In the lawsuit, Doe alleges Shannon Sharpe \u201craped\u201d her despite her \u201csobbing and repeated screams of \u2018no.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cA woman can say \u2018yes\u2019 to consensual sexual relations with a man ninety-nine times, but when she says \u2018no\u2019 even once, that \u2018no\u2019 means no,\u201d the complaint states in part. \u201cDefendant Shannon Sharpe, a man who is accustomed to getting what he wants, completely fails to understand this basic concept. After many months of manipulating and controlling Plaintiff\u2014a woman more than thirty years younger than he\u2014and repeatedly threatening to brutally choke and violently slap her, Sharpe refused to accept the answer no and raped Plaintiff, despite her sobbing and repeated screams of \u2018no.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
The lawsuit also accuses Sharpe of recording their sexual encounters without her permission and sharing those videos with others.<\/p>\n
Doe claims she attempted to end their nearly two-year relationship, but Sharpe allegedly \u201crelentlessly pursued\u201d her afterward.<\/p>\n
Representing the plaintiff is attorney Tony Buzbee, widely known for his work in the Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs and Deshaun Watson cases, alongside co-counsel Micah Nash.<\/p>\n
Sharpe, 55, has not publicly responded to the allegations. The case remains civil, with no criminal charges filed as of now. <\/p>\n
Doe accuses Sharpe of assault, sexual assault, battery, and sexual battery, and the intentional infliction of emotional distress. The lawsuit seeks a minimum of $50 million in damages.\u00a0<\/p>\n
