Shannon Sharpe, a former NFL standout and current ESPN analyst, is accused of sexual assault and battery in a lawsuit filed by a former partner. The allegations outline a two-year relationship that began in 2023, during which the woman claims she was manipulated and threatened by Sharpe. The lawsuit details instances of alleged rape and claims he filmed their encounters without her consent. Sharpe's attorney has denied the allegations, calling them an attempt at blackmail. The plaintiff seeks $50 million in damages.
"A woman can say yes to consensual sexual relations with a man ninety-nine times, but when she says no even once, that no means no, the lawsuit states."
"Mr. Sharpe categorically denies all allegations of coercion or misconduct, especially the gross lie of rape, and will not submit to what he sees as an egregious attempt at blackmail."
