Nicole and Brie Garcia (previously known as The Bella Twins) have stated the allegations in the suit filed by Janel Grant.

Nicole and Brie, who are the stepdaughters of John Laurinaitis, posted the following statement on Monday:

We are shocked and disheartened with the recent allegations against members of the WWE.

It has been a lot to process since we found out this past week just as you all did. This is something we don’t stand for or condone from anyone no matter who they are.

We want all women to feel safe and supported in the workplace and in their everyday lives.

The Garcias have not been affiliated with WWE since their contracts ended last March.

Their stepfather, John Laurinaitis, is listed as one of the defendants in the suit where Grant is alleging that she was sexually assaulted, trafficked, and the victim of physical and emotional abuse by Vince McMahon and John Laurinaitis while also stating others in the company knew the situations.

Correction: The final paragraph of this article originally identified Laurinaitis as the father-in-law of the Garcias. This has been corrected.
