Los Angeles, California – A new audio clip has been released by the attorney representing the woman suing former NFL star Shannon Sharpe. In the clip, Sharpe is heard allegedly threatening to “choke” the woman in public. This release comes after a $50 million lawsuit was filed against Sharpe by a woman identified as Jane Doe in Nevada.
The phone conversation, shared by attorney Tony Buzbee and acquired by TMZ, begins with the woman questioning Sharpe about his plans to visit Los Angeles. Sharpe confirmed his visit, leading the woman to express concern about going out with him. The conversation then takes a disturbing turn when Doe tells Sharpe she does not wish to be choked.
Sharpe responds by making a threatening statement about choking her in public, which the woman finds concerning. The clip ends shortly after this exchange, leaving the timing of the conversation unclear.
This is the second audio clip released, both of which allegedly feature Sharpe making threats of violence towards the woman. Sharpe has denied the allegations made against him and claims that his relationship with the woman involved consensual role-playing.
Amidst the legal battle, Sharpe’s representatives have released text messages between him and the woman, suggesting a pattern of sexual role-playing that includes choking. The nature of their relationship has been a focal point in the ongoing dispute, with the woman accusing Sharpe of sexual assault, battery, sexual battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
The lawsuit stems from a rocky and consensual relationship that began when the woman was 20 years old and Sharpe was in his 50s. While Sharpe’s team describes the relationship as consensual, the woman alleges otherwise and seeks significant damages in her lawsuit against the former NFL star.
As the legal proceedings continue, the public awaits further developments in the case between the woman and Shannon Sharpe. The release of audio clips and text messages adds complexity to the narrative, shedding light on the dynamics between the two parties and the allegations being made.
