Filmmakers of the upcoming Netflix docuseries Mr. McMahon
reached out to Janel Grant – who sued McMahon, John
Laurinaitis, and WWE – to be part of the series but no deal
was reached.

“Netflix’s documentary group made initial outreach to
Janel’s representation for an interview for this project,” a
spokesperson for Janel Grant told POST Wrestling. “Despite
this, no such interview came to fruition.”

The decision rested with Grant and she decided not to be
part of the series according to the website, perhaps not to
leave any possibility of wrongdoing if McMahon’s defense
team played that card in court.

Grant sued McMahon for sexual assault and sex trafficking.
The lawsuit is currently on pause after the U.S. Department
of Justice intervened to conduct their own federal
investigation which could lead to criminal charges.

The six-part Mr. McMahon series, from director Bill Simmons
and executive producer Chris Smith, will premiere on Netflix
on September 25. It will chronicle the rise and fall of the
former WWE Chairman and CEO with interviews from McMahon
himself, his family, friends, and former colleagues.
