1
00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:03.879
Hey everyone, and welcome back to Exposed Scandalous Files of

2
00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:08.880
the Elite. I'm your host, Jim Chapman, and I could

3
00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:13.279
call this an emergency episode. It was something that I

4
00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:19.519
certainly was not planning on recording because well, it didn't

5
00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:23.280
exist until just a few days prior to me recording

6
00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:27.640
this podcast. And that is a lawsuit that's surfaced on

7
00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:34.679
Easter Sunday of all times, alleging Shannon Sharp of the

8
00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:39.119
sexual assault of the former ex girlfriend. And we're gonna

9
00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:43.560
get into this one today now. Sometimes I come across

10
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:49.200
cases that I absolutely do not really want to cover

11
00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:54.039
because I like the people involved, and this would definitely

12
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:57.679
be one of those cases. No, I don't know Shannon

13
00:00:57.759 --> 00:01:01.359
shap personally, but I've all he's been a fan of

14
00:01:01.479 --> 00:01:05.239
Shannon Sharp. And for those not familiar with who Shannon

15
00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:10.319
Sharp is, he's an NFL legend. He played fourteen years

16
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:14.359
in the NFL for the Denver Broncos and he also

17
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:18.599
played about three years for the Baltimore Ravens. He is

18
00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:21.519
in the NFL Hall of Fame, and as a matter

19
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:27.159
of fact, his NFL Hall of Fame speech is one that,

20
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:31.640
in my opinion, approaches one of the best speeches of

21
00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:35.400
all time, If not the best speech for me, it's

22
00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:39.280
between him and Dion Sanders. Both of those speeches were

23
00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:44.040
absolutely amazing. But the point to all of that is

24
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:48.799
he is a really amazing communicator. As a matter of fact,

25
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:53.120
after he left the NFL, he became a sports commentator

26
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:57.400
for ESPN, and he became quite the star when he

27
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:02.760
launched two podcasts, one called Nightcap which he hosts with

28
00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:07.920
chad Ocho Senko for those big old fans out there,

29
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:13.199
and the other podcast is called Club Shaysha and he

30
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:18.080
really hits superstardom with that podcast when he had Kat

31
00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:21.759
Williams on his show. This was back in twenty twenty four,

32
00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:28.240
and Kat Williams actually referenced Sean Ditty, Combs and some

33
00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:31.599
things that he might or might not have some information on,

34
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:36.560
which launched that case back into the spotlight. As a

35
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:39.240
matter of fact, this first clip I'm gonna play you,

36
00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:42.919
it's just a short clip. It features Kat Williams on

37
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:48.520
Club Shay Shay where he referenced Diddy. Listen to this. Now,

38
00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:52.000
I've had to turn down fifty million dollars four times,

39
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:57.639
four times just to protect my integrity and that I

40
00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:00.599
was telling you about it, right, because he did. He

41
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:03.039
be wanting a body and you gotta tell him no,

42
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:08.719
God to tell him no, I did. I did. Now.

43
00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:13.599
I played that clip primarily because of the irony that

44
00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:18.159
at this point in time surrounds Shannon Sharp. That twenty

45
00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:22.800
twenty four discussion regarding Diddy. Well, fast forward to today

46
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:26.599
in Shannon Sharp, He's got his own accusations to defend

47
00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:30.439
that are similar, not in the amount of people accusing

48
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:35.280
him of something, but the accusations themselves. And Shannon Sharp

49
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:39.280
has not been without his own controversies. If you go

50
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:43.479
back to September twelfth of twenty twenty four, Shannon Sharp

51
00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:49.639
was thoroughly embarrassed and apologized after going live on Instagram

52
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:55.159
while having sex. Now at the time, he spoke about

53
00:03:55.199 --> 00:04:00.759
it on his own emergency episode on that Nightcap Podcasts

54
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:05.719
with Chad O Josenko, and he said, quote, Obviously, I'm embarrassed.

55
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:09.759
I'm someone that is extremely private and i have one

56
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:14.800
of the most intimate details published online the audio heard

57
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:17.639
for the entire world to see, and I'm embarrassed for

58
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:20.720
a number of reasons. And he continued by saying people

59
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:25.360
count on Shannon Sharp. Shaysha media ESPN. There are a

60
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:27.639
lot of people that count on me at all times,

61
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:31.279
even when I'm behind closed doors, and I still try

62
00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:34.600
to remain professional although I'm in the privacy of my

63
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:37.879
own home. I'm very disappointed in myself, not for the

64
00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:42.000
act itself, because there are millions and billions of consenting

65
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:44.680
age people that engage in that activity. But I have

66
00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:49.120
never used Instagram Live, so I don't know how it works.

67
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:52.680
He said. His phone started blowing up with people trying

68
00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:55.839
to contact him, and he began to realize what happened,

69
00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:59.519
and it was at that point his heart sank. And

70
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:02.959
look that happens. I'm not quite sure what he was

71
00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:07.360
trying to do and how he accidentally went live on Instagram.

72
00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:11.920
But I mean, people accidentally text one person when they're

73
00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:15.560
intending to text another person sometimes and sometimes it might

74
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:19.680
be something embarrassing that they're texting. So it does happen. Now,

75
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:22.560
it's important to point out this was not the woman,

76
00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:26.319
the ex girlfriend that has filed the lawsuit I'm about

77
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:29.600
to tell you about. It was another person he was dating.

