Shannon Sharpe has seen his personal life take center stage over the last few days. He is currently facing a $50 million lawsuit after being accused of rape, assault, sexual assault, and more. While Sharpe has vehemently denied the accusations, a disturbing recording has been leaked to the public.
“I’m Going To F***ing Choke You” Shannon Sharpe Sees Unkown Recording Released From Rape Accuser (Report)
Lanny J. Davis, Sharpe’s attorney, has pledged to address the following audio. However, it does not sound very good:
The woman accusing Shannon Sharpe of rape has now released audio of a conversation she says she had with the Pro Football Hall of Famer … and in it, Sharpe can be heard telling her he’s “going to f***ing choke the shit out” of her.
Jane Doe’s attorney, Tony Buzbee, sent TMZ Sports the 1:36 minute clip on Tuesday … alleging the convo took place at some point toward the end of his client’s relationship with the ESPN personality.
The two appear to be in a dispute during the talk — and it escalates further when Doe asks Sharpe to not “manipulate” her.
“Oh, Lord have mercy,” Sharpe can be heard saying in response to Doe. “If you say that word one more time, I’m going to f***ing choke the s*** out of you when I see you.”
A long pause ensues … and the woman then tells Sharpe “I don’t want to be choked,” but Sharpe can be heard replying, “Yes, you do. I don’t think you have a choice in the matter.”
The context of the conversation is not clear. The parties purportedly had a history of using graphic language showing a consensual dominant/subservient relationship.
Text messages Sharpe’s attorney shared on Monday showed the woman did once ask him to “put a dog collar around my neck and choke [her] with it while ur f***ing me.” It’s also clear Buzbee did not provide us with the entire audio and it’s impossible to tell what else might be on the recording.
While we can’t post the full audio due to the graphic content, it can be watched here.
