Overview

• In late July, Sharpe and his accuser privately settled the $50 million lawsuit by acknowledging a long-term consensual and tumultuous relationship.
• Buzbee said he never set out to target Sharpe personally and only takes on matters he believes have merit.
• He pointed to his track record from a $500 million Deepwater Horizon verdict to representing accusers of Deshaun Watson, Jay-Z and Diddy.
• Sharpe maintains that an audio clip of him threatening his accuser was a misleading 30-second excerpt from a longer recording.
• The settlement’s confidentiality clause bars further litigation or disclosure and Sharpe remains off ESPN following the suit’s fallout.
