Former NFL star-turned media personality Shannon Sharpe and the woman who accused him of sexual assault have settled their civil case, according to the accuser’s lawyer.
Tony Buzbee made the announcement on Instagram, months after his client, identified as Jane Doe, made the disturbing bombshell allegations against the NFL Hall of Famer, podcast host and ESPN contributor.
“After protracted and respectful negotiations, I’m pleased to announce that we have reached a mutually agreed upon resolution,” Buzbee wrote. “All matters have now been addressed satisfactorily, and the matter is closed. The lawsuit will thus be dismissed with prejudice.”
Sharpe staunchly denied the allegations made by Doe in April in which she claimed he sexually assaulted and abused her as part of their years-long relationship.
