Dr. Colker withdraws complaint, allowing Janel Grant’s petition for medical records to proceed in WWE lawsuit
Janel Grant’s effort to obtain her medical records from Dr. Carlon Colker has made progress. Dr. Colker has withdrawn his complaint against Grant, which was seen as a potential lead-up to defamation litigation. This withdrawal leaves Grant’s petition for her medical records and other documents active. Grant’s attorney, Ann Callis, described Dr. Colker’s motion as baseless and an attempt to intimidate her client.
The larger context of this development is Grant’s ongoing civil suit against former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, former WWE Head of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis, WWE, and others. This suit has been put on hold while federal investigators examine Grant’s serious allegations of sexual assault, torture, trafficking, abuse, and harassment during her time as McMahon’s legal assistant. The investigation could potentially lead to criminal charges. As a result of the lawsuit, McMahon resigned from his positions at WWE and TKO Group Holdings, marking his second retirement following a previous departure in 2022 amid reports of using company funds for hush money settlements with former employees.