78
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:32.279
As a matter of fact, this person that filed the

79
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:36.360
lawsuit at this point in time, she was obviously pissed

80
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:40.279
because she thought they were in a monogamous relationship. So

81
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:43.920
he was dating the girl that filed this lawsuit at

82
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:47.160
the time that he went live on Instagram with a

83
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:49.920
chick that was not her, And even prior to that,

84
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:53.240
he did have a couple of instances that I was

85
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:57.639
unaware of until I started researching this particular case, and

86
00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:01.720
they're not directly related to this lawsuit, but some people

87
00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:05.439
could say it could point to a pattern. In twenty ten,

88
00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:08.879
Sharp was accused of sexual assault by a woman by

89
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:13.120
the name of Michelle Bundy. Now Bundy later withdrew her

90
00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:17.519
restraining order against Sharp, according to her out of fear

91
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:23.160
of retaliation. Erica Evans, a former girlfriend, she filed battery

92
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:26.800
charges against Shannon Sharp in two thousand and four and

93
00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:30.959
those charges were resolved through mediation. So he's had a

94
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:35.720
few little scrapes here and there, nothing I would say

95
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:39.800
this series, and we're going to get into the more

96
00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:45.000
recent allegations. And an announcement surfaced just prior and I

97
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:49.439
mean within days of these allegations coming out, and the

98
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:53.639
announcement was that Shannon Sharp was set to inca deal

99
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:57.240
with a podcast network and that deal was going to

100
00:06:57.279 --> 00:07:02.079
be worth over one hundred million million dollars. I want

101
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:05.199
to know where my one hundred million dollar deal is. Incidentally,

102
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:09.480
his current podcast network in which he was under contract

103
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:13.959
with was Colin cow Hurd's Sports Network, and that contract

104
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:17.399
came up for renewal. Shannon, who at this point has

105
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:20.839
one of the hottest podcasts in the world, he starts

106
00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:24.560
shopping for a better deal, and lo and behold, a

107
00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:30.160
nine figure deal is waiting in the wings for him.

108
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:35.040
Now bring that up because some theorize these allegations were

109
00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:38.360
released when they were. That is to say the lawsuit

110
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:41.639
was dropped when it did to blow up that deal.

111
00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:47.319
It's just speculation, but I gotta admit the timing is impeccable.

112
00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:51.639
So let's get into the allegations in this lawsuit filed

113
00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:56.319
under a pseudonym Jane Doe, who is represented by none

114
00:07:56.319 --> 00:08:00.920
other than our old friend from the Diddy cases, Tony Busby.

115
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:04.759
And it's important to keep in mind Busby has been

116
00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:10.000
under some heavy fire lately. Remember he represented the client

117
00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:14.920
that was suing Jay Z after allegedly being raped when

118
00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:18.199
she was thirteen, and that client's story kept changing and

119
00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:23.240
eventually that created some serious credibility issues with that client,

120
00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:26.800
and it led to the lawsuit being dropped. And so

121
00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:32.039
Tony Busby representing this Jane Doe. The public is scrutinizing

122
00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:36.600
it because they are considering the recent past as it

123
00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:41.600
relates to Tony Busby. Now, as I've told you many times,

124
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:46.080
these lawyers, they have an obligation to bring only legitimate lawsuits,

125
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:49.200
and they are obligated to do their due diligence. You

126
00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:53.039
can't just file a lawsuit to harass somebody. You as

127
00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:56.080
a lawyer, you have to believe the facts that your

128
00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:59.279
client's telling you. There has to be some semblance of

129
00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:03.120
facts that you put forward in a complaint, and those

130
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:08.600
facts have to pass a motion to dismiss test. So

131
00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:11.360
a lawyer has to feel that while he or she

132
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:15.919
may not have all the evidence right now, the lawyer

133
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:19.799
must feel confident of the account that that client is

134
00:09:19.840 --> 00:09:25.799
giving them. Otherwise they're breaking major ethics rules. So the

135
00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:30.559
lawsuit here against Shannon Sharp starts with the quote, a

136
00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:35.039
woman can say yes to consensual sexual relations with a

137
00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:39.879
man ninety nine times, but when she says no even once,

138
00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:43.960
no means no. And I couldn't agree with that further.

139
00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:47.080
And I think the reason the lawsuit starts off with

140
00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:51.200
that sentence is because this is Shannon Sharp's ex girlfriend.

141
00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:56.440
They've been together a lot sexually, and Tony Busby had

142
00:09:56.440 --> 00:09:59.200
the foresight to know that The first thing people are

143
00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:01.799
going to think is, well, why did they continually go

144
00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:04.679
back and forth to each other if he was raping her, etc.

145
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:08.440
And the lawsuit goes on. Defendant Shaman Sharp, a man

146
00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:11.879
who's accustomed to getting what he wants, completely failed to

147
00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:16.759
understand this basic concept. After many months of manipulating and

148
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:20.600
controlling the planeff a woman more than thirty years younger

149
00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:25.120
than he and he's fifty six years old as of today, folks,

150
00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:29.759
and repeatingly threatening to brutally choke and violently slap her,

151
00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:33.080
Sharp refused to accept the answer no and rape the

152
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:37.720
planetf despite her sobbing and repeated screams of no. So,

153
00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:40.919
according to the complaint, Jane Doe worked out at the

154
00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:45.080
same gem that Shan Sharp did in Los Angeles, and

155
00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:48.240
she was nineteen at the time. She claims that he

156
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:51.559
had been watching her during her workouts and he finally

157
00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:54.840
came up to her and introduced himself, insisting that she

158
00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:58.720
give him her number, and the filing says that Jane

159
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:02.440
Doe found Sharp quote physically intimidating. Lowell. Let's talk about

160
00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:05.320
Chin and Sharp real quick, and he's fifty six, as

161
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:09.799
I said, he I'll look fifty six. That sucker is jacked,

162
00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:15.759
big dude, A handsome guy. Go on my Facebook look

163
00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:19.679
under exposed scandalous files of the elite, and I posted

164
00:11:19.720 --> 00:11:22.039
a picture of him. So if you're not familiar with him, look,

165
00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:26.919
he's a jack guy in phenomenal shape. The lawsuit continues

166
00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:30.480
and says, over the next couple of weeks, Sharp incessantly

167
00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:34.120
pursued the planiff. He constantly approached her at the gym

168
00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:37.799
and attempted to contact her frequently with phone calls and

169
00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:41.720
text messages, asking to meet up, and unwilling to take

170
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:45.600
no for an answer. Eventually, the planiff gives in and

171
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:50.080
agrees to meet with Sharp outside the gym. However, before

172
00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:54.600
doing so, Sharp demanded that Doe sign a non disclosure

173
00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:58.840
agreement or NDA, something the planiff found a bit concerning.

