Shannon Sharpe Faces $50M Lawsuit Amid Explosive Assault Allegations
NFL Hall of Famer and ESPN analyst Shannon Sharpe is under intense scrutiny following a bombshell $50 million lawsuit filed in Nevada by Gabriella “Gabbi” Zuniga. She alleges that Sharpe raped her multiple times during what she describes as a toxic two-year relationship.
According to the complaint, Zuniga accuses Sharpe of non-consensual acts, secretly recording intimate encounters, and sharing the content without her permission. One chilling text, now circulating online, reads:
“I begged you to put a condom on and not put it in my a and u didn’t listen.”**
Sharpe’s alleged reply?
“Can I call you later?”
The internet exploded after these messages surfaced, with users debating the authenticity and intent behind the texts. Some accused Zuniga of manipulation, while others expressed outrage at the allegations.
The lawsuit also includes accusations of physical threats and a disputed non-disclosure agreement. Despite the seriousness, Sharpe has yet to publicly respond.
As public opinion fractures, the case threatens not only Sharpe’s career but also ignites a broader conversation about consent, power, and media judgment.
