Janel Grant, Former WWE Employee and Sexual Assault Survivor, Brings on PR Firm SKDK Ahead of Vince McMahon Netflix Docuseries Premiere
SKDK has previously worked with the survivors of Harvey Weinstein, Marilyn Manson, Jeffrey Epstein and the former employees of the Washington Commanders
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Attorneys for Janel Grant, the former WWE employee and sexual assault survivor who has filed a lawsuit against former WWE CEO Vince McMahon, John Laurinaitis, and the WWE organization, has retained the services of SKDK’s Kendra Barkoff Lamy ahead of the Sept. 25th premiere of Netflix’s “Mr. McMahon” docuseries.
Barkoff Lamy and SKDK have previously represented the survivors of Harvey Weinstein, Marilyn Manson, Jeffrey Epstein and more. They also supported the former employees of the Washington Commanders in their lawsuit against then-owner Dan Snyder, which led to the sale of the team. Grant continues to retain the services of The Agency Group. Below is a statement from Barkoff Lamy:
*Janel Grant is a survivor of incomprehensible abuse, sexual assault, and human trafficking at the hands of Vince McMahon, John Laurinaitis, and WWE. She has courageously come forward to seek justice for herself and other survivors, and we are honored to support her in sharing her story. It takes immense strength to speak out against Goliaths and we encourage all survivors of sexual harassment, assault and human trafficking to seek the support they need.”
Ann Callis, attorney for Janel Grant, also issued the following statement:
“SKDK has a proven track record of uplifting survivors of sexual violence and human trafficking. We look forward to our partnership in seeking justice on behalf of our client Janel Grant.”
SKDK is a political consulting PR firm that has worked almost exclusively with the democrats. They marketed themselves as “Team Biden” in 2020, and were given a no bid contract in secret that was supposed to go to California’s counties for election education campaign. They also run legal PR clean up operations to distract from those financially linked to the democrats, such as Jeffery Epstein and Harvey Weinstein.
Now why is this democrat aligned firm involving itself with Grant? Could it be because the McMahons are strong supporters of President Trump? This is just the continuation of lawfare attacks targeting those loyal to Trump, and are a threat to the evil bureaucracy blob running rampant in the District of Colombia. As an old saying goes, even blind Freddie can see what’s going on.
Now knowing the despicable political forces working to undermine the justice system, as shown time and time again in the last several years involved in this case, I hope Vince McMahon is successful with these accusations, and is able to exact financial compensation from all involved.
@DB
Or could it be that you’re the only one with a political agenda here and that they’re just your traditional legal leeches trying to get as much deserved or undeserved money as possible because stupid people have allowed the world to turn into one where this is possible and they want to take advantage of it? Could it be just that simple?
Could it also be that you’d never defend McMahon if he was on the other side of the political fence?
Our great country will defeat those phony, scorned democrats and wipe them out once president Trump wins the election. This b*tch will get what’s coming to her and Mr. McMahon will surely make his triumphant return to make WWE great again.
Once again, those with TDS will attack the man and not the post, and divert attention to the substance within. There is an abundance of examples of SKDK’s actions on behalf of democrats, many of which they admit to, yet the usual crowd will throw stones from their glass houses in a feeble attempt to protect their rotten ilk.
@DB
I’m a Trump supporter and I truly don’t believe this has anything to do with Trump or the fact that McMahon is a supporter or Trump. Sure SKDK has worked exclusively with Democrats and one of the founding members is Anita Dunn who was an advisor to Joe Biden. But even with that, I don’t think that has anything to do with Trump. Why would it? What would there be to gain by going after McMahon simply because he has a connection to Trump?
Personally, I think that the fact that she had to hire a PR firm like SKDK tells me that something might not be right with her story. You don’t have to spin the truth. Also, when it comes to SKDK they at one time not only coached someone who was being accused of something but they also at the same time assisted the alleged victim who was accusing man they were coaching.
@DB
Hey, I’m open to being proven an idiot, even by a coward who refuses to address something directly. Can’t grow without constructive criticism. So could you (or anyone else, Joseph perhaps?) please pinpoint exactly where I attacked Trump? Or even mentioned him? Or showed any sign of what you call TDS? Or attacked anything other than the post and the poster (that would be you)? Or made any attempts to “protect my rotten ilk” (including clarifying who exactly my rotten ilk are)?
Because otherwise I’ll just have to assume that DB stands for Dumbass. That’d make sense, someone completely devoid of reading comprehension qualifies as a dumbass. Right?
If you think that Trump winning the election is going to destroy democracy and end the world as we know it because that’s what Democrats are pushing, you probably have TDS. If you think that anything done against someone who supports Trump is done because that person supports Trump, you probably have TDS.
@Joseph The SKDK move against Vince will enable the democrats to use it as dirt against Linda McMahon. Linda is a major fundraiser for Trump. Just like in warfare, lawfare can be used to attack support networks to the front lines. I’ve seen some dirty politics in my time, both from the left and right, which probably gives me a bit of insight into these PR strategies. I may be wrong, but joining the dots will create a more visible picture.
@DB
I don’t think this has anything to do with trump, his campaign, or the fact that Linda is a supporter of his and has raised or has donated money to his campaign. Other people have donated a lot more than the McMahon’s have to Donald Trump’s campaign. Why not go after them if you want to cut off Trump’s support? I think the reason they jumped on this is because of the publicity and people who don’t care about the facts of a case will see them as being on the side of an innocent little victim. It’s a PR move to make SKDK look like they care.
@Joseph In the dirty world of politics, any weakness of an enemy, or their allies, is to be exploited. The higher the public profile of the target in question, the wider the reporting via media and social media. That is just the way it is unfortunately.
@DB
I agree with you. The world of politics is a dirty game, but in this case, I think you’re making Linda McMahon to be more important than she actually is. Maybe I’m wrong here, but you seem to think that by going after Vince, they can use that dirt against Linda in some political attack on Trump.
@Joseph It’s all about showing the company you keep, and using that narrative to convince voters that your opponent is less than desirable.
Right now in the US, both sides are using photos of Trump and Harris with P Diddy to smear each other. I don’t believe either were involved in the disgusting behind the scenes actions, but merely just took some photo ops. However, both sides will try to use that as a smear by association.
@DB
I could see your point and even agree with you if Linda McMahon had anything to do with it. As far as I can tell, she’s the wife Vince cheated on. If anything, I think people will look at her as a victim.
On one hand you have Linda who isn’t really involved with what Vince was doing. She’s a victim so blaming her or trying to use it as a smear campaign against her might not work. On the other hand, both Trump and Harris are connected to Diddy. Maybe not in some twisted sick way, but they no doubt know him and were no doubt on speaking terms with him. Maybe even friendly towards him.
Didn’t Trump use a fake picture of Harris with Diddy to make it look like she was part of what he was doing?
