the scandal around Vince McMahon in 2022 and beyond.She alleged in harrowing detail in her lawsuit that McMahon sexually abused her, which he denies. But what can hardly be disputed is that she abruptly went from having a private life to becoming a key figure in a high-stakes corporate scandal that made headlines worldwide. And it’s clear that’s a significant part of what occupies the former WWE employee today.Read our written version of this interview: https://www.postwrestling.com/2026/09/22/in-her-own-words-an-exclusive-interview-with-janel-grant/Music courtesy: “Sunn Forest” by ELPHNTPOST WrestlingSubscribe: https://postwrestling.com/subscribePatreon: http://postwrestlingcafe.comForum: https://forum.postwrestling.comDiscord: https://discord.com/invite/Q795HhRTwitter/Facebook/Instagram/YouTube: @POSTwrestlingBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/postwrestling.comWrestlenomicsSubscribe: https://wrestlenomics.com/podcast/Patreon: https://patreon.com/wrestlenomicsSubstack: https://wrestlenomics.substack.com/Twitter/Facebook/Instagram/YouTube: @WrestlenomicsBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/wrestlenomics.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
