For the first time since the Janel Grant lawsuit hit the news, an attorney representing John Laurinaitis has spoken to the media, denying the accusations and actually saying that his client is a victim as well.

Speaking to VICE News, attorney Edward Brennan said, “Mr. Laurinaitis denies the allegations in the misguided complaint and will be vigorously defending these charges in Court, not the media. Like the Plaintiff, Mr. Laurinaitis is a victim in this case, not a predator. The truth will come out.”

Asked to clarify what he means when he labeled Laurinaitis a victim, Brennan added, “Read the allegations. Read the Federal Statute. Power, control, employment supervisory capacity, dictatorial sexual demands with repercussions if not met. Count how many times in the complaint Vince exerts control over both of them.”
