Shannon Sharpe is being accused of rape, and things have progressively gotten worse for him.
Although Sharpe has fought back with a statement, he is now back on defense after his accuser released audio of a conversation she says she had with the Pro Football Hall of Famer.
TMZ dropped that audio on Tuesday.
The “Club Shay Shay” host could be heard telling the woman, “You want to be a d–k to me now,” prompting her to reply, “Don’t manipulate me.”
He then allegedly stated, “Lord have mercy. If you say that word one more time, I will f–king choke the s–t out of you when I see you. …. Thank you.”
The woman then tells Sharpe that she doesn’t “want to be choked,” and so he tells her, “Yes, you do.”
He and his lawyers have already stated that they heard the audio and claimed that it was heavily edited. They even asked for the full audio, which was not provided to them.
Sharpe has vehemently denied his accuser’s allegations.
The civil action filed in Nevada state court alleged that Sharpe committed sexual assault against the accuser near the end of 2024 and the start of 2025.
Shannon Sharpe Releases Statement And Text Messages
Shannon Sharpe’s legal team has released alleged texts between him and the woman who accused him of rape before the $50 million lawsuit was filed.
The sexually explicit messages include the woman allegedly telling Sharpe that she wants him to “put a dog collar around my neck” and “tie me up and do bad things to me.”
It added that the crime was committed during a “rocky consensual relationship” that lasted for about two years.
