ESPN has cut ties with NFL Hall of Famer and media analyst Shannon Sharpe less than two weeks after he settled a lawsuit in which his ex-girlfriend accused him of rape, sources briefed on the decision told The Athletic on Wednesday.
Sharpe has not been on ESPN since late April, when the suit was first filed. Sharpe denied the allegations and said at the time that he would return to ESPN at the beginning of NFL training camp. ESPN declined to comment.

Expected. Settling is NOT an admission of guilt, the parent company (Disney) knows that as they recently settled with Trump. But, settling to the public eye still doesn’t look good.
Skeeeeeeeiup
55 year old millionaire lusting over OF models and ruining his career lmao
The corporate shenanigans at these sports networks have been super messy lately.
Good, dude had such a big head and thought he was above everyone else multiple times. Flying too close to the sun gets you burned every time, thats Shannon here
Lakers in 5.
Skip and Shannon reunion on fanduel?
Skip and Shannon reunited in 3…2…1
shannon and gilbert arenas downfall you love to see it. just waiting for SAS and perkins to leave next
So much for his grandmas advices .
His lawyer really fumbled his bag when he admitted trying to settle for $10M
“Michelle, my sweet Michelle!”
I’m going to miss Unc on ESPN. Maybe he and Joy will do a podcast together.
KFC, ABC, UFC yo ass is FIRED!
Shannon and Gil’s Arena both gone. Sports discussions may finally take a step forward
Praying that a few more espn personalities settle some lawsuits. Any onlyfans girls able to bring Perkins down before nba season?
Skip sends his regards
Now let’s get Stephen A and Perkins out of there
What a way to fumble the bag
He’s a dumbass for even getting caught up in that situation. Good thing he owns Night Cap tho, that was the real money maker anyways
Bet the internal investigation showed other freaky ass shit he’s into it.
RIP to his media career
He was solid on FS1, he needed Skip like like Skip needed Shannon
It was that friction that made either worth watching. It was like WWE style drama
He sucked on ESPN, just a generic hot take artist. Everyone on ESPN is boring.
His podcast sucks too. Its two out of touch old dudes (including Ocho) talking nonsense
Given how desperate for talent FS1 is (all they have is Colin Cowherd who is getting pretty old and Nick Wright) , Shannon could’ve made even more money had he stayed at FS1
Got greedy, couldn’t keep it in his pants, thought he was above it all. Now he’s done.
Mary Porter would be disappointed
He told his daughter he would only give her 30k for her wedding but paid an onlyfans model 20+ million. The jokes write themselves.
It’s wild to think that Sharpe settled this lawsuit for more than he made in the NFL, the woman retires from OF and he’s fired from espn all in a few short weeks.
Almost like not having integrity or journalistic ability and making every decision based on views/clicks is a terrible business model, but I admire ESPN sticking to their guns and not changing
Yeah it’s wild cause he used to always get mad at ocho for not being “professional” cause he’s late and stuff but Shannon always has all the fucked up headlines
What a great day.
Not surprised. He looked like a weirdo
Gotta start thawing out Max Kellerman
good. this dude is terrible in talking sports.
Thas what hapens when u settle skeeeppp…
