Janel Grant's representation calls Brock Lesnar's return to WWE 'attempt to sweep misconduct under the rug'
Brock Lesnar put a punctuation mark on WWE SummerSlam Sunday night with his return to the ring after a two-year absence from the promotion. Lesnar came out to confront John Cena following his defeat to Cody Rhodes and loss of the WWE championship, eventually attacking Cena and using his signature F-5 finishing move on him. Yet while the excitement of a feud with Cena was the takeaway from SummerSlam, Lesnar's return also raises reminders of why he took a two-year hiatus. The seven-time WWE champion was named in a federal lawsuit against former WWE chairman and CEO Vince McMahon. The lawsuit was filed against the company by former WWE employee Janel Grant, alleging that McMahon had sexually assaulted and trafficked her. On Monday afternoon, Grant's represenation issued a statement regarding Lesnar's return to WWE. "For far too long, abuse was allowed to thrive under WWE's leadership," the statement says. "Instead of righting this wrong, WWE has done nothing to ensure those responsible are held accountable." "This attempt to sweep misconduct under the rug will backfire," the statement added. "We look forward to the full set of facts, including those about Mr. Lesnar, coming out in a court of law where they belong but, in the meantime, we refer you back to Janel Grant's updated complaint, which outlines, in detail, the abuse she endured by McMahon and others while employed at WWE." The full lawsuit can be read here, via the Wall Street Journal. One of the claims in the complaint alleges that McMahon shared "sexually explicit photographs and videos of Ms. Grant (including pornographic content he recorded) with other men both inside and outside the company." That included "a world-famous athlete and former UFC Heavyweight Champion with whom WWE was actively trying to sign to a new contract (and ultimately did sign that contract)." Lesnar was not initially named beyond that description in the lawsuit, but that has since been changed to outright name him in the complaint. McMahon denied all allegations in Grant's lawsuit, but resigned as WWE chairman in January 2024. Lesnar hadn't appeared for WWE since then, with the company shelving plans to feature him in that year's Royal Rumble. However, Lesnar was apparently cleared by WWE's lawyers to return as a performer four weeks ago, according to reporter Dave Meltzer (via Cageside Seats). Though Meltzer was not able to provide details, he speculated that being cleared meant that the lawsuit may go to arbitration and Lesnar faced no legal jeopardy. His return to WWE appears to support that notion.

Loni Anderson Stood By Burt Reynolds as He Was Bedridden for 2 Years, Taking Up to 50 Pain Pills a Day
Despite their bitter divorce in 1994, Burt Reynolds also once praised his ex-wife for sticking by him as he battled addiction and dramatic weight lossNEED TO KNOW Burt Reynolds admitted he once took up to 50 pills a day to treat pain from an on-set injury He praised his then-partner Loni Anderson for sticking by his side at his lowest point The couple later waged a media war during their bitter divorce, accusing each other of cheating and moreBy the end of their five-year marriage in 1994, there was certainly no love lost between actor Burt Reynolds, who died on Sept. 6, 2018, at age 82, and Loni Anderson, who died on Aug. 3, 2025, at age 79. Their bitter split actively played out in the media and tabloids, with both parties regularly dishing on the other to the National Enquirer, accusing one another of cheating, and in Reynolds's case, accusing Anderson of being an unfit mother to their adopted son Quinton, 36. But before the ugliness, there was a lot of love and support, with Reynolds publicly praising Anderson for sticking to his side as he battled morphine and sleeping pill addiction in the early '80s after he shattered his jaw on the set of the Clint Eastwood film City Heat. During the 1984 filming, Reynolds was accidentally clobbered with a wrought-iron chair during a fight scene. The blow fractured his temporomandibular joint, damaged his inner ear, and resulted in a two-year bout with almost constant pain and nausea. His weight dropped from 200 to 138 lbs, and the press was rife with erroneous reports that he had AIDS. To dull the pain, he took morphine and at one point was admittedly downing an astonishing 50 tablets a day of the controversial antidepressant and sleeping pill Halcion. At the time, Reynolds told TV Guide that the pain was immeasurable: "It's worse than a migraine," he said. "It is like having an army of people inside your head trying to get out through ears, eyes, your nose. It never stops." He said that he took five to six pills at a time and as many as 50 a day to dull the pain. For the two years after the injury, he was virtually bedridden in his darkened room. He endured another difficult year of medically supervised detox afterward. ''This wonderful lady never left my side,'' he later said of Loni, whom he'd been dating since 1981. ''How can you not be in love with somebody like that?'' The couple went on to marry in 1988, welcoming Quinton in 1988. Throughout most of his life, Reynolds would have battles with pain pills, owing to other injuries from his college football career, and a brief stint as a stuntman. In 2009, he went through back surgery and again became addicted to pain pills. He went to rehab that same year.

