NFL Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe is speaking out amid explosive allegations involving a lawsuit and threats of a leaked sex tape. Sharpe claims he’s being blackmailed by Gabriella Zuniga, an OnlyFans model who has accused him of rape and is reportedly demanding $50 million in damages.
The former football star took to Instagram to defend himself and share his version of events, directly calling the lawsuit a “shakedown.” Sharpe asserted that Zuniga, along with her attorney Tony Buzbee, is attempting to damage his reputation by threatening to release a brief, edited clip from a private recording they allegedly made together.
“This is nothing more than extortion,” Sharpe said in a candid video post. He warned his followers that Buzbee, who is already in the media spotlight for filing high-profile lawsuits involving Jay-Z and Diddy, is planning to leak a 30-second snippet designed to manipulate public perception.
Sharpe, now 56, acknowledged the existence of the video but emphasized that the clip being threatened for release doesn’t tell the full story. “It’s heavily edited,” he said. “If you’re going to release it, release the entire footage—not just the part that fits your narrative.”
Directly addressing Buzbee, Sharpe added: “If I had the video, I’d release it myself. But since I don’t, I challenge you—put the whole thing out there.”
