NFL's Shannon Sharpe Still Hasn’t Responded to Sexual Assault Lawsuit

CLARK COUNTY, NEVADA, JUL 6 – Shannon Sharpe has not filed a legal response over two months after the lawsuit alleging sexual assault and emotional distress was filed, delaying court proceedings in Clark County.

  • A hearing on July 9, 2025, in Clark County, Nevada, will review three motions related to the $54 million sexual assault lawsuit against Shannon Sharpe.
  • The lawsuit, filed in April by 20-year-old Gabriella "Gabbi" Zuniga, alleges a rocky, controlling, and abusive relationship and an October 2024 nonconsensual sex incident.
  • Sharpe stepped aside from ESPN duties in April, denied all accusations including rape, called the suit a shake down, and his lawyer said a $10 million settlement offer was made last month.
  • Sharpe’s attorney, Lanny Davis, stated in April that they plan to file a counterclaim, but Sharpe has yet to formally respond, missing the typical 30-day legal response window.
  • The case’s delayed responses and rescheduled motions have raised speculation that Sharpe’s team may be preparing a stronger legal strategy behind the scenes.