174
00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:02.480
She wondered why Sharp was so insistent on her signing

175
00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:07.000
an NBA, so she refused. Despite his repeated efforts to

176
00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:10.399
get her to sign, she refused time and time again,

177
00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:16.559
Eventually he dropped the lawsuit and invited her to his house. Now,

178
00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:21.919
the lawsuit claims that this relationship between Sharp and Jane Doe,

179
00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:26.960
and again, she's more than thirty years his junior, was consensual,

180
00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:31.399
but it was rocky. She said. He'd insisted that they

181
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:35.480
were exclusive, but then was caught multiple times lying about

182
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:38.440
his whereabouts in who he was seeing. According to the

183
00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:43.120
filing quote, by October of twenty twenty four, Sharp's behavior

184
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:47.559
had grown progressively worse beyond anything the plaineiff had experienced

185
00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:51.159
with him before. At this point, he was insistent upon

186
00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:56.480
recording their sexual activity, sometimes without her knowledge. Sharp was

187
00:12:56.600 --> 00:13:00.799
also sharing the videos with others without her permission. Her knowledge,

188
00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:03.919
Sharp would repeatedly tell Doe that he wanted to do

189
00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:07.039
things to her that would make no other man want her.

190
00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:12.279
By this point, Sharp was no longer able to credibly

191
00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:17.240
maintain the relationship was exclusive. Hit, at this point, accidentally

192
00:13:17.600 --> 00:13:21.440
or purposely to advance his career, went live on Instagram

193
00:13:21.480 --> 00:13:24.600
while having sex with another woman. Sharp flew into fits

194
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:28.000
of anger when the planiff noted his infidelity to the

195
00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:32.799
relationship or called him out about his affairs. What at

196
00:13:32.799 --> 00:13:37.799
once become manipulation control and intimidation now became something far

197
00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:41.200
more dangerous and sinister. Sharpe even figured out how to

198
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:45.320
get into Doe's apartment complex without her permission. Sharp made

199
00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:48.879
it clear that what Doe wanted was not important, that

200
00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:51.720
Sharp would get what he wanted when he wanted it.

201
00:13:51.919 --> 00:13:55.840
In October of twenty twenty four, Shannon Sharp violently sexually

202
00:13:55.879 --> 00:13:59.360
assaulted and anally raped the planiff two different times in

203
00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:03.840
Las Vegas, Nevada, blatantly ignoring her request for him to stop.

204
00:14:04.159 --> 00:14:07.559
He did it again in January and now, so to

205
00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:11.960
give you a little more detail on these two particular instances,

206
00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:16.120
the suit described that on October of twenty twenty four,

207
00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:19.799
Sharp allegedly forced the planiff into a car, took her

208
00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:24.840
to an apartment, and the plaintiff alleged that Sharp forced

209
00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:29.440
her to perform oral sex and Sharp grabbed her head,

210
00:14:29.720 --> 00:14:32.960
forcing her to look at him as she sobbed and said,

211
00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:36.120
look at this, Look at my arm. I've got chills.

212
00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:42.320
That's how good this is. Then, in another incident allegedly

213
00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:46.240
occurring in January of twenty twenty five, the plaintiff claim

214
00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:49.039
that Sharp asked to come to her apartment to give

215
00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:54.000
her a Christmas slash Birthday gift, and once he got there,

216
00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:58.840
she alleged that he again sexually assaulted her and refused

217
00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:02.720
to wear a com So those are the two detailed

218
00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:06.600
incidents that she is suing for now. The lawsuit is

219
00:15:06.679 --> 00:15:10.080
seeking damages of fifty million dollars, and I'm going to

220
00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:14.240
cover the breakdown of that for you quickly. First of all,

221
00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:19.120
she's suing for general damages in the sum of ten

222
00:15:19.159 --> 00:15:22.960
million dollars, and general damages are typically going to be

223
00:15:23.240 --> 00:15:28.519
emotional distress damages. She's also suing for what's known as

224
00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:32.200
special damages in the amount of ten million dollars. Special

225
00:15:32.279 --> 00:15:36.120
damages likely in this case are economic losses. They could

226
00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:40.120
be very hard to establish a lot of times, and

227
00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:43.840
economists almost have to get involved and try to figure out,

228
00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:51.279
in whatever situation the lawsuit is regarding, how is whatever

229
00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:55.480
happened to that person going to impact their future career.

230
00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:57.679
Are they going to have to go to therapy for

231
00:15:57.720 --> 00:15:59.399
the rest of their life, or they going to have

232
00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:02.039
to speak to psychiatrists for the rest of their life,

233
00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:05.360
et cetera. Is it going to cost them x amount

234
00:16:05.360 --> 00:16:10.240
of dollars going forward? So that's what special damages are

235
00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:13.200
really hard to figure out, and ten million dollars seems

236
00:16:13.399 --> 00:16:17.480
really steep because it's kind of hard to prove future earnings.

237
00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:21.519
Then they go into punitive damages, and that is twenty

238
00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:26.080
million dollars they're suing for, and those damages are designed

239
00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:31.879
to punish someone for the conduct that they're accused of.

240
00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:35.679
It's not earnings that a person is losing, it's not

241
00:16:36.039 --> 00:16:41.440
distress caused by whatever the situation was. It's specifically, you

242
00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:44.080
did this to me, and you need to pay by

243
00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:49.600
being hurt financially damages, and twenty million dollars is a lot,

244
00:16:50.120 --> 00:16:53.559
but that is what she's suing for there. And then

245
00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:57.440
there's some statutory penalties and the amount of ten million dollars.

246
00:16:57.519 --> 00:16:59.919
I have no idea what those could be. It could

247
00:16:59.919 --> 00:17:04.039
be a conglomerate of things. It doesn't really go into

248
00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:07.799
detail in the lawsuit, but that's another ten million dollars,

249
00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:11.559
so a total of fifty million dollars here. So this

250
00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:17.559
lawsuit comes out and the shock waves slam the internet.

