Shannon Sharpe speaks out on $50 million rape lawsuit, vows to countersue for defamation: 'This is a shakedown'
Briefly

Shannon Sharpe has publicly addressed a $50 million lawsuit filed against him for rape and battery, alleging it is a manipulation orchestrated by attorney Tony Buzbee. In a heartfelt Instagram video, Sharpe stated that he believes the accusations are a deliberate setup and that Buzbee targets black men. He challenges Buzbee to release the entire video of the incident, which he claims will exonerate him. Sharpe expressed his commitment to transparency, asserting that he would rather be sued for defamation than allow the claims to damage his reputation.
To my family, friends, supporters and colleagues: I want to speak to you directly and from the heart. This is a shakedown. I'm gonna be open, transparent and defend myself because this isn't right.
Hey, Tony, instead of releasing your edit, put the whole video out. I don't have it, or I would myself. You know what happened, and you're trying to manipulate the media.
