Ex-WWE employee, Janel Grant files petition against celebrity doctor who treated WWE talent and employees
As a dedicated gamer and follower of sports and entertainment news, I find the ongoing legal saga between Janel Grant, Vince McMahon, Dr. Carlon Colker, and Peak Wellness, Inc., to be both intriguing and disturbing. Having closely followed the developments in this case over the past year, I can’t help but feel a growing sense of unease as more details about the alleged manipulation and abuse of power come to light.
On Tuesday, Janel Grant’s lawyers submitted a request for pre-discovery in Connecticut’s courts against Dr. Carlon Colker and Peak Wellness, Inc. The petition asks for access to testimonies and documents relevant to Grant’s lawsuit against Vince McMahon, John Laurinaitis, and the WWE. According to the filing, Dr. Colker is not only known as a celebrity doctor but also serves as the preferred doctor for WWE personnel.
Based on the documentation, Colker attended to Grant’s fatigue and insomnia at McMahon’s request in 2019. Over a period of approximately two years and four months, Colker, along with another practitioner from Peak Welless, continued to provide treatment for Grant as instructed by McMahon. In total, she attended more than sixty sessions. During these appointments, Grant was prescribed “supplement trays” which she was advised to consume daily.
“She additionally received unspecified weekly transfusions, which Grant inquired about. However, Colker repeatedly declined to disclose the reason or type of the pills, responding: ‘If you don’t have faith in me, we face greater issues.’ Grant shared his concern with Colker when he felt unwell during the IV treatments, but Colker attributed it to Grant’s individual “sensitivity”.
During her multiple visits, Grant was given inadequate and incorrect paper documents instead of her complete and accurate digital medical records. The court document indicates that McMahon had authority over Grant’s life, including making medical decisions for her. McMahon or WWE covered the costs of her appointments at Peak Wellness, amounting to more than $51,000. However, according to the filing, Grant neither received nor paid invoices from Peak Wellness. When Grant declined to provide a credit card for payment, Colker allegedly criticized her and questioned if the issue was related to money or the NDA.
The document adds that Dr. Colker was privy to the details surrounding the alleged undisclosed agreement being questioned in the Federal Case. With McMahon’s consent, Grant sought a lawyer recommendation from Dr. Colker. Subsequently, upon approval from McMahon, Grant hired the recommended attorney to handle the negotiations for the suspected non-disclosure agreement.
McMahon, who was rumored to have significant influence over Grant’s life, was reportedly involved with a Peak Wellness employee in instances of sexual misconduct against Grant. In her initial complaint, Grant stated that she was coerced into participating in a sexual encounter involving both McMahon and the employee. It is important to note that this incident should not be mistaken for the forced threesome with McMahon and Laurinaitis mentioned elsewhere in the lawsuit.
The filing was made to include the testimony and records that are crucial in deciding if the Defendants have committed falsification of medical records, RICO violations, conspiracy to commit RICO offenses, assault, battery, or breaches of fiduciary duty against Ms. Grant, along with other possible accusations.
Colker handles WWE’s staff and stars, but also boasts a prominent client list including Andre Agassi, Bradley Cooper, Jeremy Piven – who faced accusations of sexual misconduct during the #MeToo movement, and Shaq. In 2007, Colker made an appearance on Shaq’s reality show “Shaq’s Big Challenge” on ABC.)
Towards the end of May, Grant put her legal action against McMahon on hold while the DOJ carried out further probing. In August 2023, a federal grand jury issued a subpoena for McMahon prior to this lawsuit pause. Before the holding, both McMahon and Laurinaitis had opted for arbitration proceedings instead.
On Tuesday afternoon, a spokesperson for McMahon released a statement to Wrestlenomics:
Ms. Grant’s request for pre-discovery before taking legal action against Dr. Colker goes against the court-issued halt, serving no purpose other than seeking publicity for her unfounded accusations and causing distress to individuals linked to Mr. McMahon, who is being sued by Ms. Grant in a separate case.
Based on the information provided, it seems that there is some inconsistency in the statements made by Ms. Grant regarding her experiences with Dr. Colker. From what I’ve gathered, she initially expressed fatigue to Mr. McMahon and asked for his recommendation, which led her to become a patient of Dr. Colker. However, in a filing, she stated something inconsistent with her previous remarks about the doctor.
As of this writing, there has not been a statement for Dr. Colker or Peak Wellness.
Approaching a year has passed since the federal grand jury issued a subpoena to WWE. The highly anticipated pay-per-view event, SummerSlam, is scheduled for August 3 in Cleveland, Ohio. Just prior to this, Grant’s legal team filed their initial lawsuit. With the lawsuit on hold, there’s a possibility that the Department of Justice could announce an indictment soon.
