Shannon Sharpe's Accuser Sparks Controversy After $20M Settlement

Shannon Sharpe's accuser Gabriella Zuniga is back in headlines, not for legal reasons this time, but for a bold Instagram post following her recent $20 million settlement. Zuniga, who accused Sharpe of sexual assault and was reportedly his ex-girlfriend, posted a mirror selfie wearing all black and sunglasses with a message that raised eyebrows. The caption read, “From now on, when you talk to me or ABOUT me, refer to me as Gabriella Zuniga, Ma’am, The Don or Boss.”

The post has since been deleted, but the reaction was loud and immediate. Social media users described her message as “petty,” “disrespectful,” and “unnecessary,” particularly given the sensitive nature of the case. Others turned their attention to Sharpe, saying he let things go too far.
