“This is a shakedown. This isn’t right, so I’m going to be open, transparent and protect myself. All this is being adjusted by Tony Buzby,” Shape said. “Tony Buzbee is targeting black men. I think he’s going to release a 30-second clip of a sex tape that makes me feel guilty and tries to get me to play every stereotype I can imagine.”
In response to Davis and Sharp’s comments on Tuesday, Buzby confirmed the offer of settlement, denied the accusation that the video the plaintiff had had in some way changed, calling the allegations “clearly false but desperate.”
“There’s actually an incredibly terrible video. The content of that video speaks to the volume of Mr. Sharp and his actions. The video played by the ju-describers is very problematic for Mr. Sharp.’s team has made it clear that the video will try to make an effort to move forward with the effort.
Buzbee also said that the text Davis released just a day ago was a suspected date of the assault, and that the plaintiff ultimately refused the $10 million offer of settlement.