Despite their ugly split in the early '90s, after Reynolds' death in 2018, Anderson told FOX News that she had made peace with her ex-husband. "Quinton and I are extremely touched by the tremendous outpouring of love and support from friends and family throughout the world," she told the outlet. "Burt was a wonderful director and actor. He was a big part of my life for twelve years and Quinton's father for thirty years. We will miss him and his great laugh." Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword

Stephen Colbert's New Gig Revealed Following 'The Late Show' Cancellation
Colbert has landed a guest role on 'Elsbeth' after previously asking to play a "corpse" on the CBS seriesNEED TO KNOW Stephen Colbert has landed a guest role on Elsbeth season 3 The news comes weeks after CBS canceled The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Colbert will be playing a late-night talk show host in an episode of ElsbethWeeks after CBS canceled Stephen Colbert's The Late Show, the comedian has landed a new gig. PEOPLE has learned that Colbert will guest star on Elsbeth season 3. Better yet, art will imitate life, as he will play a late-night talk show host. CBS declined to comment when reached by PEOPLE. Elsbeth stars Carrie Preston as the titular Elsbeth Tascioni, an attorney from Chicago who utilizes her equally unique and quirky perspective to help the New York Police Department solve crimes. The show also stars Wendell Pierce as the NYPD captain overseeing Elsbeth, and Carra Patterson plays an NYPD officer who befriends Elsbeth. Colbert will join the star-studded list of celebrities who have made guest appearances on . The show, a spinoff of The Good Wife and The Good Fight, kicked off with a True Blood reunion between Preston and Stephen Moyer. Additional season 1 guest stars included Jane Krakowski, Linda Lavin, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Retta, Blair Underwood, Gina Gershon, Keegan-Michael Key, Laura Benanti and more. The list of guest stars only grew larger for season 2. It included Nathan Lane, Vanessa Williams, Pamela Adlon, Vanessa Bayer, Laurie Metcalf, Eric McCormack, Matthew Broderick, Jordana Brewster, Alyssa Milano, Mary-Louise Parker, David Alan Grier and Ethan Slater, to name a few. Colbert previously voiced his desire to appear on . Pierce stopped by The Late Show in February, and Colbert asked the actor if he could help him fulfill his dream "to be a corpse on one of these shows." "I want to be the body that's found behind the pile of lettuce boxes," Colbert pleaded. Pierce responded with a laugh, "I can make that happen. I know a guy who knows a guy. We can get you on." News of Colbert's new gig comes after he announced that was ending in May 2026 during the July 17 episode. "Before we start the show, I want you to know something that I found out just last night. Next year will be our last season. The network will be ending The Late Show in May," Colbert, who began hosting the show in 2015, told the studio audience. "It's not just the end of our show, but it's the end of The Late Show at CBS. I'm not being replaced," he added. "This is all just going away. And I do want to say that the folks at CBS have been great partners." In a statement shared with PEOPLE, CBS called the move "purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night." "It is not related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount," the statement continued, with the network expressing "admiration, affection, and respect" for Colbert, which it added "made this agonizing decision even more difficult." The timing of The Late Show's cancellation came days after Colbert criticized the network's parent company, Paramount, for reaching a $16 million settlement with President Donald Trump earlier in the month. The settlement also came in the midst Paramount's plans of a merger with the entertainment company Skydance, a move that would require approval from Trump's administration.
