Shannon Sharpe previously threatened to choke the ex-girlfriend who is now suing him for $50 million over rape accusations, according to newly released audio provided to DailyMail.com by the woman’s attorney.
‘… I’m gonna f***ing choke the s*** out of you when I see you,’ 56-year-old Sharpe is heard telling the woman, identified only as ‘Jane Doe’ in her lawsuit.
DailyMail.com has requested comment from both Sharpe’s attorney and ESPN, where the popular podcaster is a frequent guest on Stephen A. Smith’s ‘First Take.’
Sharpe is denying the rape accusations made by his 20-something ex-girlfriend and has countered with his own claim that she is trying to score a major financial settlement from a consensual relationship. His attorney, Lanny J. Davis, named the accuser in Monday’s statement that also included several sexually explicit text messages she allegedly sent to the popular media personality.
Responding to Sharpe’s denials, plaintiff attorney Tony Buzbee released a statement Tuesday accusing Davis of lying about the accuser and misrepresenting the salacious text messages. Buzbee also claims ‘an incredibly damning video does indeed exist’ and its contents will ‘speak volumes about Mr. Sharp and his behavior.’
Furthermore, Buzbee alleges that Sharpe has already offered his client a ‘hefty sum’ to settle the $50 million lawsuit.

‘A little history,’ Buzbee wrote in his statement. ‘Back in early February, our office contacted Mr. Sharpe on behalf of Jane Doe and broached the subject of a meeting.
‘Multiple conversations took place,’ the statement continued. U’ltimately a mediation occurred. Mr. Sharpe was represented by different lawyers in that mediation. That mediation process went on for more than six weeks, ultimately leading to Mr. Sharpe making an incredibly significant offer to settle. Ultimately Jane Doe refused the hefty sum offered by Sharpe and instead filed this case last night.’
The recording provided to DailyMail.com by Buzbee’s office purportedly contains a conversation between Sharpe and his accuser, who, according to her lawsuit, was only 20 when they began dating in late 2023.
