BuzzFeed Homepage

NFL Hall of Famer and media personality Shannon Sharpe is not returning to his hosting duties at ESPN after he settled a civil lawsuit with his ex-girlfriend, who accused him of sexual assault and rape, according to multiple reports.

Shannon was not criminally charged with rape or sexual assault, and the settlement is not an admission of liability.

On July 30, two weeks after the settlement was reached with the woman known as "Jane Doe" in the suit, ESPN officially cut ties with Shannon, The Athletic reported.
