Shannon Sharpe Accuser’s Lawyer Refuses to Release Key Sex Video Evidence

The legal team representing the woman suing Shannon Sharpe for sexual assault has confirmed they will not release a video described as key evidence in the $50 million lawsuit. Attorney Tony Buzbee, who represents the accuser known publicly as “Jane Doe,” stated that the video will remain confidential and will only be used as evidence in court proceedings.

Buzbee emphasized that the only reason the video’s existence became public knowledge was because Sharpe himself referenced it in a statement following the lawsuit’s filing. According to Buzbee, the video was shown to Sharpe’s legal team during mediation, and Sharpe was offered multiple opportunities to view it himself-but he declined each time.

“No, we won’t be releasing the video as it is key evidence in the case and will be treated as such,” Buzbee told reporters.
“Sharpe himself was offered on more than one occasion to view it himself. He declined. We’ve never made any claims or threats about it and won’t do so.”

Sharpe has publicly denied all allegations, calling the lawsuit a “shakedown” and describing the video as a heavily edited 30-second clip designed to make him look guilty. He claims the full recording is closer to ten minutes and has challenged Buzbee to release the entire unedited version, which Buzbee refuses to do18.

Legal analysts note that Sharpe’s refusal to view the video could be seen as a risky move in a civil case, potentially affecting how a jury perceives his credibility7. However, Sharpe and his legal team maintain that the relationship with the accuser was consensual and that the lawsuit is an attempt to damage his reputation and extort money.

While the case continues to unfold, both parties remain firm in their positions: the accuser’s team insists on keeping the video private as evidence, and Sharpe continues to publicly defend himself against what he calls false and disruptive allegations.
