Shannon Sharpe is in deep water.
The NFL Hall of Famer and an ESPN personality is facing serious allegations in a lawsuit filed in Nevada.
The plaintiff, who has since been identified as Gabriella’ Gabbi’ Zuniga, claims that Sharpe raped her multiple times during what she describes as a tumultuous two-year “consensual relationship.”
The $50 million lawsuit details various incidents, including allegations that Sharpe recorded their encounters without her consent and shared these recordings.
Recently, the text messages between the two parties have been shared on social media. And soon after the upload, internet fans are going wild crazy with their reactions over the communication.
As per the shared text messages:
Doe: “I cried when u left because I begged you to put a condom on and not put it in my a** and u didn’t listen.”
Doe: “I don’t care what our history is… no means no, Shannon.”
Sharpe: “Can I call you later?”

Additionally, the complaint also cited the consent between the two.
“A woman can say ‘yes’ to consensual sexual relations with a man ninety-nine times. But when she says ‘no’ even once, that ‘no’ means no,” the complaint said.
The lawsuit indicates that the woman met Sharpe when she was 22 at a gym in Los Angeles in 2023. She claims he allegedly pursued her before they began a relationship.
However, the leaked chats have caused a major stir on social media.

While Shannon Sharpe did not officially make any comments on the matter, everybody is only talking about one side of the story. And many are claiming that the conversation was purposefully done in a way to use it later as evidence.
Here are some of the social media reactions:
“I can’t believe he let this young adult play him like this… look how the conversation going clearly wording things in a certain way,” a fan commented.
“Man idk how much more of this I need to read lol,” another one commented.
“Unc wildin out here,” a third one said.

“Damn unc really possibly just tossed his career,” another comment read.
“Yall so quick to believe hoes when it’s against a black man,” a user wrote.
However, there are additional allegations of violence, with claims that Sharpe threatened her life after she arrived late at his home. It is noted that he initially asked her to sign a non-disclosure agreement before their meetings, but retracted the request after she objected.
