Shannon Sharpe settles sexual assault and battery lawsuit, accuser's attorney says
Pro Football Hall of Famer and media personality Shannon Sharpe settled a lawsuit on July 18, ending a $50 million civil lawsuit that accused him of sexual assault and battery, his attorney said. Tony Buzbee, the attorney for the woman identified as "Jane Doe" in the lawsuit, announced that the sides reached a resolution and the case would be dismissed. "On April 20, 2025, The Buzbee Law Firm filed a complaint in Nevada making several allegations against Shannon Sharpe on behalf of our client," Buzbee said in a statement on X. "Both sides acknowledge a long-term consensual and tumultuous relationship. After protracted and respectful negotiations, I'm pleased to announce that we have reached a mutually agreed upon resolution. All matters have now been addressed satisfactorily, and the matter is closed. The lawsuit will thus be dismissed with prejudice." Buzbee did not release any details of the arrangement. The case was initially filed in April after the woman alleged that Sharpe engaged in the intentional infliction of emotional distress and later assaulted her twice, once in October 2024 and in January 2025. She said that Sharpe became violent over the course of their relationship and recorded their sexual encounters without her consent. The Hall of Fame tight end stepped away from making appearances on ESPN in April, but pledged to return to the network for start of the NFL preseason. He has maintained his innocence throughout the process, saying the relationship was 100% consensual. The 57-year-old called the lawsuit a "shakedown" and a "blatant set-up" by Buzbee and the accuser. Buzbee was famously part of the legal team that won settlements against Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson following sexual misconduct accusations from more than two dozen massage therapists. While Sharpe has continued with his podcast, "Club Shay Shay," during the case, it's unclear at this time if he will return to ESPN. All the NFL news on and off the field.

Congrats! Coco Jones And NBA Star Donovan Mitchell Announce Engagement
Source: Bennett Raglin / Getty Love is in the air, and R&B singer Coco Jones and Cleveland Cavaliers star Donovan Mitchell have plenty of reasons to enjoy summer, as the couple has officially announced their engagement. On Friday, July 11, Jones posted a photo of the newly engaged pair sharing a kiss against a sun-covered backdrop, as her left hand rested on his chest prominently showing off her sparkling diamond engagement ring. In a joint statement to PEOPLE , reps for the couple expanded upon the happy news. 'After an amazing season and a sold-out tour, Donovan Mitchell and Coco Jones took a moment to recharge on vacation, which turned it into a beautiful engagement,' the statement began. 'The couple has been dating for two years and look forward to building a life together,' the statement concluded. As of now, the pair have not yet announced a wedding date or any subsequent wedding plans. Jones has kept the details of her relationship with Mitchell relatively private. In April, when asked about her relationship during an interview with The Breakfast Club , she kept it simple, replying 'I'm happy and that's all I got to say about it.' Two months earlier, in February, the Grammy winner told Shannon Sharpe while appearing on Club Shay Shay that she likes to keep the details of her relationship to herself. 'I love the internet because they definitely clocked my tea. I love that. Little spies everywhere. I feel like I'm in a detective movie,' she said. But you know what, I'm happy. And I will say my music is the outlet that I use to tell most of my stories and my truth, and some things I keep for myself 'cause this is my life, too.' 'I think, for me, I'm trying to protect myself, and I'm trying to protect my family and whoever I love. So, yeah, I am more private,' Jones added. Congrats to the beautiful couple. SEE ALSO Congrats!

Why Mark Cuban chose cheaper Kia EV6 over Elon Musk's Tesla electric car
Mark Cuban criticises Elon Musk Live Events (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel Billionaire investor Mark Cuban expressed his dislike for Tesla's design elements. During his appearance on "Your Mom's House" podcast in March, when questioned about his preferred vehicle, Cuban, a Tesla owner, surprisingly answered "A Kia. EV6." He additionally stated "I like it. I'm comfortable with it."Whilst still retaining his Tesla ownership, Cuban elaborated: "On the Tesla you've got to find [the turn signal] and push the button… while you're driving. You can't pay attention to the road as much."Speaking favourably about Kia, he remarked: "It doesn't try to be too fancy. Your turn signal is like… a turn signal".Although Cuban is content driving a less expensive Kia EV6, his 15-year-old son disapproves. When Cuban proposed passing down the vehicle for driving practice, his son immediately refused, stating, "It's not cool, Dad." He labelled it a "nerd car." Cuban's reply? "Exactly," he said, accepting the frequently critiques Elon Musk. In an appearance on the "Club Shay Shay" podcast this year, he acknowledged enjoying provoking Musk because he has "really thin skin and it just makes it easy."In a separate discussion this year, Cuban stated "I have no problem throwing Elon under the bus, but I'll save it for when it's truly deserved."Last year, following Musk's request for users to share more constructive content on X, Cuban responded swiftly. "Please post a bit more positive, beautiful or informative content on this platform," the Tesla CEO wrote. Cuban replied "You first".Cuban recently shared a story from an evening at COMDEX, a significant technology exhibition in Las Vegas, where Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates overshadowed him. Cuban described speaking with several women who subsequently departed with Gates, who had recently taken Microsoft public and was becoming prominent in technology. Cuban humorously noted that Bill Gates attracted away "his girls."

