Shannon Sharpe, the former NFL star turned sports analyst, was spotted cozying up with a cute female fan at an event in Nevada last year. A video obtained by TMZ Sports from the Mr. Olympia festivities at Las Vegas’ Resorts World in October 2024 shows Sharpe in great spirits as he interacts with the fan.
In the clip, Sharpe and the fan hit it off immediately, with Sharpe giving her his full attention and hanging on to her every word as she whispers into his ear. The two also posed for photos together, with Sharpe even using her pen to write something on her t-shirt near her neck. The pair exchanged whispers multiple times during the interaction, although the content of their conversations remains unclear.
Before the encounter with the fan, Sharpe was followed around the resort by a cameraman from vegasstudio.biz and was quite popular with the crowd, even taking selfies with fans. While Sharpe seemed to be in great spirits throughout the event, he appeared to give more attention to the young woman.
While there was nothing inappropriate happening between Sharpe and the fan in the video, it is worth noting that it took place around the same time that Sharpe faced accusations of forcing himself onto a separate woman in a rape lawsuit. Sharpe has vehemently denied any wrongdoing, claiming that his encounters with the accuser were purely consensual BDSM encounters.
According to sources, Sharpe engaged in kinky sex with the accuser approximately 100 times over a span of two years in Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Despite the controversy surrounding him, Sharpe continues to maintain his innocence and enjoy interactions with fans at public events.
