As noted before, former WWE employee Janel Grant filed a lawsuit this past January against former TKO Executive Chairman Vince McMahon accusing McMahon of committing sex trafficking and sexual abuse towards her during her time in the company. Grant’s lawsuit was put on hold this past April over a request from the United States Department of Justice, who officially launched their own criminal investigation into McMahon and joined the lawsuit as an “interested party.”
Post Wrestling’s John Pollock and Wrestlenomics’ Brandon Thurston reported that Grant’s lawyers filed a pre-action discovery petition earlier today against Dr. Carlon Colker and his clinic Peak Wellness, Inc. in Connecticut Superior Court in Stamford, Connecticut based on recent court records.
In the petition, Grant stated that beginning around November of 2019 she was sent at the direction of McMahon to Colker’s clinic in Greenwich, Connecticut. Grant stated that she received treatments that were not disclosed to her including pills and I.V. fusions. Grant also stated that when she had asked Colker about the substance of the pills she was being given, Colker allegedly pushed back and questioned if Grant trusted him.
On multiple visits, Dr. Colker prescribed Ms. Grant with “adrenal trays” or “adrenal supplement trays,” provided by his office and instructed her to take the unmarked pills daily. Dr. Colker did not explain the substances, dosages, or purpose of the pills to Ms. Grant beyond purportedly addressing her symptoms of fatigue. When Ms. Grant asked Dr. Colker about the substance of the supplement trays, and specifically which substance(s) caused her to experience nausea, he responded with pushback about trust, including, “If you don’t trust me, we have bigger problems.”
In the petition, it was stated that Colker “routinely treats employees and talent of World Wrestling Entertainment”.
Grant reportedly is seeking medical records related to her lawsuit against McMahon, John Laurinaitis, and WWE. Grant’s lawyer reportedly are claiming that the paper records that the clinic has provided to them up to this point are “incomplete and inaccurate.”
“For example, there are billing records that do not have a corresponding medical record, medical records that do not have a corresponding billing record, inconsistent billing rates, and double charges.”
Grant reportedly is also claiming that a Peak Wellness employee was involved in “several instances of sexual abuse” against her by McMahon that was further described in her federal complaint this past January.
In the federal complaint, Grant had stated that McMahon had recruited a physical therapist whose identity was given as “Physical Therapist from an unnamed clinic refereed to as “Alternative Clinic” to participate in threesomes involving McMahon and Grant. Grant claimed that McMahon had pressured her into these and other sex acts.
In the same complaint, Grant alleged that McMahon had urged her to see a physician, who was refereed to as “Celebrity Doctor”, and was said to operate out of the “Alternative Clinic.”
Pollock and Thurston reported that they have yet to confirm if the person refereed to as “Celebrity Doctor” is indeed Colker and if the clinic refereed to as “Alternative Clinic” is indeed Peak Wellness.
Grant’s petition reportedly also alleges that Colker knew about the nondisclosure agreement between Grant and McMahon. Grant had claimed in her federal complaint that this was a reason why him and McMahon wanting Grant to remain in his clinic’s care.
“Dr. Colker had personal knowledge of the circumstances surrounding a purported non-disclosure agreement at issue in the Federal Action.”
Grant is also claiming that Colker had recommended Grant work with his attorney, who helped her negotiate the NDA with McMahon in early 2022.
