Shannon Sharpe accused of choking female Fox Sports employee
By ISABEL BALDWIN
Shannon Sharpe is facing fresh allegations of choking a woman, while $50 million rape lawsuit filed by an ex-girlfriend against him continues to intensify.
The 56-year-old is being sued by one of his ex-girlfriends for $50million over claims he repeatedly raped her during the relationship - allegations he vehemently denies after countering that she is merely trying to score a major financial settlement.
While the former NFL tight end continues to contend with the bombshell claims, new allegations from his past have emerged.
Sharpe has been accused of choking a female production assistant in the Fox Sports workplace during his time as a co-host of 'Undisputed' alongside Skip Bayless, according to Front Office Sports.
Sharpe and the network reportedly settled with the accuser for 'several hundred thousand dollars.'
'There was no incident of choking involving Shannon on the FS1 set,' Sharpe's attorneys told DailyMail.com.
'On one occasion, he and a few colleagues were involved in some light physical interaction in a playful context. Fox Sports later chose to resolve the matter privately. For further details, we recommend contacting Fox directly.'
