Shannon Sharpe To Attend NFL Draft Despite $50 Million Sexual Assault Lawsuit Against Him

Shannon Sharpe is still set to attend the NFL Draft, even though there’s a whopping $50 million sexual assault lawsuit against him. Talk about a wild ride!

Now, I am not here to pass judgment or take sides, but let’s get all the facts on the table. Sharpe is facing some serious allegations, but he is still putting things together to show up at one of the biggest events in football. You have to admire his confidence, whether he’s guilty or innocent.

The 56-year-old is being sued by one of his ex-girlfriends for $50million over claims he repeatedly raped her during the relationship – allegations he vehemently denies after countering that she is merely trying to score a major financial settlement.

Yet, despite skipping ESPN’s First Take show Wednesday morning amid the shocking allegations, the former tight end still plans to show his face at Lambeau Field on Thursday to join Chad Ochocinco to co-host a draft night special of their podcast, ‘Nightcap.’

Sharpe and Ochocinco are set to interview NFL legends and new draftees throughout the first round of the draft during a live broadcast of their show, the podcast announced on Instagram on Wednesday.

Since news of the lawsuit first broke on Monday, both the Super Bowl winner and the accuser’s respective attorneys have brought shocking new evidence to light over the past 48 hours, including a text which shows her telling him ‘no means no’ after an alleged rape in January.

Audio footage provided to the Daily Mail Tuesday also captures him threatening to choke the woman who is now suing him, which his lawyer has claimed was ‘in the heat of the moment’ while insisting the violent threat was ‘not intended.’

The accuser claims she was abused by Sharpe over the course of their near one-year relationship, which began when she was 20 and he was 53 back in 2023.

So keep an eye out, folks, because this is going to be one interesting and headline-grabbing event. Whether you’re a fan of Sharpe or not, you can’t deny that this news adds a whole new level of excitement to the draft. We hope that Shannon comes out of these wild allegations clean.
