Sharpe has denied the allegations in the lawsuit and plans to launch a countersuit targeting the plaintiff and her lawyer, Tony Buzbee, who has attempted to sue other public figures such as Jay-Z and Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Tony Buzbee and Shannon Sharpe are at odds regarding a suit filed by Buzbee's client against Sharpe for sexual assault. vv

Buzbee called Sharpe's attorney's claims about an edited sex tape "desperate," and around the same time, Sharpe shared a video post saying, "Tony Buzbee targets Black men."