251
00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:22.400
It's all over the place, and Shannon Sharp responds, but

252
00:17:23.319 --> 00:17:26.960
not in the way you would think. Now many cases

253
00:17:27.119 --> 00:17:29.799
when these things come out, there is a response, but

254
00:17:29.960 --> 00:17:33.559
typically it's a typed up response that you can tell

255
00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:39.519
five hundred lawyers that it's something like I'm innocent of

256
00:17:39.559 --> 00:17:43.119
these allegations and look forward to my day in court

257
00:17:43.880 --> 00:17:49.640
type thing. This was shocking the way that he responded

258
00:17:50.279 --> 00:17:53.680
to pretty much everybody. So Shannon Shark came out. He

259
00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:56.960
released a video statement, put it on a social media

260
00:17:57.480 --> 00:17:58.920
and this is what it sounded like.

261
00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:03.000
Friends, supporters, and colleagues. I want to speak to you

262
00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:06.839
directly and from the heart. This is a shakedown. I'm

263
00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:10.640
gonna be open, transparent and defend myself because this isn't right.

264
00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:14.079
This is all being orchestrated by Tony Busby, who is

265
00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:17.839
targeted jay Z. Tony Buzzby targets black men, and I

266
00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:19.880
believe he's going to release a thirty second clip of

267
00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:22.240
a sex tape that tries to make me look guilty

268
00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:26.440
and played into every stereotype you could possibly imagine. That

269
00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:29.599
video should actually be ten minutes or so. Hey, Tony,

270
00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:32.440
instead of releasing your edit, put the whole video out.

271
00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:35.240
I don't have it, or I would myself. You know

272
00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:38.160
what happened, and you're trying to manipulate the media. The

273
00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:41.200
encountering question took place during the day at her invitation,

274
00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:43.680
and now that appears to be a deliver it Sell

275
00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:48.519
coordinated by Gavin also known as Carly On OnlyFans Gabby

276
00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:52.039
and Tony Busby want fifty million dollars. What they're getting

277
00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:54.920
is sued for defamation and trying to take me down.

278
00:18:55.319 --> 00:18:58.079
My career is all about real talking honesty. I know

279
00:18:58.160 --> 00:19:01.200
my family and fans know exactly what this is about,

280
00:19:01.559 --> 00:19:03.640
and I'm going to be out there telling you whatever

281
00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:06.599
I need to say, just like I always do. I

282
00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:08.160
love all of you guys.

283
00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:11.880
So if you notice Shannon Sharp called her by name

284
00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:15.839
that Jane Doe, and I'm not sure what the legal

285
00:19:16.079 --> 00:19:21.039
ramifications for that are, but it's clear that Shannon Sharp

286
00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:25.440
don't care. He put it out there, and it's obvious

287
00:19:25.759 --> 00:19:29.559
that he's gonna attack this thing front and center, much

288
00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:33.799
like jay Z did. So was shortly after that video

289
00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:38.119
statement that Lanny Davis, who is counsel for Sham and Sharp,

290
00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:42.720
he also released a statement and in addition, he also

291
00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:46.000
released some text messages, so I'm gonna review those for

292
00:19:46.079 --> 00:19:50.119
you now. So the statement starts this lawsuit filed by

293
00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:53.079
and he names her. I'm not gonna name her, but

294
00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:57.480
he does first and last name, is orchestrated by her attorney,

295
00:19:57.799 --> 00:20:01.160
Tonny Busby, and is a blatant and cynical attempt to

296
00:20:01.240 --> 00:20:04.160
try to shake down mister Sharp for millions of dollars.

297
00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:08.559
It's filled with lies, distortions, and miss representations, and it

298
00:20:08.599 --> 00:20:12.599
will not succeed in her effort to extract a large

299
00:20:12.640 --> 00:20:17.559
financial settlement. Miss and It says her name presented mister

300
00:20:17.680 --> 00:20:22.200
Sharp with a secretly recorded video of consensual sex. We

301
00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:26.960
believe the video has been heavily edited, taken entirely out

302
00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:31.680
of contexts crafted to falsely portray a consensual act as

303
00:20:31.799 --> 00:20:36.480
non consensual. Miss and It names her has refused to

304
00:20:36.519 --> 00:20:39.599
provide a copy of the full, unedited version of the

305
00:20:39.680 --> 00:20:43.799
recording to mister Sharp's legal team. To set the record straight,

306
00:20:43.920 --> 00:20:47.480
we are releasing several of and it names her own

307
00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:51.759
explicit text messages to mister Sharp that clearly indicate the

308
00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:55.519
nature of their relationship and that it was consensual and

309
00:20:55.559 --> 00:20:58.960
sexual in nature and in many cases initiated by her

310
00:20:59.079 --> 00:21:03.839
with specific in graphic request. Contrary to the allegation she

311
00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:08.680
makes in her lawsuit, consensual sex continued until January second

312
00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:12.880
of twenty twenty five, the day after she asked quote

313
00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:17.279
twenty five thousand dollars per cheek. As quoted above. In

314
00:21:17.359 --> 00:21:21.200
her text messages to mister Sharp, there are many other

315
00:21:21.319 --> 00:21:24.759
examples of text. I'm gonna read those texts for you.

316
00:21:24.920 --> 00:21:28.680
On October seventh of twenty twenty three, she texted him

317
00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:31.640
and said call me. I feel like fucking with you.

318
00:21:31.920 --> 00:21:34.920
A couple days later October ninth of twenty twenty three,

319
00:21:35.119 --> 00:21:37.920
I want you to put a dog collar around my

320
00:21:38.079 --> 00:21:41.720
neck and choke me with it while you're fucking me.

321
00:21:43.119 --> 00:21:47.599
On November twenty third of twenty twenty three, only if

322
00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:51.000
you can put that baby gravy in me, then you

323
00:21:51.079 --> 00:21:55.440
can do whatever you want to me. And on January

324
00:21:55.640 --> 00:21:58.640
twelfth of twenty twenty four, I want to put my

325
00:21:58.799 --> 00:22:03.240
tongue in your asshole and then marry you. These are

326
00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:06.960
just They only included her texts. They didn't include Shannon

327
00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:11.279
Sharp's response to those texts. I mean, it shows you

328
00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:14.240
they had kind of a freaky relationship, if nothing else,

329
00:22:14.279 --> 00:22:19.200
and this is her right here initiating things. At least

330
00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:21.000
that's the way it looks on the text, And we

331
00:22:21.079 --> 00:22:24.319
only have one side of that. I get that, but

332
00:22:24.400 --> 00:22:28.559
there you have it. That's what he included. Now. An

333
00:22:28.599 --> 00:22:32.599
audio clip also surfaced out of the camp for this

334
00:22:32.839 --> 00:22:35.079
Jane Doe and I want you to listen to it

335
00:22:35.240 --> 00:22:38.200
and I'll give you my thoughts after it. It's about

336
00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:39.960
forty five seconds in length.

