Shannon Sharpe’s $20 million defamation case has been settled.

According to Complex, Jimalita Tillman, who initially filed the lawsuit against Sharpe, Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson, Christian Dear, and Sharpe’s company, Shay Shay Media, issued a statement saying she was “pleased with the outcome.”

“We were able to put this matter behind us without a long-drawn-out court matter,” she explained. “We look forward to future discussions about the positive contributions Mr. Sharpe and I both make to the community. I wish him, his family, and his business endeavors continued success.”

In the suit, Tillman claimed that Sharpe and Ochocinco “made and disseminated false and defamatory statements suggesting that I was married and that my husband was filing for divorce” because of her appearance in a viral clip from Usher’s concert performance in April.

“'On April 2, 2025, I participated in a fan engagement moment at a Usher Raymond concert where I interacted with the artist as a selected audience member,” the suit read.

“Following this event, the defendants made and disseminated false and defamatory statements suggesting that I was married and that my husband was filing for divorce due to my participation in this audience experience, I am not married, nor am I currently going through a divorce,” the filing continued.

In July, ESPN announced that Sharpe was being released from the network after he settled a $50 million lawsuit that accused him of rape and sexual assault.
