Shannon Sharpe accuser shares alleged call with ESPN star: ‘Choke the s–t out of you’

Shannon Sharpe accuser shares alleged call with ESPN star: ‘Choke the s–t out of you’

Alleged audio of an explicit conversation between Shannon Sharpe and the woman accusing him of rape in a bombshell $50 million lawsuit has been released, with the ESPN personality appearing to state, “I’m going to f–king choke the s–t out of you.”

In the apparent exchange shared by the woman that was obtained Tuesday by The Post, the plaintiff, identified as Jane Doe in legal docs, is heard on the call saying, “Anything I say you’re just going to get mad at and you’re just going to hang up on me, so I feel like…,” before Sharpe allegedly replies, “I’m not going to hang up on you, it is what it is.”

When the woman counters, “What does that even mean?” she’s met with a response of, “Nothing yet. …You want to be a d–k to me now, so.”

As the woman fires back, “I don’t want to be, don’t manipulate me,” Sharpe appears to mutter a phrase before the conversation takes a vulgar turn.

“If you say that word one more time, I’m going to f–king choke the s–t out of you when I see you,” he said.

There is a lengthy pause before Sharpe, 56, seemingly speaks again.

The gap continues before the woman eventually says, “I don’t want to be choked…”

“Yes, you do,” Sharpe allegedly states in response. “I don’t think you have a choice in the matter.”

The release of the audio comes one day after Sharpe denied “all allegations of coercion or misconduct,” according to a statement released by his attorney, Lanny J. Davis.

Alleged text exchanges between the former NFL тιԍнт end and his accuser were also released Monday by his legal team, with the woman allegedly telling Sharpe to “put a dog collar around my neck.”

The woman’s attorney, Tony Buzbee, said how “each text released occurred before the alleged rape at issue in the case,” and the “attached audio reveals the nature of Sharpe’s relationship with Jane Doe immediately prior to the alleged ᴀssault.”

The complaint, filed Sunday in Nevada, accuses Sharpe of Sєxual ᴀssault, battery and Sєxual battery.

He is also alleged to have engaged in the intentional infliction of emotional distress during a “rocky consensual relationship” that lasted close to two years.
