Audio of Shannon Sharpe Leaks Amid Sexual Assault Lawsuit: “Put That Baby Gravy In Me”

Last updated on May 1, 2025 @ 2:31 PM PT Former NFL star and current sports commentator Shannon Sharpe is facing serious legal trouble as details emerge from a sexual assault lawsuit filed against him. The case, which shares the same legal team as the ongoing litigation against Sean “Diddy” Combs, involves allegations from a woman identified only as Jane Doe.

The Relationship Timeline

According to the lawsuit, the relationship between Sharpe and Jane Doe began in 2023 at a California gym. Sharpe, then 54, allegedly pursued the 19-year-old woman persistently despite her initial lack of interest. He reportedly proposed a fitness challenge, offering to pay for breast augmentation surgery if she won their contest to see who could get the leanest. The lawsuit claims that eventually, the two began a consensual intimate relationship. However, the relationship allegedly took a troubling turn when Sharpe began recording their intimate activities—sometimes with permission, but other times without consent, according to the filing.

The Instagram Live Incident

A significant development in the case came in September 2024, when Sharpe was reportedly caught on Instagram Live engaging in intimate activities with someone else. This public mishap seemingly created tension in the relationship with Jane Doe.

Allegations of Sexual Assault

The lawsuit details multiple alleged incidents of sexual assault:

1. In October 2024, at a gym in Nevada, Sharpe allegedly approached Jane Doe aggressively, telling her to “sit down” before threatening her. Later, at her apartment, he allegedly sexually assaulted her despite her refusal.
2. In January 2025, Sharpe allegedly entered Jane Doe’s apartment under the pretense of delivering a combined Christmas and birthday gift. According to the filing, he began undressing, refused to use protection despite her requests, and sexually assaulted her again.

Leaked Audio and Text Messages

Recently leaked audio and text messages have added another dimension to the case. In one recording, Sharpe can allegedly be heard making aggressive statements. However, text messages purportedly from Jane Doe to Sharpe reveal explicit communications that may complicate the case. These messages allegedly show Jane Doe requesting rough intimate interactions, using explicit language, and engaging in role-playing scenarios. Some of the messages reportedly include requests for dominant behavior and references to “50 Shades” type activities. One message allegedly states, “Only if you put that baby gravy in me, then you can do whatever you want to me,” suggesting a desire for pregnancy.

Legal Challenges for Both Parties

Legal analysts point to several challenges in this case:

1. The significant age gap between Sharpe (54) and Jane Doe (19) may influence jurors, particularly those who are parents.
2. The power dynamic between a famous athlete and a young woman raises concerns.
3. Sharpe’s alleged recording of intimate activities without consent could be problematic legally.
4. The explicit text messages from Jane Doe may provide context that complicates her claims of unwanted advances.

Jane Doe is reportedly seeking $50 million in damages, which some legal observers suggest could be viewed as a potential motive in questioning the allegations.
