It was reported by The Wall Street Journal in January of 2024 that Janel Grant, a former WWE employee,
filed a lawsuit against WWE, Vince McMahon, and John Laurinaitis in a Connecticut federal court. McMahon was accused of sex trafficking in the complaint.
According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com, Dr. Carlon M. Colker and Peak Wellness Inc. filed a 41-page lawsuit in the U.S. District Court of Connecticut against Janel Grant’s attorney, Ann Callis, and the Holland Law Firm on May 2nd 2025. The suit accuses Callis of defaming Colker by falsely linking him to unethical medical practices in connection with Grant’s lawsuit against Vince McMahon, WWE, and John Laurinaitis. The complaint alleges Callis made defamatory statements in a press release and YouTube conference, despite possessing medical records that contradicted her claims. These statements, allegedly spread to major media and social media, caused reputational and financial harm to Colker. The lawsuit argues the remarks were made outside legal proceedings, unprotected by litigation privilege. It further states that a patient, implied to be Grant, was seen at least 60 times, actively participated in treatment decisions, and received detailed explanations of all treatments, supplements, and medications.
The lawsuit claims the following…
“As evidenced in the Medical Records:
-At no point was Patient forced to undergo intravenous infusions.
– At no point was Patient ever administered or directed to take unknown substances by way of intravenous route, orally, or otherwise.
-At no point was Patient directed to take unlabeled drugs.
-At no point did Dr. Colker personally administer any injections to Patient.
-At no point did Patient report experiencing any adverse effects related to her treatments.”
The lawsuit alleges that the patient ceased treatment with Dr. Carlon M. Colker in April 2022 without expressing any dissatisfaction or concerns about her care. It further claims that all medical records requested by Ann Callis and her legal team were provided as requested, despite public accusations of withholding. The complaint includes shipping manifests for the records and a July 16th 2024, acknowledgment from Erica Nolan of Holland Law confirming receipt. The lawsuit seeks compensatory and punitive damages, asserting that Callis acted with malice and knowingly spread falsehoods. Holland Law is also accused of failing to supervise and prevent Callis’ actions.
It was also noted that the defendants have not yet been served.
