The lawsuit, filed in Clark County, Nevada, on Sunday, is seeking $50 million in damages from Sharpe. The woman who filed the lawsuit is listed as “Jane Doe.”

Tony Buzbee, the attorney representing the woman, who has preferred to remain anonymous, has been involved with many other high-profile cases. Notably, he was involved in the major Deshaun Watson civil suit which dominated headlines for quite some time.

Sharpe addressed the accusations in a video posted to X, where he denies the allegations.

In his statement, Sharpe vows to sue the plaintiff and Buzbee for defamation.

He also hosts a podcast with former NFL player Chad Ochocinco called Nightcap.
