One of the women who have accused Shannon Sharpe of rap3 has given an interview about the alleged incident in which she’s described the graphic events she claims took place several years ago.
Sharpe is fielding two suits of similar nature and has been forced to step down from his analytical role at ESPN following the accusations that came to light in April.
A bombshell report from TMZ initially disclosed that the former NFL tight end has been named in a $50 million lawsuit accusing him of multiple instances of rap3. Sharpe has since put up a strong denial, but his own legal team admitted that he made a $10 million offer to keep the matter out of court.
It’s since been revealed that Sharpe has been dealing with a separate lawsuit filed by a Michele Evans prior to the one coming from Gabriella Zuniga. That particular suit was filed in 2023 and accuses the Hall of Famer of s3xual assault.

Evans claimed to have been in a relationship with Sharpe for over 10 years, although she was married. She is suing for emotional distress and defamation, among other infractions.

She spoke to The Sun in a recent interview, describing the alleged act as she asserted she was forced to perform oral s3x on the former NFL star during a violent argument, having told him “no” after he asked to have s3x with her.
Evans claims Sharpe then took her to the bed “after he had enough of that.”
Asked why she didn’t file a police report, she said she was afraid of being victimized by Atlanta police, with whom Sharpe had a relationship.
“Atlanta has a problem with corruption,” she added.
Sharpe’s lawyer had previously stated that Evans has little credibility as she spent time in prison for trying to kill her husband so she could be with Sharpe.
Shannon Sharpe’s Former Stylist Speaks Out, Claims He Was Responsible For Keeping The Hall Of Famer’s Naughty Lifestyle A Secret From Everyone

Shannon Sharpe’s former stylist has broken his silence amid the allegations being levied against the Hall of Famer, taking to social media to suggest he covered up various misdeeds.
Russell “Hollywood” Simpson works as a fashion guide for NFL and NBA players and had been a close associate of Sharpe’s until he was let go amid rumors of them having an intimate relationship.
Simpson, also known as Hollywood Mugler, is apparently unhappy with the way things turned out and has taken a shot at the former tight end online that could possibly land him in some trouble, too.
The stylist posted a photo of Sharpe with several women to His Instagram Story which he captioned, “See when I was around you never heard a single word! I had everything so organized.”

Social media users were quick to point out that the admission would probably work against Simpson.
“You had what organized? Brother this is NOT A FLEX. If he ends up going to jail for assault you are going in a cell next to him dummy,” one wrote.
“I dont understand y people jus cant STFU? y run to social media makin yaself hot? Dont worry cops bout to be knockin at ya door soon dummy,” said a second.
Shannon Sharpe previously discussed the split between him and his former stylist on his ‘Nightcap’ podcast, claiming that they parted ways amicably and he let him go because he wanted to go back to working with Shelly Davis, who had been with him since his playing days.
The 56-year-old is facing a $50 million lawsuit bearing allegations of s3xual assault. He has since stepped down from his post at ESPN, though he says he expects to be back for the 2025 NFL season.
