Shannon Sharpe exposes Gabriella Zuniga
Shannon Sharpe recently posted an aggressive response to the lawsuit filed against him by a woman identified as Gabriella Zuniga. Sharpe released several graphic text messages stating how the couple had a mutually consensual relationship. Shannon’s lawyer, Lanny J. Davis, labeled the lawsuit as a:
cynical attempt to shake down Mr. Sharpe for millions of dollars.”
Among the messages he shared, one of them dated January 1, 2025, read:
I know u miss this big juicy ass…$25k for each cheek.”
Meanwhile, another message dated January 2024 read:
I wanna put my tongue in your assh*le and then marry u.”
Sharpe’s team stated that these, along with other messages, demonstrate how Zuniga and Sharpe maintained an ongoing and consensual relationship. Davis also claimed that Zuniga even showed Sharpe a video of one of their encounters. Zuniga had allegedly edited the video to make the interaction appear non-consensual. Davis stated:
This was a consensual relationship with mutual participation and communication. The false narrative being pushed by Ms. Zuniga does not match the documented facts.”

Gabriella Zuniga files lawsuit against Shannon Sharpe
Gabriella Zuniga recently filed a lawsuit against Shannon Sharpe in Nevada, alleging multiple complaints and charges. In the lawsuit, Zuniga alleged that Sharpe used coercion and manipulation to maintain control over her throughout their two-year relationship. The complaint further accuses Sharpe of verbally abusing her and filming their sexual interactions without permission.
According to one of the allegations, Sharpe pulled Zuniga into his home before forcing her into oral and anal s*x. Zuniga also stated in the lawsuit how Sharpe refused to use protection during one assault encounter. It further described an incident where Sharpe accidentally livestreamed a s*xual encounter with another woman back in September 2024 which made Zuniga separate herself from Shannon.

Gabriella Zuniga bio
Gabriella Zuniga is a woman who recently went viral following her lawsuit against former NFL star Shannon Sharpe. Despite coming into the public eye, there is little to no information available about her outside the case with her identified as Jane Doe in the case filed. According to incident reports, she was 22 years old back in 2023 when she reportedly met Sharpe at a gym. As such, she is currently likely around 24. Besides that, details about her background and profession remain largely undisclosed.
Gabriella has claimed that Sharpe also recorded their se*ual encounters without her consent and shared the recordings with others with him also making her sign an NDA.
“A woman can say ‘yes’ to consensual s*xual relations with a man ninety-nine times, but when she says ‘no’ even once, that ‘no’ means no,” the complaint reads. “Defendant Shannon Sharpe, a man who is accustomed to getting what he wants, completely fails to understand this basic concept.”
Gabriella now a Nevada resident, says that she met Sharpe when she was 22 years old at a gym in Los Angeles in 2023.
Gabriella Zuniga, also known as Jane Hoe, wanted money from Shannon Sharpe. She lied; she wanted to have sex and engage in other sexual acts with him. I hope he sues her. No one ever forgets an allegation of rape. It's time to make examples of these hoes. #shannonsharp pic.twitter.com/Z5bWZqiVpy
