Shannon Sharpe has settled a lawsuit accusing him of sexual assault during a relationship with a woman who filed as Jane Doe. The lawsuit sought $50 million and was dismissed with prejudice, preventing re-filing. Sharpe had previously described the allegations as 'false and disruptive.' He and the woman had a nearly two-year relationship, which was both consensual and tumultuous, according to statements made during the settlement process. Sharpe, a Hall of Fame NFL player, stepped away from ESPN amid the allegations but intends to return by the NFL preseason.
"All matters have now been addressed satisfactorily, and the matter is closed. The lawsuit will thus be dismissed with prejudice."
"Both sides acknowledge a long-term consensual and tumultuous relationship. After protracted and respectful negotiations, I'm pleased to announce that we have reached a mutually agreed upon resolution."
