Shannon Sharpe's Lawyer Explains $10 Million Settlement Offer


Shannon Sharpe’s lawyer claimed the $10 million settlement offer does not admit wrongdoing in the sexual assault allegations against the ESPN personality

Attorney Lanny Davis released a lengthy statement directed at Pro Football Talk writer Mike Florio, who wrote on Tuesday, April 22, that it was “hard to reconcile the aggressive claim that the allegations are fabricated with the admission that Sharpe offered at least $10 million to settle the case.” In court documents filed in Nevada on April 20, according to NBC Sports, a woman identified as “Jane Doe” accused Sharpe of sexually assaulting her on multiple occasions as well as making verbal threats. According to court documents obtained by NBC Sports, the two had a “a rocky consensual relationship” over two years, but in that time, Sharpe also allegedly inflicted intentional emotional distress.
