What is going on with Shannon Sharp? What do you know? And so we're going to introduce his attorney and we're going to find out in just moments. OK, so good evening.
Welcome to the program. Appreciate you joining us. Do we have a show for you today? In case you missed our hot topics this morning, I want to quickly catch you up on the Shannon Sharp. It's the Super Bowl champion and host of Club Shea Shea. He's been accused of sexual assault in a Nevada lawsuit. OK, that's who was brought by a woman who alleges that Sharp used his fame to, quote, manipulate, control. These are her words and subjugate and violate women. The accuser was 19 years old at the time when she met sharp. That was back in 2023 says in a legal filing that the pair had a nearly two year relationship during which time Mr. Sharp was quote aggressive and allegedly, um, violated her raped her okay that's what she's alleging so mr sharp has denied the allegations and said that he is a target of a shakedown so let's bring in shannon sharp's attorney uh the famed lanny davis who's represented all just just a number of high profile people and i've worked with lanny um for years at least interviewing him um for clients that he and the stories that he's been involved in lanny thank you for joining us thank you don
So, Lani, what is going on here? Because we have you know what has happened. She's accused him. I read that you have these this salacious text messages. You've got the phone calls and we'll play some of that in a minute. But where are we? And then we have the breaking news that he is stepping aside from ESPN. So where are we? What is going on here?
Well, let me at least add to the words stepping aside and start with that. And then I'll answer your question if you don't mind, Don. He's stepping aside. He's elected to step aside to take care of his family and to deal with this blackmail filled with lies by this individual who uses OnlyFans to make money. and to act out in role playing. But the reason that's relevant is that we are going to counter claim and file suit against her. She will be under oath and we will show that what I'm saying is true. She's lying about anything other than consensual sex. There was never anything but consensual sex. The reason we sent out her own words, her own text messages, is that she often asked for rough sex.
What is the Shannon Sharpe scandal and how did it break in the media?
In a text message that we just recently put online, she said, I want to be in a dog collar. Daddy, I want your black babies. She has been role playing on Oling fans. She was role playing and asked for this with Mr. Shannon Sharp. So we are going to prove this in court when we sue her in a counterclaim. But I'm saying on the record, she's lying. We have evidence of her lies from her own words and what she was asking for in the text messages. But we will prove affirmatively what Shannon Sharp said on his Instagram account. He's innocent. There was never a moment of other than consensual sex. And this is about blackmail and a shakedown scheme.
OK, so people are dialing in at every second, as you know, and streaming. That's what Shannon does. I'm sure you're very aware of it. So we have more people joining us. So I just want to say that we are joined by famed attorney Lanny Davis, who is attorney for Shannon Sharp. Shannon Sharp's attorney. You guys misspelled attorney. Shannon Sharks' attorney, so we can take it down and put it up, speaks. Okay, so Lanny, the fact that she works for OnlyFans, does that somehow undermine her credibility?
