Another of Shannon Sharpe’s former girlfriends has come forward with her own tale of sexual assault and intimidation.
Shannon Sharpe’s r*pe accuser explains why she didn’t file a police report after the alleged incident, claiming she feared Shannon would use his relationship with an Atlanta police officer against her.

Michele Bundy Evans claims she met Shannon Sharpe in 2002, and that they dated for several years until he allegedly raped her.
“We were arguing and he was threatening me and stuff like that after, but I didn’t see him again after he raped me,” she alleged in a recent interview with The U.S. Sun. According to Evans, the alleged rape happened in 2010, and the trauma made it too painful for her to revisit the experience.
In 2023, Evans sued Sharpe, claiming he defamed her in response to a restraining order she had filed over a decade ago, one she later dropped. The case resurfaced recently alongside a separate $50 million lawsuit filed by an anonymous woman accusing Sharpe of rape and assault.
Sharpe’s legal team has firmly denied Evans’ claims.
“Michelle Evans’ claims are ridiculous and completely without merit,” attorney Vincent Morris told the New York Post. “She could not find a lawyer to take her case… Shannon has had no contact with her for many years, and we understand that she is still on probation after serving three years in prison.”
Sharpe also denies the new anonymous allegations.
“Mr. Sharpe categorically denies all allegations of coercion or misconduct, especially the gross lie of ‘rape,’ and will not submit to what he sees as an egregious attempt at blackmail,” attorney Lanny J. Davis stated.
