The accuser in the Shannon Sharpe lawsuit is Gabriella "Gabbi" Zuniga, a 20-year-old OnlyFans model who was previously referred to as "Jane Doe" in the legal filings. She filed a $50 million civil lawsuit against Sharpe, alleging rape, sexual assault, battery, emotional distress, and secretly recording intimate encounters without her consent. The relationship reportedly began in 2023 when Zuniga was 19 years old and involved a "rocky consensual relationship" that later turned abusive. Zuniga claims multiple instances of sexual assault, including incidents in October 2024 and January 2025, and alleges Sharpe threatened her and shared private recordings without permission

. Shannon Sharpe has denied all allegations, describing the lawsuit as a "shakedown" and presenting text messages and videos to support that the relationship was consensual. His lawyers released explicit texts purportedly from Zuniga that they say show a consensual and sexually explicit relationship initiated by her

. In summary, Gabriella Zuniga is widely identified as the accuser behind the "Jane Doe" pseudonym in the lawsuit accusing Shannon Sharpe of sexual assault and related claims.
