Janel Grant’s PR team slams WWE over the Lee Fitting hiring

Following yesterday’s New York Times story on Lee Fitting, who is now WWE’s Head of Media & Production, Janel Grant’s legal and PR team kicked into gear to advance their case against the company, which is a plaintiff in their lawsuit which also includes Vince McMahon and John Laurinaitis.

The New York Times revealed that Fitting was fired from ESPN after 25 years after years of sexual misconduct, with the investigative team interviewing 20 women during his time with the Disney company.

“How can WWE claim they are committed to improving the company’s culture, and at the same time, hire a man earlier this year who was accused of sexual misconduct and workplace harassment in his previous role?” wrote Grant spokeswoman Kendra Barkoff-Lamy in a statement.

“The allegations against Lee Fitting during his time at ESPN are extremely concerning. Revelations like this are why Janel Grant’s lawyers sent a letter to WWE and Endeavor, urging them to release all current and former employees from their NDAs,” Barkoff-Lamy continued.

She said that the same “old boys club” who enabled Janel Grant’s abuse are continuing to put alleged predators in leadership roles, urging for this pattern to change once and for all!

WWE and TKO did not make any comments after Fitting’s story was published.
