Good news for sports analyst and former NFL star Shannon Sharpe, a $50 million sexual assault lawsuit filed against him in April has officially been dismissed.
The suit was filed by a woman represented by high-profile attorney Tony Buzbee, who initially accused Sharpe of misconduct. However, Buzbee recently released a statement via social media confirming that both parties reached an agreement.
The statement explained that Sharpe and the accuser acknowledged having a long-term, consensual, but tumultuous relationship. All legal matters have now been settled to the satisfaction of both parties, and the case is considered closed.
This news comes as a relief for Sharpe, who has continued his career in broadcasting and podcasting while facing public scrutiny over the case. Fans of Sharpe have been vocal in their support, and many are glad to see the issue resolved without further conflict.
While the details of the settlement remain private, both sides appear to be moving on.
Sharpe has not commented publicly since the dismissal, but is expected to continue business as usual in his media career.
