Dave Portnoy has appeared in the latest episode of the Shannon Sharpe podcast while the former NFL star continues to fight for a $ 50 million sexual violence lawsuit.
Sharpe, 56, temporarily stepped away from his role on ESPN who took last month after he was accused of rape by an ex-girlfriend he met when she was only 19.
Since that lawsuit became public knowledge, another of his former flames, Michele Evans, has also emerged and the Daily Mail told about individual allegations of sexual violence from their own relationship.
Sharpe denies furious misconduct and says in a statement when announcing his temporary first departure that he will “deal with these false and disturbing accusations against me.”
And in the midst of the accusations, the Denver Broncos legend is accompanied in the latest episode of his podcast ‘Club Shay Shay’ by Barrstool Sports founder Portnoy.
The link-up of the couple comes only a month after Portnoy has revealed that Sharpe has assigned him ‘the greatest insult of my professional career’ by not bringing any of his previous performances on the podcast.

‘Never broadcast! I did a pleasure, my time! Spick it, “he said at the Barrestool Rundown Podcast. “Why would he still hold it? No, you’re not banking for years. Listen, I walked outside, I didn’t think it was great, but I didn’t think it was getting pointed. What an insult! ‘
However, Sharpe announced on Wednesday that he will release a podcast episode with Portnoy at noon, although it is unclear whether it is the same that the Sportmedia -Tycoon claims ‘spiked’ or whether it is a more recent interview.
If the latter, it would be a stunning show of support in the midst of the shocking allegations that are leveled in Sharpe.
In the past, Portnoy has had to deal with scandals after being accused of sexual misconduct in a 2021 business insider, who claimed that he had violent and aggressive sexual meetings with women and that he filmed them without their permission.
“I literally screamed with pain,” a woman said.
He fiercely denied the claims and insisted that the article had been a ‘hit piece’ that had been in the works for eight months and claimed that the article insinuated that he was a rapist.
After a second piece of sexual misconduct was published, Portnoy later sued Insider and claimed that the report was ‘false and defamatory’, but the court case was eventually rejected and he dropped his profession in 2023. He was never accused of any crime.
Sharpe, who won Super Bowls like an NFL -STRAK END, initially continued with his planned performances on ESPN’s first take last month after the Bombshell Rape’s right case became public knowledge.
Last month Portnoy said that Sharpe had ‘offended’ him by nailing one of his podcast appearances in

Sharpe is now ready to release an episode with Portnoy, although it is unclear when it was filmed
But on 24 April he announced that he temporarily abandoned his TV tasks in the midst of the current scandal.
After he had been affected by the lawsuit, the legal team of the ESPN personality in secret accused the claimant to register a ‘consensual’ sexual encounter with the intention of working against him in her case and to imagine it.
According to TMZ SportsSharpe’s rape declaration will not post the images on social media, because it is ‘important evidence’ in its lawsuit.
“The only reason you know about the existence of a video recording is that Mr Sharpe specifically referred to it in his bulls *** statement,” said the plaintiff’s lawyer Tony Buzbee. ‘The content of the video was shared during the mediation process with the Sharpe lawyers.
‘Again, Sharpe and his team have announced that, not us. Sharpe himself was offered more than once to view it himself. He refused. We have never made claims or threats about it and will not do that. ‘
“And no,” he added, “we will not ‘release’ the video because it is important evidence in the case and will be treated as such.”
A separate prosecutor also emerged in a shocking interview with the Daily Mail to describe the disturbing parallels between the $ 50 million rape procedure and her own 15-year legal battle with the NFL Great.
“I was activated, fully activated,” said Michele Evans, now 52, about the denials of Sharpe. “I immediately believed her. How could I not go after what I experienced? ‘

Evans claimed that she was romantically involved in the Denver Broncos End in the early 2000s when she worked as a local television signor for the team.
But Evans’ relationship with Sharpe came to an abrupt end in 2010 when he raped her orally and vaginal, according to legal archives.
A spokesperson for Sharpe told The Daily Mail that her claims are ridiculous and completely without merit. ‘
And his lawyers continued: ‘It should not be a surprise That when someone is famous the news, all kinds of people crawl out of the woodwork to share their connection with that person in an attempt to take advantage of that alleged relationship.
“In many cases, those stories or accusations are nothing more than old news, imaginative exaggerations or sometimes flagrant wrong representation.”
The statement continued: ‘Unfortunately, Mrs Evans became obsessed with Shannon and decided to produce a claim against him.
“When she couldn’t find a lawyer to pursue her shameful story, she submitted a civilian complaint in herself that is completely devoid of merit.”
