NFL Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe faces a $50 million lawsuit from a woman known as 'Jane Doe'. She accuses him of rape and sexual battery. Sharpe denies the allegations and calls them a 'shakedown'.
The lawsuit claims Sharpe and Jane Doe had a two-year relationship that started as consensual. But Jane Doe says Sharpe later caused intentional emotional distress, recorded their sexual encounters without consent, and shared these recordings. She also accuses him of controlling behavior.
Jane Doe alleges Sharpe threatened her life when he found out she tried to share her location with friends. She claims he said, "I will f***ing kill you."
Sharpe's team tried to settle the case for at least $10 million, but Jane Doe turned down the offer. Sharpe criticizes the motives of Jane Doe's attorney, Tony Buzbee.
In a separate incident, boxer Terence Crawford nearly got into a physical altercation with Sharpe. The details of this encounter remain unclear.
Crawford's focus now turns to his upcoming fight with Canelo Álvarez on September 13th at T-Mobile Arena. The bout pits the undisputed super middleweight champion against the pound-for-pound wizard in a legacy-defining superfight.
For Canelo, the fight offers a chance to silence critics who say he avoids elite southpaws. Crawford aims to become a four-division champion. Fans can expect to see Canelo's thunderous body attacks and granite chin against Crawford's flawless footwork and lightning combinations.
The boxing world waits with bated breath for this highly anticipated match-up between two of the sport's biggest stars.
