OnlyFans Creator Announces Retirement Amid Legal Settlement
The accuser in the sexual assault case involving Shannon Sharpe has declared her retirement from OnlyFans, signaling the end of her association with the widely-used content subscription platform. In a statement shared on her now-deleted Instagram post, she expressed deep gratitude towards her audience, stating, "Today, I have decided to retire from OF. Thank you for the incredible support you've shown me over the past few years. This community has given me a life I could have never imagined." She additionally hinted at continuing her engagement with her followers through other social media outlets and upcoming projects.
Details on the Legal Settlement
According to her attorney, Tony Buzbee, the lawsuit against Sharpe, which demanded $50 million in damages for claims including assault and sexual battery, has been settled. Buzbee did not provide specifics but confirmed that "After protracted and respectful negotiations, we have reached a mutually agreed-upon resolution. All matters have now been addressed satisfactorily," leading to the dismissal of the lawsuit with prejudice. The nature of the settlement remains confidential, and Sharpe has maintained silence regarding the resolution of the case.
Background of the Allegations
The original lawsuit, filed on April 20, described the relationship between the accuser and Sharpe as "long-term consensual and tumultuous," including serious allegations of assault and sexual misconduct. Sharpe, a former NFL star, had consistently denied the allegations, labeling them as a "shakedown" and denouncing the claims as "meritless" through his legal team.