337
00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:42.680
I don't know anything I say. You're just gonna like

338
00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:45.039
get mad at and you're just gonna hang up on me.

339
00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:48.640
So I feel like I'm not going enough on you.

340
00:22:50.160 --> 00:22:53.359
What what does that even mean? Not to get it?

341
00:22:55.960 --> 00:22:58.519
Do you want to be a big now? So I

342
00:22:58.559 --> 00:23:02.359
don't want to be don't mane me about that.

343
00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:07.000
If you said that, one will will have what I see?

344
00:23:08.079 --> 00:23:18.480
Thank you. I don't you know what well, I don't

345
00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:19.359
want to be choked.

346
00:23:21.279 --> 00:23:24.000
Yes you do. I don't think you have a choice

347
00:23:24.039 --> 00:23:24.559
thing about it.

348
00:23:24.880 --> 00:23:29.000
So on that clip, you heard some mention of chucking

349
00:23:29.880 --> 00:23:33.599
and you kind of heard the tone along with that.

350
00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:33.960
Now.

351
00:23:33.960 --> 00:23:37.119
I just don't know, but it seems to me like

352
00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:40.720
this is being taken completely out of context by her

353
00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:44.039
legal team, just my opinion. She says something to the

354
00:23:44.079 --> 00:23:49.680
effect of don't try to manipulate me, and sharp response was,

355
00:23:50.519 --> 00:23:52.359
if you say that to me one more time, I'm

356
00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:54.920
gonna fucking choke the shit out of you. When I

357
00:23:54.960 --> 00:23:57.240
see you, and then he waits for a minute and

358
00:23:57.279 --> 00:24:00.680
he says, thank you. Now, here's my thoughts on that.

359
00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:05.640
In my opinion, that particular conversation could be no different

360
00:24:05.680 --> 00:24:08.400
than if my wife's working in the yard, for example,

361
00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:10.559
and I say to her, oh, I'm going to get

362
00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:12.839
a picture of you working in the yard, and she

363
00:24:13.440 --> 00:24:15.359
says to me, you do that, and I'm gonna beat

364
00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:17.240
the shit out of you because I don't have any

365
00:24:17.279 --> 00:24:21.400
makeup on. It just seemed to me like that was

366
00:24:21.559 --> 00:24:26.000
the way Shannon Sharp was meaning that choking comment. I

367
00:24:26.039 --> 00:24:29.279
could be wrong, and I'd be interested to know what

368
00:24:29.319 --> 00:24:32.400
your thoughts are, but that could be taken a couple

369
00:24:32.440 --> 00:24:35.480
of different ways. And what made me really think that

370
00:24:35.759 --> 00:24:40.079
was after he said it, the Jane Doe says, I

371
00:24:40.079 --> 00:24:42.799
don't want to be choked. But she said it in

372
00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:48.200
what sounded like to me anyway, is a very flirtatious way,

373
00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:51.359
kind of like a cute way. In judging by the

374
00:24:51.400 --> 00:24:55.160
text messages that I just read you, it was like

375
00:24:55.200 --> 00:24:58.240
she was trying to turn him on. Did it seem

376
00:24:58.519 --> 00:25:01.319
that way to you as well? And keep in mind

377
00:25:01.519 --> 00:25:05.599
she's recording this, so obviously she knew she was recording this,

378
00:25:05.759 --> 00:25:09.359
so she's trying to get him to say something right. Otherwise,

379
00:25:09.480 --> 00:25:12.559
why you recording it? And I'd be interested in hearing

380
00:25:12.559 --> 00:25:16.680
your thoughts on that. But I think people on her

381
00:25:16.759 --> 00:25:19.920
legal team are making a big deal out of this

382
00:25:20.039 --> 00:25:24.359
recording and it seems like it's much ado about nothing. Really.

383
00:25:25.920 --> 00:25:31.039
This is just my opinion, But as you would expect,

384
00:25:31.519 --> 00:25:36.519
there's a response by Tony Busby regarding Shannon Sharp's legal

385
00:25:36.559 --> 00:25:40.559
teams responding to the lawsuit and Shannon Sharp himself. This

386
00:25:40.759 --> 00:25:43.119
was on April twenty second, and I'm going to read

387
00:25:43.160 --> 00:25:46.880
you that response from the Busby law firm. It's as

388
00:25:46.960 --> 00:25:51.240
Shannon Sharp released a false and misleading statement through his attorney.

389
00:25:51.440 --> 00:25:55.640
The statement from Sharp's newest lawyer falsely accused Miss Jane

390
00:25:55.720 --> 00:25:58.480
Doe of editing a video, a claim that is not

391
00:25:58.559 --> 00:26:04.160
only demonstrably false but also desperate. The lawyer also suggests

392
00:26:04.160 --> 00:26:07.119
that Miss Dae refused to make the video available to

393
00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:12.880
mister Sharp. Again, this assertion is easily proven untrue. In fact,

394
00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:16.440
Miss Doe insisted he watch it. Here's what is true.

395
00:26:16.759 --> 00:26:20.920
Although Jane Day never referenced any video or multiple audios

396
00:26:20.920 --> 00:26:24.279
that she possessed in the lawsuit, that she filed. Now

397
00:26:24.319 --> 00:26:27.559
that mister Sharp's lawyer has decided to brodge the subject,

398
00:26:27.839 --> 00:26:33.559
we're gonna address it. An incredibly damning video does indeed exist.

