In a recent development, a well-known former NFL player and media personality, Shannon Sharpe, has found himself embroiled in serious accusations of sexual assault and battery. The allegations stem from a woman who has filed a substantial lawsuit amounting to $50 million against him in Nevada. With such claims being made, many are now questioning the nature of this lawsuit.
Here are more details about the lawsuit against Sharpe.
Shannon Sharpe’s charges explained
In a $50 million lawsuit brought forth in Nevada, Shannon Sharpe is facing severe allegations. The accuser, a woman, claims that Sharpe subjected her to sexual assault, emotional abuse, and battery throughout their two-year romantic involvement.
As per court records, the woman asserts that she first encountered Sharpe at a gym in Los Angeles when she was just 20 and he was around 50. She maintains that their initial interaction was consensual, but later turned harmful or damaging.
The lawsuit additionally brings forth troubling allegations such as: Sharpe is accused of covertly recording intimate moments with the accuser and subsequently sharing these recordings without her permission. One account suggests that Sharpe reacted aggressively when she tried to disclose her location to friends, supposedly threatening to harm her.
Besides leveling charges against Sharpe, the woman asserted that his behavior grew more dominating and verbally aggressive over time. The alleged incidents reportedly peaked when Sharpe accidentally broadcast himself engaging intimately with another woman in September 2024. Furthermore, she alleged that he sexually assaulted her in October 2024 and January 2025.
Sharpe firmly refutes all accusations made against him. His attorney, Lanny J. Davis, called the lawsuit a “shakedown,” asserting it lacked merit. In addition, Sharpe himself spoke out in an Instagram video, denying any wrongdoing and disclosing the name of the woman who filed the lawsuit.

Lanny Davis, legal representative for George Sharpe, stated in a declaration that the lawsuit initiated by Gabriella Zuniga and masterminded by her attorney Tony Buzbee aims to extort millions from Mr. Sharpe under false pretenses. The lawsuit contains lies, distortions, and misleading statements, and it will ultimately fail.
