Shannon Sharpe, the host of the popular sports and pop culture podcast “Club Shay Shay” and a former N.F.L. player, was sued by an ex-girlfriend who accused him of rape and sexual assault during a nearly two-year relationship.
The woman, who is described as being in her early 20s, submitted the complaint anonymously on Sunday in Clark County, Nev., and is seeking $50 million in damages. She says in the lawsuit that Mr. Sharpe, 56, raped her in her apartment in October and January.
The lawsuit says that, during the encounters, Mr. Sharpe forced himself upon the woman as she sobbed and begged for him to stop.
