Overview

• Tony Buzbee announced on July 18 that Sharpe and the accuser reached a confidential resolution and the suit will be dismissed with prejudice.
• The accuser, identified as Jane Doe, filed the suit in April in Clark County, Nevada, seeking $50 million for alleged sexual assault, battery and emotional distress stemming from a relationship that began in 2023.
• Sharpe has consistently denied the allegations as a ‘shakedown’ and temporarily stepped away from his role on ESPN’s First Take during the litigation.
• The dismissal with prejudice bars the plaintiff from refiling the same claims under Nevada law, effectively closing the legal dispute.
• Settlement terms remain undisclosed as Sharpe looks to resume his media career and pursue a potential nine-figure podcast deal.
