Pro Football Hall of Famer and media personality Shannon Sharpe is facing a lawsuit, accused of sexual assault and battery, and engaging in the intentional infliction of emotional distress.
A woman who has chosen to keep her identity private filed a lawsuit against Shannon Sharpe on April 20, 2025, in Nevada, accusing him of rape on multiple occasions.
Shannon Sharpe has denied allegations of rape levied against him in a civil lawsuit filed on Sunday, with his attorney claiming Sharpe’s accuser presented the former NFL star with a “secretly recorded” and “heavily edited” video he says is designed to depict a nonconsensual encounter.
