A woman filed a lawsuit in Nevada accusing Pro Football Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe of sexually assaulting and battering her during a rocky consensual relationship. The complaint alleges that despite her saying “no,” Sharpe raped her multiple times and recorded sexual encounters without her consent. The woman’s attorney, Tony Buzbee, claims that the relationship was not consensual and included Sharpe using his fame, power, and influence to manipulate and control her. The lawsuit seeks over $50 million in compensatory and punitive damages. Sharpe’s attorney, Lanny Davis, denies the allegations and describes the lawsuit as an attempt to extort money from his client. The lawsuit also alleges that Sharpe exhibited controlling and aggressive behavior, including instances of forced sexual intercourse and berating the woman. Sharpe apologized last year for broadcasting an intimate act on Instagram, an incident referenced in the lawsuit. The lawsuit was filed under the pseudonym “Jane Doe,” and Sharpe has not publicly responded to the allegations.ESPN, where Sharpe is currently employed as a broadcaster, has declined to comment on the lawsuit. Sharpe played 14 years in the NFL, winning three Super Bowls and being inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2011. The lawsuit paints Sharpe as a narcissistic individual who has abused his fame and power to mistreat women.
