Shannon Sharpe's accuser in a high-profile $50 million civil lawsuit is widely believed to be Gabriella "Gabbi" Zuniga, a 20-year-old OnlyFans model. The lawsuit, filed in Nevada, alleges that Sharpe sexually assaulted Zuniga during a tumultuous relationship that began in 2023 when she was 19. Zuniga, initially identified only as "Jane Doe" in court documents, claims the relationship involved sexual assault, emotional abuse, and Sharpe secretly recording intimate moments without her consent
. The lawsuit details instances of non-consensual sexual acts and controlling behavior by Sharpe, who has denied all allegations, calling the lawsuit a "shakedown" and asserting the relationship was consensual. Sharpe's legal team has released explicit text messages purportedly from Zuniga that suggest a consensual and sexual nature of their relationship, though the accuser disputes this characterization
. Additionally, another woman named Michele Evans has also accused Sharpe of sexual assault in a separate lawsuit filed in New York in 2023, alleging abuse dating back to 2010
. In summary, Gabriella Zuniga is the primary accuser in the recent lawsuit against Shannon Sharpe, accusing him of sexual assault and abuse during their relationship, while Sharpe denies these claims and maintains the relationship was consensual
