The former NFL<\/a> tight end is now reportedly being sued for $20 million after claiming a woman\u2019s husband left her because she appeared in a flirty video with Usher.<\/p>\n

The woman, Jimalita Tillman, has filed a suit against Sharpe, his \u2018Nightcap\u2019 co-host Chad Johnson<\/a>, and Shay Shay Media, stating that she isn\u2019t getting a divorce and wasn\u2019t even married.<\/p>\n

According to court documents obtained by\u00a0The Sun<\/a>, Tillman has accused the hosts of knowingly propagating falsehoods about her marital status.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOn 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,\u201d the suit reads.<\/p>\n

\u201cFollowing 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.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tillman, the global director for the Harold Washington Cultural Center, said she had to appear on national media shows to rubbish claims of her being married, yet Sharpe and Johnson continued to post defamatory content on their social media pages.<\/p>\n

\u201cI made numerous efforts to contact the defendants to request the removal of this false narrative, but these requests were disregarded,\u201d she explained.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

She said the false claims caused \u201csignificant harm to my character and reputation,\u201d<\/em> also causing her emotional distress and affecting her personal and professional relationships.<\/p>\n

Tillman and her lawyers say they have been in contact with Shay Shay Media\u2019s legal team, who also represent the former ESPN analyst and will have more to report soon.<\/p>\n
