‘Club Shay Shay’ Host Shannon Sharpe Sued for $50 Million Over Alleged Sexual Assault


Shannon Sharpe, a former pro footballer who is now the host of the popular "Club Shay Shay" podcast, has been sued over an alleged sexual assault.

According to a lawsuit filed by a Jane Doe on Sunday in Nevada state court, 56-year-old Sharpe met the plaintiff at the gym in 2023, when she was 19, and they began a “rocky consensual relationship that lasted nearly two years.” The civil complaint was filed by Tony Buzbee, who is currently representing over 150 alleged victims of Sean “Diddy” Combs. By late 2024, the lawsuit claims that Sharpe would insist on recording their sexual activity and would allegedly share the videos with others without Doe’s consent or knowledge. Just last week, it was reported that Sharpe was eyeing a new podcasting contract worth $100 million after his current deal ends.
