The snowball of allegations against the temple of fame, Shannon Sharpe, develops. And his lawyers talked about the last statement to reveal themselves.
As explained by The US sunMichele Bundy Evans continued Sharpe in 2023. She claims to defam on the basis of things that Sharpe would have said after having obtained a ban on a ban against him over ten years ago. The article includes the graphic details of an alleged sexual assault of Evans by Sharpe in 2010.
The Evans trial prompted Sharpe’s legal team to publish another declaration.
“It should not be surprising that when someone famous is in the news, all kinds of people go out of the woodwork to share their link with this person in order to take advantage of this alleged relationship,” said lawyer Mitchell Schuster in the press release. “In many cases, these stories or accusations are nothing more than old news, fanciful exaggerations, or sometimes false statements of fact. They are shared on social networks or nourished to journalists with intentional factual omissions and no consideration for the truth. This is obviously useful, designed to create a manufactured narration. This is exactly what is happening in Shannon Sharpe and the resurrection of the case involving Michelle expressions. Evans became obsessed with Shannon and decided to make a complaint against him.
The Evans trial was mentioned in the last trial against Sharpe, which was filed on April 20, 2025. The name and number of the Evans case were included in a footnote on page 4 of the new complaint.
“Following the traces of Ms. Evan, Gabi A / K / A Karli is the last person who tries to exploit his connection with Shannon,” Schuster said in the press release. “From the start, Shannon was clearly clearly on the nature of his relationship with Gabi Zuniga. For more clarity, let me repeat its position. Shannon and Gabi have embarked on a consensual sex over a period of 2 years. When she learned that she would not have skipped a child with her, she used to extort. Many high -level individuals often do so when they are threatened, this is no longer the case.
AgainIt is one thing to offer “a summary sum of money” (lawyer Lanny Davis said that he was “at least $ 10 million”) to neutralize an alleged extortion threat. There is undoubtedly another to publicly declare that a substantial amount of money has been offered.
“At the end of the line,” said Schuster in the press release, “Shannon did nothing wrong and intends to fight against these malicious lies not in the manufactured defenses or imaginary stories but with documentary proof and real proofs.
Schuster’s declaration also repels the perception that ESPN has initiated the recent release of Sharpe de First catch.
“To avoid any doubt, Shannon Sharpe was not dismissed by ESPN, but he chose to move away during a temporary period of his duties so that he can focus on his family and the frivolous complaint filed against him,” said Schuster. “ESPN agreed with his decision and Shannon plans to resume his role at ESPN for the NFL season.”
As Andrew Marchand of Theathletic.com noted, Sharpe’s position according to which he temporarily left If he continues to generate podcasts.
“(H) e is only four hours a week,” wrote Marchand. “Let’s say that he did a few hours of preparation for a few hours of preparation – what are we talking about? 10 hours? 15? It looks like there is room to fight against allegations and discuss the legacy of LeBron James. His podcast takes much more time during his week.”
These press statements and lectures of the Sharpe legal team seem to aim to win the battle before the Court of Public Opinion. And the most important jurors of the Public Opinion Court will be the people who pay Sharpe directly for the generation of content.
Whether it is ESPN or anyone who could (and could still) sign Sharpe to a nine -digit podcast agreement, current efforts seem to be concentrated not on the guarantee of a favorable verdict before the courts but on the guarantee that the sauce train will remain on the right track.
