The plaintiff, known as "Jane Doe" in court docket paperwork, alleges that in their two-year "rocky consensual relationship," Sharpe raped her twice, recorded sexual encounters with out consent, and threatened her.

In an audio clip launched to the media by the plaintiff’s lawyer, a lady says, “Don’t manipulate me,” to which Sharpe responds, “Oh, Lord have mercy, for those who say that phrase yet one more time, I will f*****g choke the s**t out of you after I see you.” The lady then sheepishly replies, “I don’t wish to be choked.”

Sharpe has vehemently denied the allegations, alleging that the clip was deliberately edited to misrepresent a consensual interplay.

In a latest public assertion, he referred to as the lawsuit “a shakedown,” recognized the plaintiff as OnlyFans mannequin Gabriella “Gabbi” Zuniga, and claimed that it was “all being orchestrated by Tony Buzbee,” Gabbi’s lawyer.

“Tony Buzbee targets black males, and I imagine he’s going to launch a 30-second clip of a intercourse tape that tries to make me look responsible and play in to each stereotype you may probably think about,” Sharpe mentioned.

He went on to allege that the intercourse tape was really “10 minutes” and that the encounter befell “at her invitation.” He accused Gabbi of coordinating “a deliberate setup” and Buzbee of modifying the video to “manipulate the media,” promising to satisfy their lawsuit with a defamation countersuit.

Jason Whitlock and “Fearless” visitor Shemeka Michelle dive into the scandal.

Jason believes that Sharpe’s public persona is a major issue on this controversy. He places two and two collectively: If the cellphone name was consensual, as Sharpe insists it was, then the choking risk should have meant he was enjoying a personality, as he typically does on tv.

“A variety of occasions, a personality takes on a lifetime of its personal that is uncontrolled and can get the actual individual in lots of bother,” says Jason.

“It is not the primary time I’ve heard a lady — a younger girl — declare [she was] choked by Shannon Sharpe,” he provides, noting that he used to work with Sharpe at Fox Sports activities a number of years in the past.

However that doesn’t imply he’s on workforce Gabbi essentially. Tony Buzbee’s lawsuit document does embody the names of a number of high-profile black males, together with Jay-Z, Sean “Diddy” Combs, and Deshaun Watson.

However Jason doesn’t assume Buzbee is simply “out to get black males.” What he’s really after is “doing the bidding of girls,” he says.

Shemeka agrees, acknowledging that it’s true that girls interact in these relationships with celebrities for the express goal of getting wealthy.

“I'm going to be one in all these folks to attend to see what info comes out,” she says, noting that if the total context of the cellphone name between Gabbi and Sharpe is launched, it might very effectively show that the trade was a part of a role-playing sport.

Even when that’s true, Jason thinks Sharpe ought to know higher.

“Play silly video games, win silly prizes,” he says.
