The attorney for Janel Grant says that she has been vetting new victims that have come forward with allegations of misconduct against former WWE Chairman, Vince McMahon.

In an interview with SEScoops, Ann Callis -- Grant's attorney, stated that because of the Grant lawsuit, other McMahon victims have come forward with claims against the former WWE boss and that she is currently going through the vetting process on those claims.

“I can say generally, Janel has been courageous in speaking out about her situation,” Callis said. “Her hope is she is an example to other people who feel that they are not alone and they can speak out themselves and we have been seeing that. I have had several people contact me and we are doing vetting and going through that process.”