399
00:26:34.039 --> 00:26:37.519
The contents of that video speak volumes about mister Sharp

400
00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:40.880
and his behavior. That video, which will be played to

401
00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:45.519
a jury, is extremely problematic for mister Sharp. Sharp's team,

402
00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:49.559
as I anticipated disclose the existence of this video in

403
00:26:49.640 --> 00:26:51.799
an effort to try and get ahead of it. That

404
00:26:51.920 --> 00:26:56.119
effort will fall flat. In his statement, mister Sharp's attorney

405
00:26:56.160 --> 00:26:59.920
references several texts. Every text in mister Sharp's council will

406
00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:03.319
least today from Jane Doe or dated prior to the

407
00:27:03.400 --> 00:27:07.680
alleged brutal assaults set forth in Jane Doe's case. Those

408
00:27:07.720 --> 00:27:10.839
texts were obviously released in an effort to distract the

409
00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:15.759
public's attention from the allegations in Jane Doe's lawsuit. It

410
00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:19.440
won't work. A little history. Back in early February, our

411
00:27:19.480 --> 00:27:22.920
office contacted mister Sharp on behalf of Jane Doe and

412
00:27:23.039 --> 00:27:27.160
burdged the subject of a meeting. Multiple conversations took place,

413
00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:32.200
Ultimately a mediation occurred. Mister Sharp was represented by different

414
00:27:32.279 --> 00:27:35.839
lawyers in the mediation, The mediation went on for more

415
00:27:35.920 --> 00:27:39.640
than six weeks, ultimately leading to mister Sharp making an

416
00:27:39.680 --> 00:27:44.640
incredibly significant offer to settle. Ultimately, Jane Doe refused the

417
00:27:44.680 --> 00:27:49.279
hefty sum offered by Sharp and instead filed this case.

418
00:27:49.519 --> 00:27:53.400
Prior to engaging in the mediation process, mister Sharp's counsel

419
00:27:53.519 --> 00:27:59.000
insisted on Jane Doe's signing a confidentiality agreement. Mister Sharp's

420
00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:01.960
attorney has now reach that agreement while at the same

421
00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:06.559
time deliberately revealing Jane Doe's name, phone number, and private

422
00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:10.880
messages that again predate the alleged rape. That was a

423
00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:14.920
grievous error on Sharp's part because now all the things

424
00:28:14.960 --> 00:28:19.200
discussed and revealed in that mediative process will at some

425
00:28:19.359 --> 00:28:22.920
point be revealed as set fourth in the filed lawsuit,

426
00:28:23.000 --> 00:28:27.160
mister Sharp's conduct throughout the two year relationship reveals patterns

427
00:28:27.200 --> 00:28:32.680
of narcissism, manipulation, and coercive control. It grew progressively worse.

428
00:28:33.680 --> 00:28:37.000
Sharp's new lawyer claims in his statement that the evidence

429
00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:40.559
paints a clear picture. He'd be right about that, it's

430
00:28:40.960 --> 00:28:44.240
just not the picture he wants the public to see.

431
00:28:44.319 --> 00:28:47.400
Although we will save the video discussed by mister Sharp's

432
00:28:47.480 --> 00:28:51.119
lawyers for the courtroom. I would suggest that mister Sharp's

433
00:28:51.160 --> 00:28:53.720
new lawyer take a moment to listen to his client

434
00:28:54.079 --> 00:28:56.839
at a different time on audio and ask his client

435
00:28:56.880 --> 00:29:00.880
for the real story, the truth. In the shaudio which

436
00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:03.880
was captured near the end of the relationship, mister Sharp

437
00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:06.960
threatens to quote choke the shit out of Jane Doe.

438
00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:10.799
The contents of this clip are certainly not sexual. They're

439
00:29:10.839 --> 00:29:14.960
not playful. They are instead disturbing, aggressive, and dangerous. The

440
00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:18.480
audio paints a very clear picture of how Sharp treated

441
00:29:18.599 --> 00:29:21.759
Jane Doe, leading to her escape from him by leaving

442
00:29:21.799 --> 00:29:25.480
Nevada and blocking all contact with him. This is not

443
00:29:25.599 --> 00:29:29.480
the first time mister Sharp has faced allegations of mistreating

444
00:29:29.519 --> 00:29:31.839
a woman. He was also sued in New York for

445
00:29:31.880 --> 00:29:36.720
alleged aggressive and inappropriate behavior detailed extensively in that lawsuit.

446
00:29:37.039 --> 00:29:39.720
Instead of owning up to his actions, Sharp has chose

447
00:29:39.799 --> 00:29:42.759
to Miss Olivia's lawyers and the public and doubled down

448
00:29:43.119 --> 00:29:47.279
this time by doxing Jane Doe and attempting to humiliate

449
00:29:47.400 --> 00:29:50.799
into silence this woman, who is thirty years his junior.

450
00:29:50.960 --> 00:29:55.039
Mister Sharp's aggressive approach will instead have the opposite effect.

451
00:29:55.160 --> 00:29:57.640
Miss Dae is not afraid to speak the truth. She

452
00:29:57.759 --> 00:30:01.039
relies upon it. I look forward to presenting all the

453
00:30:01.079 --> 00:30:05.400
evidence in this case through the judicial process, where as

454
00:30:05.599 --> 00:30:10.799
the truth matters more than a sports icon's desperate public spin.

455
00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:16.039
That was Busby's response, and shortly after that, Busby released

456
00:30:16.079 --> 00:30:19.440
a statement on acts as well, and I'm gonna read

457
00:30:19.480 --> 00:30:22.200
that statement to you, and he wrote, on the other hand,

458
00:30:22.279 --> 00:30:24.880
mister Sharp and his lawyers claimed that this case filed

459
00:30:24.920 --> 00:30:28.119
by Jane Doe as meritless. Yet on the other hand,

460
00:30:28.279 --> 00:30:31.720
they now have disclosed that mister Sharp offered Jane Doe

461
00:30:31.799 --> 00:30:35.440
ten million dollars in writing not to file her lawsuit.

