The controversy intensified with the reported leak of explicit text messages allegedly exchanged between Sharpe and Zuniga. These messages have sparked widespread speculation and debate online, though their authenticity and context remain subjects of dispute. Sharpe’s legal team has also dismissed an alleged audio call as part of a broader smear campaign, emphasizing that the relationship was consensual and involved role-playing scenarios, as stated here.

In an attempt to resolve the matter, Sharpe reportedly offered a $10 million settlement to Zuniga prior to the lawsuit being filed. However, Zuniga seemingly declined the offer, leading to the current legal proceedings.

Sharpe’s attorney, Lanny Davis, has indicated plans to countersue both Zuniga and her attorney, Tony Buzbee, for defamation, asserting that the accusations are false and damaging to Sharpe’s reputation.