"After that, I never saw my Iversons again" - Bow Wow recalls his unfortunate first meeting with MJ
American rapper Shad Gregory "Bow Wow" Moss is known for his role in the 2002 film "Like Mike." In that movie, Moss plays Calvin Cambridge, a 13-year-old orphan who became an NBA superstar after acquiring Michael Jordan's skills from wearing an old pair of sneakers that once belonged to Mike. In real life, however, it was different. Although he grew up close to MJ's son Marcus, Bow Wow resonated with Philadelphia 76ers superstar Allen Iverson mainly because of A.I.'s diminutive stature and hip-hop persona. That got Shad in trouble during his first meeting with Mr. Jordan. "I wore Reeboks at the house. I wore some Iversons. That was my guy. After Marcus' dad retired, A.I. was my man. The tatt, the braid, I just saw me. So I'm in the house of the Iversons," said Moss during his recent appearance on "Club Shay Shay." Bow Wow started his entertainment career at the age of six when he was discovered by Snoop Dogg. As "Li'l Bow Wow," he released his first album at the age of 13 in 2000. A year later, Moss became the featured performer of the "Scream Tour," which ran every summer from 2001-2012. Every time the tour hit Chicago, Bow would hit up with Marcus and he would stay at the Jordan's 56,000-square foot mansion in Highland Park. Unfortunately, his buddy did not give him the memo on what footwear is allowed in MJ's presence. "And so me and Marcus, in his room, we wake up in the morning," recalled Bow Wow. "I can see that door crack open like a father, like a real dad. "Hey, whose bullsh** is this?" And Marcus was like, 'I don't know, you already know it, don't even look at me.' I'm on the floor sleeping, and I'm like, "Huh?" He like, 'This yours, Bow?' and I'm like, 'Yeah.' Sh** is going in the trash...'Michael, man, get this little man some kicks.' Man, after that, I never saw my Iversons again. Threw my Iversons away, gone." Bow Wow was not the only one who lost his beloved pair of shoes inside the hallowed halls of the Jordan residence. Mike's footwear rule applied to everyone who stepped inside his abode, including his children. "His Airness" did not even make an exception for the Jordan princess - his only daughter Jasmine, who once told the story of her dad trashing her favorite Skechers shoes. "It didn't matter what pair they were. It didn't matter who bought them. If they were in his house and they were on my feet, by the next day, they were in the trash," said Jasmine. "I used to beg him, 'Please, let me get the light-up Skechers!' Or the shoes with the wheels. He would let me wear them for a day, then the next day they would end up in the trash." The Air Jordan shoe isn't just the most successful basketball shoe of all time. It's part of the Jordan mystique. And for MJ, no other shoe or brand deserves to take a single step inside his property. That policy is non-negotiable.

Could Shannon Sharpe go broke? What happens if he loses the sexual assault case? Breaking down the fallout of a $50M lawsuit
Kirby Lee/Image of Sport-USA TODAY Sports Shannon Sharpe is no stranger to headlines, but this time, the stakes are higher than ever. The former NFL tight end and media powerhouse is facing a $50 million lawsuit alleging sexual assault. While the legal process is still unfolding and no judgment has been made, the sheer size of the lawsuit has left fans and observers asking one big question: what happens if Sharpe loses? What the $50 million lawsuit could do to Shannon Sharpe's net worth According to various outlets, Sharpe's net worth is estimated at around $14 million. A $50 million payout would dwarf that amount, likely wiping out his current assets and forcing him into major financial restructuring. If found liable, Sharpe could face asset liquidation, garnishment of future earnings, or even bankruptcy proceedings. Unless a settlement is reached for a significantly smaller amount, the financial hit could be devastating. — burackbobby_ (@burackbobby_) by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like How can a 3-month-old get cancer? Please help! Give Hope India Donate Now Undo Sharpe has spent years building up his wealth through broadcasting, endorsements, and podcast ventures. All of that could be undone by a single court decision. Reputation damage: What this could mean for his media career Sharpe is a major face at ESPN on First Take , co-hosts the Nightcap podcast with Chad Johnson, and runs the viral interview platform Club Shay Shay . All of these rely on public perception. If he loses the case, there's a very real chance that sponsors and media platforms will cut ties or quietly remove him from the spotlight. Even the mere association with a guilty verdict in a high-profile assault case can lead to lasting damage. In the media world, trust and relatability are everything, and a courtroom loss could be a career-ender. Sharpe also launched his own liquor brand, Le Portier, and has a growing presence in merchandising and content branding. These ventures are based on his personal brand, something that becomes incredibly fragile in the face of controversy. Public-facing brands often react quickly to legal findings, especially in cases involving sexual misconduct. If Sharpe loses, Le Portier and Club Shay Shay merchandise may be shelved by distributors or quietly pulled from online stores. Partnering companies won't want to risk backlash by staying affiliated. The long-term fallout if the verdict isn't in his favor A courtroom loss doesn't just cost money, it reshapes legacies. Sharpe is a Pro Football Hall of Famer, a beloved sports personality, and a media mogul in the making. But legal guilt in a case like this could overshadow all of it. Future roles with the NFL, broadcasting networks, or as a public speaker may vanish. Even endorsements or partnerships unrelated to the case could disappear. In today's cultural climate, reputational redemption can take years and it isn't guaranteed. Also read - Who is Gabriella Zuniga? The OnlyFans star who sued Shannon Sharpe
