Hall of Fame tight end Shannon Sharpe has settled a lawsuit brought by an anonymous woman in April accusing him of sexual assault, the women's attorney said in a Friday afternoon statement.
"Both sides acknowledge a long-term consensual and tumultuous relationship. After protracted and respectful negotiations, I’m pleased to announce that we have reached a mutually agreed upon resolution," attorney Tony Buzbee said in a statement via TMZ and Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk. "All matters have now been addressed satisfactorily, and the matter is closed. The lawsuit will thus be dismissed with prejudice."
