Lawyer Confirms Shannon Sharpe Accuser's Sex Tape Won't Be Released

Shannon Sharpe is facing a $50 million lawsuit from a woman known as Jane Doe, who accuses him of rape during the last months of their nearly two-year relationship. A central piece of evidence in the case is an alleged sex tape, which both Sharpe and Jane Doe's lawyer, Tony Buzbee, confirm exists. Buzbee has stated the video will not be released publicly, calling it 'key evidence,' and asserted the only reason its existence is known is because Sharpe referenced it in a public statement. Sharpe has denied the allegations, claiming the lawsuit is an extortion attempt and that the encounter was consensual, also challenging Buzbee to release the full video for context. Buzbee maintains that neither he nor his client has made threats regarding the tape and emphasizes that it has been shared only with Sharpe’s legal team during mediation. The case has generated significant public attention, but the disputed video and other evidence are likely to remain private until addressed in court.
