Shannon Sharpe Faces $50 Million Lawsuit Amid Alleged Threatening Audio
NFL Hall of Famer and ESPN analyst Shannon Sharpe has been accused of rape and sexual assault in a lawsuit filed by a woman identified as Jane Doe. The plaintiff alleges that during their nearly two-year relationship, Sharpe exerted control over her and committed multiple acts of sexual assault, including a violent incident in October 2024. The lawsuit also claims Sharpe recorded their sexual encounters without her consent and shared them with others.
Adding to the controversy, an undated audio clip has surfaced in which a voice, purportedly Sharpe’s, threatens to “choke the s–t” out of the woman. While the authenticity of the clip remains unverified, its release has intensified public scrutiny.
Sharpe has denied all allegations, with his legal team stating that the audio was taken out of context and was a response to false accusations.