462
00:30:35.640 --> 00:30:38.359
That is a true statement. Jane Doe was in fact

463
00:30:38.480 --> 00:30:41.759
offered ten million dollars to settle, but rejected the offer,

464
00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:46.079
choosing instead to proceed with litigation. Sharp's team is now

465
00:30:46.079 --> 00:30:49.359
trying to discredit and docks her. Sharp and his team

466
00:30:49.400 --> 00:30:53.559
are now, as anticipated, also attacking me. We are not

467
00:30:53.880 --> 00:30:58.039
going to be deterred by these tactics. So let's talk

468
00:30:58.079 --> 00:31:01.880
about that. Because Tony Busby does make a big deal

469
00:31:02.039 --> 00:31:05.519
over the fact that Shannon Sharp offer Jane Doe ten

470
00:31:05.559 --> 00:31:10.119
million dollars and what does that mean? Does that mean

471
00:31:10.160 --> 00:31:15.240
that he's guilty. No, absolutely not. This is the way

472
00:31:15.400 --> 00:31:20.599
these civil suits work typically, and some of this is

473
00:31:20.680 --> 00:31:24.079
in defense of Tony Busby because some people are saying

474
00:31:24.079 --> 00:31:27.680
that Tony Busby is extorting along with this Jane Doe,

475
00:31:28.440 --> 00:31:32.119
Shannon Sharp. Basically, they went behind the scenes and they said,

476
00:31:32.160 --> 00:31:34.200
if you want to make this go away, give us

477
00:31:34.480 --> 00:31:39.319
X amount of dollars. That's not extortion. That's exactly how

478
00:31:39.480 --> 00:31:43.559
civil cases like this work. All of us would be

479
00:31:43.640 --> 00:31:47.960
surprised at not only the amount of celebrities that this

480
00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:51.720
occurs with, but the amount they're willing to pay to

481
00:31:51.839 --> 00:31:57.079
make things go away that aren't even true. Why is that, Well,

482
00:31:57.799 --> 00:32:02.079
it's because even if and take out the fact that

483
00:32:02.160 --> 00:32:06.400
it's celebrity, it's really anyone in life, even if you

484
00:32:06.440 --> 00:32:10.240
didn't do something, if you're accused of something like this,

485
00:32:11.079 --> 00:32:15.119
it is a mark on you for the rest of

486
00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:20.119
your life. Even if you prove you're innocent. There's always

487
00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:23.039
going to be people that say, well, where there's smoke,

488
00:32:23.119 --> 00:32:27.400
there's fire, right, which is not true in all cases.

489
00:32:27.680 --> 00:32:30.960
So what these lawyers do for these people in these

490
00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:35.400
civil suits is they go to be accused and they

491
00:32:35.480 --> 00:32:38.599
make a dollar offer to make it go away. Then

492
00:32:38.680 --> 00:32:41.119
the lawyers for the ones that are accused, they break

493
00:32:41.160 --> 00:32:45.000
down the risk versus reward. If you're worth one hundred

494
00:32:45.039 --> 00:32:51.599
million dollars and someone wants, say a million dollars of that,

495
00:32:51.599 --> 00:32:54.960
that's a small percentage of your net worth and you

496
00:32:55.000 --> 00:32:59.279
can continue on in life without whatever it is they're

497
00:32:59.319 --> 00:33:02.680
accusing you of over your head, even if you didn't

498
00:33:02.680 --> 00:33:06.640
do it. And most celebrities, i'm gonna say, would pay

499
00:33:06.799 --> 00:33:11.960
that one million dollars to make that person go away,

500
00:33:13.599 --> 00:33:15.880
and they'd have him sign some sort of agreement to

501
00:33:16.000 --> 00:33:20.079
never talk about it, et cetera. This is really a

502
00:33:20.160 --> 00:33:24.480
textbook case of that in a lot of ways. Even

503
00:33:24.480 --> 00:33:26.799
if Shannon Sharp did not do this, and I have

504
00:33:26.920 --> 00:33:30.160
no direct knowledge obviously one way or the other. But

505
00:33:30.279 --> 00:33:33.839
even if he did not do it, there's one hundred

506
00:33:33.839 --> 00:33:38.319
million dollar podcast contract out there for him right now

507
00:33:38.480 --> 00:33:44.160
that he may not get because it came out just prior,

508
00:33:44.279 --> 00:33:48.039
I mean, the day before these allegations came out. And

509
00:33:48.119 --> 00:33:52.160
that's not fair if he didn't do this. So credit

510
00:33:52.200 --> 00:33:54.200
to him in a way for basically saying, I don't

511
00:33:54.200 --> 00:33:58.240
give a fuck, I'm not gonna pay this. This is

512
00:33:58.279 --> 00:34:02.039
a shakedown. I don't know if it is or not,

513
00:34:02.200 --> 00:34:06.079
but that's his claim. Now, if it went to court,

514
00:34:06.440 --> 00:34:09.960
both would take the stand, a jury would lessen and

515
00:34:10.079 --> 00:34:14.920
whoever they found more credible, more believable, that's who's gonna

516
00:34:14.960 --> 00:34:18.039
win the case. But there would never be any evidence

517
00:34:18.440 --> 00:34:22.320
outside of that. It is the true form of one

518
00:34:22.400 --> 00:34:27.039
person's word versus another person's. And some of you may

519
00:34:27.079 --> 00:34:31.000
be saying, well, how is this different than Ditty Jim.

520
00:34:31.360 --> 00:34:34.920
You're hard on Diddy, You're convinced he's done many of

521
00:34:34.960 --> 00:34:37.760
the things he's accused of. How can you be convinced

522
00:34:37.800 --> 00:34:41.440
of that and not convinced in the Machine and sharpcase. Well,

523
00:34:41.480 --> 00:34:46.239
that one's really easy to answer. There are a ton

524
00:34:46.599 --> 00:34:52.880
of differences in these two cases. Number one is Diddy

525
00:34:52.960 --> 00:34:57.119
had over one hundred different people saying he did these things,

526
00:34:57.159 --> 00:35:00.880
and their stories all seem to match. The way that

527
00:35:01.000 --> 00:35:04.639
Diddy would drug all these women, what he used to

528
00:35:04.719 --> 00:35:08.880
drug them, the method of delivery in which he drugged them,

529
00:35:09.559 --> 00:35:13.360
baby oil, etc. And did he had a reputation for

530
00:35:13.440 --> 00:35:18.239
that even before all this came out, going back years,

531
00:35:18.360 --> 00:35:23.039
I was talking about all of this before anybody else,

532
00:35:23.400 --> 00:35:28.239
was any media outlet or otherwise. But most importantly, in

533
00:35:28.360 --> 00:35:32.440
Something I noticed as dramatically different in these two cases

534
00:35:32.960 --> 00:35:40.039
is Sean Combs is under criminal charges by the federal government.

