Just one day after reaching a confidential settlement in her $50 million civil lawsuit against Shannon Sharpe, 21-year-old Gabriella Zuniga announced her retirement from OnlyFans. In an Instagram post shared on Saturday (July 19), Zuniga thanked her followers for their support and hinted at upcoming projects, writing, “I’m truly excited for this next chapter. I love you all forever and ever.”
The announcement came hours after her attorney, Tony Buzbee, confirmed the case had been “resolved” following what he described as “lengthy and respectful negotiations.” Filed in April under a Jane Doe alias, the lawsuit accused Sharpe of sexual assault and emotional abuse during what was later described in a joint statement as a “tumultuous, long-term consensual relationship.” The case was dismissed with prejudice, meaning it cannot be refiled, and neither party admitted to any wrongdoing.
Sharpe, 56, had strongly denied all allegations, calling the lawsuit a “blatant and cynical attempt to shake down” the NFL Hall of Famer. His legal team said text messages and video evidence proved the relationship was consensual, though the case still prompted Sharpe to temporarily step away from his ESPN duties.
Zuniga’s retirement marks a major shift for the young influencer, who had reportedly been earning six figures per month on OnlyFans. With the media frenzy surrounding the lawsuit beginning to cool, her decision to walk away from adult content signals a desire to reset her public image and move on from a highly publicized chapter in her life.
