Shannon Sharpe to rape accuser in new recording: I might choke you in public

Shannon Sharpe threatened to choke his rape accuser in public in a new audio clip released by the Jane Doe’s lawyer, Tony Buzbee, to TMZ on Wednesday.During the clip, Sharpe says he’s going to Los Angeles.The accuser says she doesn’t know why Sharpe would want to go out, to which he responds not to worry.When the accuser then says she doesn’t want to be choked, Sharpe replies, “I might choke you in public.”After a pause, Sharpe adds, “Big black guy chokes small white woman.”“It’s not a good look, Shannon,” the accuser responds.

Sharpe then accused the woman of doing something to him, though it’s unclear what that is.Sharpe has denied the allegations laid out in a $50 million civil lawsuit — in which the woman accused Sharpe of raping her in late 2024 and early 2025 — and his attorney, Lanny J.Davis, has released a series of texts allegedly from the accuser that he claims depict a consensual relationship that included “role-playing” and “fantasy.”Sharpe’s team insisted to TMZ that conversations like this were a normal part of the relationship and not an actual threat.One alleged text from the accuser in October 2023 says, “I want you to put a dog collar around my neck and choke me with it while you’re f–king me.”Davis said Tuesday that Sharpe and the accuser were close to a settlement worth “at least $10 million” before she backed out....