535
00:35:40.800 --> 00:35:45.840
Remember the federal government wins ninety eight percent of their cases.

536
00:35:46.159 --> 00:35:50.159
They don't bring a case unless they have hard ass

537
00:35:50.679 --> 00:35:56.039
evidence of what occurred. There are almost guaranteed to win criminally.

538
00:35:57.679 --> 00:36:00.840
And if you notice what's lacking in this case against

539
00:36:00.840 --> 00:36:07.280
Shannon Sharp, criminal charges which made no sense to me

540
00:36:07.920 --> 00:36:12.079
because the statute of limitations has not ran out on

541
00:36:12.199 --> 00:36:16.760
an alleged sexual assault slash rape that occurred in January

542
00:36:16.840 --> 00:36:21.760
twenty twenty five. Why were the police not called if

543
00:36:21.800 --> 00:36:25.559
it was worth fifty million dollars civilly, why is it

544
00:36:25.599 --> 00:36:29.159
not worth criminal charges? To this Jane? Though I don't know,

545
00:36:29.519 --> 00:36:34.519
it doesn't mean it didn't happen, but it's definitely something

546
00:36:34.679 --> 00:36:39.719
to be called into question. And it's a dramatic difference

547
00:36:39.800 --> 00:36:43.119
between the ditty case in the Shaman short case. Can

548
00:36:43.159 --> 00:36:45.199
she still bring criminal charges?

549
00:36:45.360 --> 00:36:45.599
Sure?

550
00:36:46.679 --> 00:36:51.199
Did she try and maybe didn't have any evidence? It's possible.

551
00:36:51.320 --> 00:36:54.599
I don't know. And keep in mind the burden of

552
00:36:54.760 --> 00:36:58.920
proof on criminal charges is much less than civil charges.

553
00:36:59.079 --> 00:37:03.599
Case in point O J. Simpson convicted civilly, but was

554
00:37:03.639 --> 00:37:08.039
found innocent criminally. Now I think evidence was there both ways,

555
00:37:08.079 --> 00:37:12.159
but that's just my opinion. But now I would imagine

556
00:37:12.480 --> 00:37:16.320
Shannon Sharp doesn't want to settle this case because he

557
00:37:16.360 --> 00:37:19.320
wants to clear his name if he indeed didn't do this.

558
00:37:19.559 --> 00:37:22.239
But the truth of the matter is he didn't want

559
00:37:22.280 --> 00:37:27.119
to go on trial either. I mean trial for something

560
00:37:27.159 --> 00:37:30.000
like this that's a year and a half process, and

561
00:37:30.079 --> 00:37:33.679
you're gonna have all this testimony come out, and even

562
00:37:33.760 --> 00:37:36.440
if he's wrongfully accused, you're gonna find out a lot

563
00:37:36.440 --> 00:37:39.679
of personal shit that needs to stay in the bedroom

564
00:37:39.800 --> 00:37:44.320
about Shannon Sharp. And it sounds like reading these texts

565
00:37:44.320 --> 00:37:47.400
they got a little freaky every now and then. It

566
00:37:47.440 --> 00:37:50.599
would just become a pr nightmare and it would cost

567
00:37:50.639 --> 00:37:54.320
him an ass load of money in future revenue just

568
00:37:54.440 --> 00:37:57.719
based off of the accusation, even if he didn't do it.

569
00:37:58.599 --> 00:38:02.639
And it's a conundrum because in our justice system there's

570
00:38:02.719 --> 00:38:07.320
a flaw with the everyday person these days. If someone

571
00:38:07.360 --> 00:38:10.840
accuses you, there's people out there they're going to believe

572
00:38:10.920 --> 00:38:14.519
you did something even when you didn't do it before

573
00:38:14.519 --> 00:38:17.239
you went on trial for it, even if you're found

574
00:38:17.280 --> 00:38:25.039
not guilty, guaranteed, it's just the way human beings brains work.

575
00:38:25.639 --> 00:38:30.840
I'll keep you posted on any further information that comes out,

576
00:38:30.840 --> 00:38:33.159
and I'm sure there'll be a lot, but I don't

577
00:38:33.199 --> 00:38:37.960
see this thing ever going to trial. I think that

578
00:38:38.119 --> 00:38:44.039
eventually this case is going to get settled and they're

579
00:38:44.039 --> 00:38:47.079
going to find a settlement somewhere in between five hundred

580
00:38:47.079 --> 00:38:50.800
thousand dollars and fifty million. That's what I think. It's

581
00:38:50.840 --> 00:38:56.039
just not worth it on Shannan's sharp side. Now, fifty

582
00:38:56.079 --> 00:38:58.159
million dollars, you better believe he's going to take that

583
00:38:58.199 --> 00:39:01.840
to trial. Five hundred thousand, maybe even a million. He

584
00:39:01.960 --> 00:39:04.639
may just pay it just to get her to go away,

585
00:39:05.480 --> 00:39:07.960
even if he didn't do it. That's the sad part

586
00:39:08.280 --> 00:39:13.199
of the justice system sometimes. So I hope you enjoyed this.

587
00:39:13.599 --> 00:39:17.039
I guess i'll call it emergency podcast. I didn't expect

588
00:39:17.079 --> 00:39:20.079
to do it, but I jumped right on it as

589
00:39:20.119 --> 00:39:22.159
soon as I saw it, and I had to release it.

590
00:39:23.480 --> 00:39:26.320
And that's all I have for you today. This is

591
00:39:26.400 --> 00:39:30.000
