SHANNON SHARPE ACCUSER GABBY ZUNIGA RETIRES AT 22 AFTER $20M SETTLEMENT — NOW LIVING A LIFE OF LUXURY
Gabby Zuniga, the 22-year-old woman who accused NFL legend and media personality Shannon Sharpe of sexual assault, has officially announced her retirement — and she’s doing it in full luxury mode.
As previously reported by Media Take Out, Gabby recently reached a stunning $20 million settlement in her lawsuit against Sharpe. While neither party admitted fault publicly as part of the agreement, insiders claim the settlement was swift and massive. Sources close to the deal allege that Sharpe was forced to sell off half of his podcasting empire — including stakes in “Nightcap” and other high-value digital assets — just to fund the payout.
Now, Gabby Zuniga is making headlines again, this time for walking away from the spotlight altogether.
“I’m officially retired,” Gabby announced on Instagram this week, paired with a photo of her lounging on a private yacht in Ibiza, champagne glass in hand. “No more OF. No more training. Just peace, healing, and luxury.”
Whew. Must be nice.
Before the lawsuit and massive payout, Gabby was known for her work as a personal trainer and OnlyFans model, building a modest but loyal following online. But all that changed after her legal battle with Sharpe went public late last year. The case quickly dominated headlines, with social media users split over the allegations — and even more surprised by the quiet but sizable settlement.
Now, with $20 million in the bank and no more clients or content to post, Gabby is living a life most 22-year-olds only dream of.
“She’s unbothered, unfazed, and unbooked,” one insider told Media Take Out. “She said she’s done working forever.”
Meanwhile, the fallout for Shannon Sharpe continues. Though he hasn’t publicly addressed the lawsuit since the settlement, fans noticed changes to his business structure — including new voices appearing on his podcast and rumored investor shakeups behind the scenes.
Some fans are calling Gabby’s retirement a “glow-up of the decade,” while others continue to question the details behind the sudden settlement and the decision to keep everything sealed.
But one thing’s clear: Gabby Zuniga is no longer grinding for the bag — she already secured it.
