Shannon Sharpe Settles Rape Lawsuit for $50 Million
Shannon Shape has settled a rape lawsuit filed against him by an ex-girlfriend, the woman's attorney Tony Buzbee confirmed to TheWrap. The woman, identified as Jane Doe, accused Sharpe of 'pain and suffering, psychological and emotional distress, mental anguish, embarrassment and humiliation.' The former football star settled for $50 million. 'On April 20, 2025, The Buzbee Law Firm filed a complaint in Nevada making several allegations against Shannon Sharpe on behalf of our client. Both sides acknowledge a long-term consensual and tumultuous relationship,' Buzzbee said in a statement.

All matters have now been addressed satisfactorily, and the matter is closed. The lawsuit will thus be dismissed with prejudice.' Sharpe immediately denied the allegations when the lawsuit was filed in April. 'My statement is found here and this is the truth. The relationship in question was 100% consensual,' the 'Club Shay Shay' host wrote in an X post at the time. 'At this juncture, I am electing to step aside temporarily from my ESPN duties. I will be devoting this time to my family, and responding and dealing with these false and disruptive allegations set against me. I plan to return to ESPN at the start of the NFL pre-season.' The woman, who has been described as being in her early 20s (Sharpe is 57), filed the suit in Nevada's Clark County. She accused Sharpe of raping her in October 2024 and January 2025. Sharpe's team insisted the pair were in a 'consensual, adult relationship that included role-playing, sexual language and fantasy scenarios explicitly requested.' The relationship between Sharpe and the woman took a southward turn after he inadvertently shared a video of himself having sex on Instagram Live in December. Court documents state the woman demanded an apology from Sharpe, who replied, 'I've already apologized. Stop playing childish [games].'

Epstein's Ex Says He And Trump Had A ‘Very Close' Friendship And Were ‘Up to No Good'
A former Sports Illustrated model who was romantically involved with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein claimed Friday that her ex and President Donald Trump were quite close, adding more to the ongoing controversy surrounding the Epstein files. 'They were best friends,' Stacey Williams told CNN host Brianna Keilar on Friday night. 'I dated Jeffrey for a period of more or less, I think about four or five months, and the only friend that he would mention every time we saw each other or had a phone conversation was Donald.' #JeffreyEpstein's ex girlfriend accuses #Trump of groping her in front of #Epstein in 1993: 'That was his bro. That was his wingman…. They were very, very close.'#CNN#BreakingNews#EpsteinFiles# — Erin Burnett OutFront (@OutFrontCNN) July 19, 2025 Trump and his administration recently faced scrutiny over their handling of Epstein's sex abuse case after building up hype for the files' release — only for the Department of Justice and FBI to say there was no evidence Epstein was murdered in jail, nor did he have a so-called 'client list.' Those findings triggered a shift in the MAGA base, as many of Trump's supporters began to turn against him and the administration. Since then, Trump has tried to distance himself from the Epstein case, even calling his supporters 'stupid' and 'foolish' for speculating about it. Williams told Keilar on Friday that Trump was Epstein's 'bro' and 'his wingman,' claiming the two were 'very close and they were up to no good.' Williams previously came out with a bombshell accusation against the president during his campaign in October, claiming Trump had groped her in 1993 during an encounter facilitated by Epstein himself. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt denied William's accusations last year, saying 'it's obvious this fake story was contrived by the Harris campaign.' However, Williams revisited that encounter on Friday. 'You know when that happens in broad daylight in someone's office and an assistant is walking back and forth, you're in shock,' Williams told Keilar. The president has sued reporters of The Wall Street Journal for publishing the contents of a lewd birthday card he allegedly sent Epstein in 2003, featuring a drawing of a naked woman and a message that read 'Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.' Trump called the message fake, claiming he never 'wrote a picture' in his life and that he doesn't 'draw pictures of women.' 'It's not my language. It's not my words,' the president said. According to Williams, that birthday card was not out of character for the Epstein-Trump duo. 'Are you kidding me? I know what they were up to together. It happened to me. I was polygraphed. I have the post-assault postcard with a love note,' Williams said. 'So I have the receipts. Where are Donald Trump's receipts? Where are they? I know what they were up to together, and I know what that means. It's very clear. It wasn't baking or fishing.' Related...

Syrian troops move into Suwayda as violence continues
One day after reaching a ceasefire with Israel, Syrian military forces began moving into the country's Suwayda Governorate (pictured) where dozens of people have been killed in recent days amid fighting between warring tribes. Photo by Ahmad Fallaha/EPA-EFE July 19 (UPI) -- One day after reaching a ceasefire with Israel, Syrian military forces began moving into the country's Suwayda Governorate, where dozens of people have been killed in recent days amid fighting between warring tribes. "Internal Security Forces have begun deploying in Suwayda province as part of a national mission with the primary goal of protecting civilians and restoring order," Syrian Interior Ministry spokesperson Nour al-Dean Baba told CNN in a statement, adding the move came "following the bloody events caused by outlaw groups." This past week has seen continued fighting in southern Syria between several of the country's minority groups, including the Arab Druze and Bedouins. At least 30 people were killed and over 100 injured during clashes between armed groups on Monday in the Suwayda Governorate capital city of As-Suwayda. That fighting continued Saturday, with further violence between Bedouin and Druze factions. Witnesses reported sporadic gunfire and columns of smoke in the city, which has a population of around 138,000 people in its metropolitan area. "Syria is not a playground for separatism or sectarian incitement. Now more than ever, it is essential to return to the path of reason and come together on a unified national foundation," Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa said in a speech Saturday on state TV, translated to English by CNN. He added the continued fighting was a "dangerous turning point in Syria's security and political landscape." On Friday, al-Sharaa said his country had reached a ceasefire with Israel, after the Israel Defense Forces intervened in Syria. Israeli warplanes bombed parts of Syria, including the capital of Damascus. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the move was meant to protect the Druze minorities, which are also prevalent in Israel. At the time, al-Sharaa accused Israel of "trying to drag us into war."
