Gabriella Zuniga Ends OnlyFans Career After Settlement
Content creator Gabriella Zuniga, known for her presence on the subscription platform OnlyFans, has officially announced her retirement from the platform following a legal battle and subsequent settlement with former NFL player Shannon Sharpe. The announcement came through a post on Instagram, which has since been removed, where Zuniga expressed gratitude towards her supporters and hinted at future projects.
Details of the Legal Dispute
In April 2025, Zuniga, who was initially referred to as Jane Doe in legal documents, filed a lawsuit against Sharpe seeking $50 million in damages, citing allegations of sexual assault. The legal proceedings garnered significant public and media attention when Sharpe’s attorneys from Lanny J. Davis & Associates revealed Zuniga's identity, a move that escalated the case's visibility.
Settlement Reached Between Zuniga and Sharpe
Zuniga’s legal representative, Tony Buzbee, disclosed last week that a settlement had been reached, the details of which remain undisclosed. Buzbee shared on his Twitter account, "I am pleased to announce that we have reached a mutually agreed upon resolution. All matters have now been addressed satisfactorily, and the matter is closed." This statement confirmed the end of the legal dispute between Zuniga and Sharpe.
Zuniga’s Statement and Future Plans
Following the settlement, Zuniga decided to step away from OnlyFans, a platform that significantly shaped her public persona and career. "Today, I have decided to retire from OF. Thank you for the incredible support you've shown me over the past few years," Zuniga stated in her Instagram post. She further added, "This community has given me a life I could have never imagined. I'll still be active on social media and have several new projects in the works that I can't wait to share. I'm truly excited for this next chapter. I love you all forever and ever."
Public and Media Reaction
The news of the lawsuit and Zuniga's subsequent retirement decision have prompted diverse reactions across social media platforms, reflecting the controversial nature of the case. Meanwhile, Shannon Sharpe has maintained his innocence throughout the proceedings. His legal team asserted that the allegations were "a blatant and cynical attempt to shake down Mr. Sharpe for millions of dollars," and plagued with "lies, distortions, and misrepresentations." Sharpe himself has yet to make a public statement regarding the settlement.
