Shannon Sharpe‘s accuser’s lawyer has launched new audio in which you’ll be able to hear the ESPN commentator threatening to choke the girl in public — however the Professional Soccer Corridor of Famer’s group is adamant it isn’t what it feels like.

Lawyer Tony Buzbee dropped the file Wednesday morning and issued an announcement, saying Sharpe’s assaults on him and his “Jane Doe” consumer had been a “huge, silly mistake.”

Buzbee goes on to say the audio “offers a good image of the connection shortly earlier than the alleged assault on this case,” though he has not stated when it was recorded.

The clip begins off whereas the 2 are apparently in the course of a cellphone name, with Sharpe’s accuser asking the previous NFL star if he is coming to Los Angeles, and he confirms he’s.

Then the accuser, who was allegedly 19 on the time she met Sharpe, says she would not know why Sharpe — who was in his mid-50s — would wish to exit in town. Sharpe tells her to not fear, and the dialog quickly turns to her getting choked.

She tells Sharpe she has no real interest in being choked — however Sharpe appears to disregard her. He says … “I would choke you in public … huge Black man chokes small white girl.”

She responds that “it isn’t look” … prompting Sharpe to accuse her of doing one thing to him, nevertheless it’s not clear what that’s. The dialogue ends with Sharpe asking, “Nicely, what?”

Sharpe’s authorized group insists conversations of this nature had been frequent of their relationship and do not point out critical threats of violence. They level to a textual content message — which they are saying was despatched by Doe to Sharpe in October 2023 — that reveals Doe asking Sharpe “to place a canine collar round my neck and choke me with it whereas ur f***ing me.”

A rep for Sharpe added … “This can be a very small excerpt with no date or context hooked up to it.”

As … Doe filed a lawsuit Sunday claiming Sharpe raped her in late 2024 and early 2025.

Sharpe stated he was planning on suing the accuser for defamation, and his legal professional, Lanny J. Davis, held a press convention Tuesday, denying his consumer did something flawed and releasing a bunch of textual content messages, claiming they “present that she likes and asks for fantasy position taking part in and different types of uncommon sexual conduct.”
