Sharpe was charged with assault, sexual assault, battery and sexual battery. He was also accused of having engaged “in the intentional application of emotional distress.”

Davis responded to the trial in a long statement that the former tight end shared to his social media account on Monday. In the message, Davis shared sexually explicit messages, which he said the applicant sent to Sharpe. He also called the trial “an obvious and cynical attempt to shake Mr. Sharpe down for millions of dollars.”

Sharpe repeated that mood in his first public comments on the trial. He released a video on X before Davis’ press conference on Tuesday and called the legal action against a “Shakedown.”

Sharpe also claimed that the applicant’s lawyer, Tony Buzbee, plans to release an edited sex band to support the applicant’s accusations.

NFL HALL OF FAMER SHANNON SHARPE accused of sexual assault, battery in $ 50 million trial

“This is a Shakedown. I want to be open, transparent and defend me because this is not right. This is all orchestrated by Tony Buzbee,” SHAPE said. “Tony Buzbee is targeted at black men and I think he will release a 30-second clip of a sex band trying to make me look guilty and play in any stereotype you might imagine.”

In response to Davis’ and Sharpe’s comments on Tuesday, Buzbee released a statement confirming the settlement offer and denying accusations that the video that the applicant has changed in any way and called the claim “detectably false but also desperate.”

“An incredibly damn video is actually found. The content of this video talks to Bind about Mr. Sharpe and his behavior. This video that will be played to the jury is extremely problematic for Mr. Sharpe. Sharpes Team, which I expected, revealed the existence of this video in an attempt to try to get ahead that the effort will fall flat,” Buzbee’s statement read partly.

Buzbee also stated that the texts that Davis released only a day earlier took place the alleged dates of the assault and that the applicant eventually refused settlement offer of $ 10 million.

Buzbee who won settlements for the women who accused the NFL -quarterback Deshaun Watson of assault also addressed the comments about him.

“Sharpes Team is now trying to discredit and dox her. Sharpe and his team are now, as expected, also attacks me. We won’t be deterred by these tactics,” he wrote in an Instagram image.

Davis ended Tuesday’s press conference, confirming that a counterclaim will be filed that accuses the applicant of making “intentional and evil accusations.”
