An attorney representing a woman who sued NFL Hall of Famer and ESPN star Shannon Sharpe for alleged sexual assault announced Friday the lawsuit has been settled. 

The attorney, Tony Buzbee, made the announcement in a post on X. 

"On April 20, 2025, The Buzbee Law Firm filed a complaint in Nevada making several allegations against Shannon Sharpe on behalf of our client. Both sides acknowledge a long-term consensual and tumultuous relationship. After protracted and respectful negotiations, I’m pleased to announce that we have reached a mutually agreed upon resolution," Buzbee wrote.

"All matters have now been addressed satisfactorily, and the matter is closed. The lawsuit will thus be dismissed with prejudice."

Sharpe initially called the allegations "false and disruptive" when the lawsuit was filed in April. The woman alleged Sharpe engaged in the intentional infliction of emotional distress and later assaulted her twice, once in October 2024 and in January 2025. 

Sharpe stepped away from his duties at ESPN April 24 but pledged to return by the NFL preseason. He also called the lawsuit a "shakedown" and a "blatant set-up" by Buzbee and the accuser.

NFL HALL OF FAMER SHANNON SHARPE ACCUSED OF SEXUAL ASSAULT, BATTERY IN $50 MILLION LAWSUIT

Sharpe's attorney, Lanny J. Davis, previously revealed a string of text messages that were allegedly from the plaintiff, which he says showed a consensual relationship. Davis claims the relationship involved "fantasy" and "role-playing."

Davis released a lengthy statement, which Sharpe shared on his social media accounts. In the message, Davis shared the sexually explicit messages. 

Sharpe also released a video on X prior to Davis’ news conference in which he called the accuser’s legal action a "shakedown." He also mentioned that Buzbee planned to release an edited sex tape to support his client’s claims. 

"This is a shakedown. I’m going to be open, transparent and defend myself because this isn’t right. This is all being orchestrated by Tony Buzbee," Sharpe said. "Tony Buzbee targets Black men, and I believe he is going to release a 30-second clip of a sex tape that tries to make me look guilty and play into every stereotype you could possibly imagine."

Buzbee released a statement after Sharpe’s video message and Davis’ press conference, confirming the latter’s remarks about the previous proposed settlement. He also denied that any video of the plaintiff was altered, saying Sharpe’s claim was "demonstrably false, but also desperate."

"An incredibly damning video does indeed exist," Buzbee added in his statement. "The contents of that video speak volumes about Mr. Sharpe and his behavior. That video, which will be played to the jury, is extremely problematic for Mr. Sharpe. Sharpe's team, as I anticipated, disclosed the existence of this video in an effort to try and get ahead of it. That effort will fall flat."

Buzbee is well known for negotiating settlements for the women who accused Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson of sexual assault.

Former NFLPA Executive Director Lloyd Howell Jr., who resigned Thursday, reportedly charged the union for two visits to strip clubs. 

Howell, 59, was picked up in a car from Fort Lauderdale International Airport Nov. 2, 2023, and stopped at a nearby Miami Gardens address. A union finance worker looked up the address and discovered it was Tootsie’s Cabaret, according to ESPN’s report. 

Tootsie's Cabaret brands itself as the "Full Nude #1 rated Miami Strip Club."

The driver who dropped Howell off was hired to wait while Howell was inside the strip club. The driver waited seven hours outside before eventually dropping off Howell at his luxury condominium in Sunny Isles Beach around 6 a.m., according to the receipt ESPN obtained. 

During this year’s NFLPA summit, Howell and two union employees went to Magic City, another strip club, according to the report. The trip cost $2,426 after they used two "VIP rooms" with multiple cash withdrawals from $200-$525, according to the report.

In the expense report, Howell’s trip to the strip club was labeled as "Player Engagement Event to support & grow our Union," according to the report. 

The NFLPA told Fox News Digital it had no comment on ESPN's report. 

"It's clear that my leadership has become a distraction to the important work the NFLPA advances every day," Howell said in his resignation statement on Thursday, according to ESPN. 

"For this reason, I have informed the NFLPA Executive Committee that I am stepping down as Executive Director of the NFLPA and Chairman of the Board of NFL Players effective immediately. I hope this will allow the NFLPA to maintain its focus on its player members ahead of the upcoming season."

Howell did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. 

Howell was elected union president in 2024, and he resigned on his own, according to ESPN’s report.
