Shannon Sharpe’s Legal Woes Deepen As More Audio Surfaces
Attorney Tony Buzbee isn’t letting up. The high-profile Houston lawyer, representing Shannon Sharpe’s ex-girlfriend in a $50 million civil rape lawsuit, just dropped some more alleged receipts.
He released a second audio recording… one that’s already lighting up the internet.

This time, the retired NFL star can allegedly be heard telling the woman, “I’m going to choke you in public.” The clip, which has now gone viral, adds fire to a case already packed with disturbing allegations. And just like before, Sharpe claims the audio is taken out of context.
But Attorney Buzbee ain’t buying it. He told press outlets that the new audio “provides a fair picture of the relationship shortly before the alleged assault in this case.” However, he remained tight-lipped on when the audio was recorded.
Inside The New Recording: From LA Travel Talk To Violent Threats
In the audio, things start off casual—Sharpe and the young woman are discussing a potential trip to L.A. She questions why he wants to hit the town, and that’s when things reportedly go left. But Sharpe shifts the tone quick. And before long, we get the disturbing line that has social media in an uproar.
The woman, reportedly 19 years old when this relationship began, is heard pushing back. But Sharpe allegedly dismisses her concerns—before making the choking threat that Buzbee believes is key in proving Sharpe’s history of verbal abuse and controlling behavior.
Civil Suit: The $50 Million Claim Against Shannon Sharpe
As previously reported, the ex-girlfriend—referred to legally as “Jane Doe”—has filed a civil lawsuit accusing Sharpe of rape and repeated threats. She’s seeking $50 million in damages, claiming Sharpe sexually assaulted her twice: once in October 2024, and again in January 2025.
She says the relationship was filled with manipulation and coercion, describing it as “rocky” and emotionally damaging. Despite Sharpe’s fame, she’s stepping into the spotlight, determined to hold him accountable.
Sharpe, on the other hand, issued a fiery denial. In a statement, he called the lawsuit a “blatant and cynical attempt to shake down a wealthy man.” He insists everything between them was consensual and labels her claims as part of a money grab.
Attorney Buzbee’s Strategy: Public Pressure Meets Legal Heat
This isn’t just a court case—it’s becoming a full-blown media storm. Tony Buzbee knows exactly what he’s doing. By releasing this audio to the public, he’s putting pressure on Sharpe in both the court of law and the court of public opinion.
Buzbee has a track record of winning high-profile, high-stakes lawsuits—and he’s making it clear this case is no different. While he hasn’t confirmed when this latest audio was recorded, he made it a point to say that Sharpe’s behavior wasn’t a “one-off.”
According to him, this is a pattern. And this lawsuit? It’s about more than just money—it’s about justice.
