The news as it trends.

NFL Hall of Famer and media personality Shannon Sharpe has officially settled a $50 million civil lawsuit filed by an OnlyFans model who accused him of sexual assault and emotional abuse.

The case, filed in Nevada in April 2025, was dismissed with prejudice on July 18, meaning it cannot be refiled.

Both parties acknowledged a long-term, consensual but tumultuous relationship, and reached a mutually agreed resolution after weeks of negotiation.

While the exact terms remain confidential, legal experts suggest a financial settlement was likely involved.

Sharpe has maintained his innocence throughout, calling the lawsuit a “shakedown.”

With the matter now closed, attention turns to whether he’ll return to ESPN and reclaim his media spotlight.
