Shannon Sharpe, NFL Hall of Famer turned television darling, is knee-deep in a scandal that is exploding faster than a champagne bottle in the club.

It is the kind of mess that even the most seasoned publicists would run screaming from. Grab a drink, because this saga has lawsuits, leaked texts, audio threats, and an OnlyFans model with a past that social media detectives uncovered within hours.

Let us dive into the filth.

The Accuser: Gabbi aka “Karli”: From OnlyFans Fame to Courtroom Drama

After Shannon Sharpe publicly dropped her name in a video rant aimed at shutting down what he called a “shakedown,” internet sleuths did what they do best: they found her.

She is known as Gabbi, also going by “Karli,” and she has an online footprint that includes an OnlyFans account that is now being combed over with forensic intensity.

Gabbi filed a $50 million civil lawsuit against Sharpe in Nevada, claiming he raped, abused, and emotionally tortured her during a rocky two-year relationship that she now calls a nightmare.

The kicker? She says the abuse was not just physical. It allegedly included unauthorized filming, blackmail, and terrifying threats to her safety.

Shannon’s Clapback: “Consensual Kink, Not a Crime”

Sharpe is not just fighting back. He is coming out swinging like a man who knows the cameras are rolling.

His high-profile attorney, Lanny Davis, immediately torched the accusations as a “shakedown,” alleging that Gabbi was fully consenting and into very specific sexual scenarios, including being tied up, abused, and humiliated because she asked for it via text.

Receipts? Honey, they have got them.
In a set of screenshots provided by Sharpe’s team, Gabbi allegedly begged Shannon for “rougher” encounters, explicitly requesting physical domination.

According to Sharpe’s legal statement:

“These texts prove the sexual acts were consensual and requested by the plaintiff. This lawsuit is a desperate money grab.”

Enter Tony Buzbee: The Lawyer Sharpe Calls a “Professional Shakedown Artist”

If you thought the plot could not thicken, meet Tony Buzbee, the aggressive attorney representing Gabbi.

Sharpe wasted no time calling out Buzbee, pointing out that this is not his first rodeo suing Black athletes and public figures.

“He targets wealthy Black men,” Sharpe barked during his emotional video statement.

Buzbee, who famously represented multiple women against NFL quarterback Deshaun Watson, brushed off the accusations of racial bias and is standing firm behind his client.
He also released a chilling audio recording where a man alleged to be Sharpe is heard threatening to “choke the sh*t” out of a woman during a heated argument.

Sharpe’s response?

Context matters, and according to him, the recording was selectively edited and does not prove any sexual misconduct.

The Sex Tape Heard ‘Round the World: Sharpe’s Accidental Instagram Livestream

As if Sharpe needed more drama, just days before this lawsuit hit the news, he accidentally livestreamed himself having sex on Instagram.

Yes, really.

Sharpe later claimed he was unfamiliar with Instagram Live’s settings, apologized for the embarrassment, and basically begged the world to forget it ever happened.

Good luck with that.

$10 Million to Make It Go Away? Sharpe Allegedly Made an Offer

According to Reuters, sources close to the situation claim Sharpe quietly offered Gabbi a $10 million settlement to avoid public humiliation.

Her team reportedly turned it down, feeling that the damages, emotional and reputational, were worth far more.

Meanwhile, Sharpe’s camp is furiously denying that any settlement was discussed, accusing Gabbi’s side of leaking false information to pressure him.

Where It Stands Now: A Public Trainwreck With No Brakes

Sharpe has vowed to countersue Gabbi for defamation and what he calls intentional emotional distress.

He insists that he is the victim of a scheme to ruin his career, reputation, and lucrative media deals.

Gabbi, for her part, remains defiant. She is not backing down, and neither is Tony Buzbee, who promises that more evidence is coming, including alleged screenshots, videos, and medical records.

In short: this is just getting started, and it is going to be ugly.
