Shannon Sharpe, who faced accusations of rape, drums and emotional distress in April 2025, reached a “agreed” resolution with the accuser.
Friday, July 18, the lawyer of the accuser, Tony Buzbee, announced on X that all the questions related to the trial had been dealt with “satisfactorily”, ” And the trial of $ 50 million was “rejected with prejudice”. He added that the two parties recognized that Sharpe and Jane Doe had a “consensus and tumultuous long -term relationship”.
Reacting to the announcement on July 19, the conservative commentator Candace Owens set out to weigh the broader implications for the men of today’s society concerning marriage and relations.
In his post, Owens quoted the argument that men should not marry because the courts are “unfavorable” to them in divorce affairs, especially due to financial repercussions. She referred to a Shannon Sharpe rape and sexual battery trial, noting that Jane Doe, who “slept” with Sharpe, asked “10 million dollars”, leading to a regulation.
THE Calendar The host added that even if the amount of the final regulations have not been revealed, the real question is how many men pay in “shakedown” regulations to women with whom they have had a “consensual” relationship.
She also asked her audience this question:
“So, my question is, in today’s society, which is perceived as a higher risk for men? Wedding (with the possibility of divorce) or no marriage (with the possibility of each woman with whom you have relationships with you). It is only interested in hearing male responses to that.”
What were the allegations against Shannon Sharpe?
In April 2025, Jane Doe brought a civil action of $ 50 million against Shannon Sharpe in Clark County, Nevada. According to CBS, they met in a gymnasium in Los Angeles in 2023 when Jane Doe was 20 years old and Sharpe was 56 years old.
The court documents said that the two were in a “rocky” relationship for almost two years, during which Sharpe would have used his fame to “manipulate, control, subjugate and violate it”.
Jane Doe also said in the trial that Sharpe had recorded their sexual meetings and shared them with her “friends and associates” without her consent. She also said that the former American football player had raped her twice, in October 2024 and January 2015.
“After several months of manipulation and control of the applicant – a woman more than thirty years younger than him – and threatening several times to suffocate brutally and to slap it violently, Sharpe refused to accept the no and the complainant of R *, despite her sobbing and repeated cries of` `non ”,” the complaint alleged.
The trial added that Sharpe flew to “anger attacks” whenever Jane Doe confronted him with the deception and that he even found a way to enter his apartments without his permission.
“A woman can say” yes “to consensual relations * Xuelles with a man eighty-nine times, but when she says” no “even once, that” no “means no. The defendant Shannon Sharpe, a man who is used to obtaining what he wants, does not completely understand this basic concept,” added the trial.
