Shannon Sharpe rape accuser confronted ex-NFL star with ‘no means no’ text

The woman who accused former NFL star and ESPN personality Shannon Sharpe of rape had a text exchange with him earlier this year. In the messages released by Sharpe’s lawyer, she expressed that she did not consent and was upset about the situation. The woman also mentioned specific details about the alleged incident in the texts.

The conversation continued with Sharpe asking if he could call her later, but it is unclear if they discussed the matter further. Sharpe is currently facing a $50 million lawsuit for allegedly raping the woman on two separate occasions and making threats against her.

The lawsuit describes their relationship as tumultuous and accuses Sharpe of various forms of abuse. Sharpe has denied the allegations, and ESPN has declined to comment on the situation.
