Shannon Sharpe Reportedly Offered $10 MILLION to Settle Rape Accuser’s Lawsuit

The drama surrounding Shannon Sharpe continues to escalate.

For, the media powerhouse offered a staggering $10 million to settle a sexual assault lawsuit. And the fallout is raising more questions than answers.

Full story below…

What is turning heads isn’t just the lawsuit itself, it’s the claim made during a media call by his attorney, Lanny Davis: Sharpe allegedly offered at least $10 million to make the case go away.

To be clear, a settlement offer doesn’t equal an admission of guilt. Legally, such offers are inadmissible in court for precisely that reason. But in the court of public opinion? That’s another story entirely.

While Sharpe and his legal team continue to deny the allegations, calling them false, fabricated, and even framing the woman’s claims as blackmail, the reality that he was willing to drop eight figures has people asking the obvious question: If it’s all a lie, why settle?

Sharpe’s latest response to the lawsuit is below:
