A former employee of World Wrestling Entertainment agreed to pause her lawsuit against former boss Vince McMahon at the request of the US Justice Department while the government conducts its own investigation.
Janel Grant sued WWE founder McMahon and another executive, John Laurinaitis, in federal court in Connecticut in January. She alleged that the pair sexually abused her while she worked in the wrestling league’s legal and talent relations departments.
