Michele Evans has submitted a motion seeking permission from the court to file a second amended complaint in the ongoing defamation lawsuit against Shannon Sharpe, former NFL player and current media personality. This motion, along with the proposed second amended complaint, has been filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, outlining a series of defamatory statements by Sharpe that have had a significant impact on Evans’ personal and professional life.

The second amended complaint introduces new evidence and statements that further support Evans’ claims of defamation, libel, slander, and emotional distress. These statements were reportedly made on various public platforms, including the Fox Sports national television show “Undisputed” and Sharpe’s YouTube channel “Nightcap.”
Evans, a former professional colleague of Sharpe and his former partner for over a decade, alleges that Sharpe’s actions and public statements have caused substantial emotional and reputational harm. The complaint delves into the psychological toll these events have taken on Evans, citing trauma, anxiety, and challenges in maintaining professional standing and employment.
In Evans’ words, “This lawsuit is not just about seeking justice for the personal wrongs that I have endured. It’s also about standing up to public figures who misuse their platforms to spread misinformation and harm others. No one should suffer in silence while their character and integrity are being publicly maligned.”
The second amended complaint traces incidents back to 2010, where Evans claims to have been assaulted by Sharpe, building a narrative of repeated defamation and emotional distress caused by Sharpe’s statements.
The objective is to hold Sharpe accountable for his actions and seek damages for the harm caused to Evans. According to our source Shannon has not responded to the lawsuit.
