The drama over Gabriella Zuniga’s star lawsuit against Shannon Sharpe has just hit an unexpected turn. Barely days since it was reported that the retired OnlyFans creator settled her multi-million-dollar suit with the NFL Hall of Famer, Zuniga posted on social media a mysterious Bible verse that left the internet reacting.
The Verse That Sparked Debate
In the Instagram Story, Zuniga revealed a line of text from scripture but blocked other portions tactfully with her hand. The portion she revealed was the following:
“I pulverize them like dust of the earth;
I crush them and trample them like mud in the streets.
You have freed me from the feuds among my people;
you have preserved me as head of nations; a people I had not known serve me.
Foreigners submit to me cringing; as soon as they hear, they obey me.
Foreigners lose heart and come trembling from their fortifications.
The LORD lives, blessed be my rock! God, the rock of my salvation, is exalted.
God, he grants me vengeance and casts down peoples under me.
He frees me from my enemies. You exalt me above my adversaries; you rescue me from violent men.”
The verse, filled with imagery of triumph, redemption, and divine retribution, immediately had tongues a-wagging about whether Zuniga was talking about her courtroom battle with Sharpe.
Social Media Reaction
Reaction was swift and split. Some saw the post as one of self-vindication, while others were condemning Zuniga for hypocrisy. The responses ranged from sarcastic to openly toxic:
- “This completes the finesse list.”
- “Hoes love running to the Bible after they did some foul shit like it’s gone save them.”
- “This is disgusting btw.”
- “Final form of a whore.”
- “Hoes always convert to religion.”
The hyperbolic responses both caricatured and underscored how the case has become a test case for arguments about morality, public rehabilitation, and performances of spontaneous religious conversion in the face of scandal.
From Lawsuit to Settlement
The scandal started in April 2025, when a woman called Jane Doe sued Sharpe for sexual assault for $50 million. The lawyers for Sharpe, Lanny J. Davis & Associates, later uncovered the accuser as Gabriella Zuniga, an OnlyFans adult content creator with millions of followers.
Sharpe, host of Club Shay Shay, dismissed all of the allegations as “a blatant and cynical attempt to shake down Mr. Sharpe for millions of dollars” and characterized the claims as “lies, distortions, and misrepresentations.”.
Last month, Zuniga’s attorney, Tony Buzbee, announced that “a mutually agreed upon resolution” had been reached by both parties, and that the case was “closed” with the lawsuit being dismissed with prejudice. While the settlement figure was not released, several outlets have reported it to be in the multi-million-dollar range.
Exit from OnlyFans
Prior to news of settlement, Zuniga announced her retirement from OnlyFans through a since-deleted Instagram post:
“Today, I have decided to retire from OF. Thank you for the incredible support you’ve shown me over the past few years. This community has given me a life I could have never imagined… I’m truly excited for this next chapter. I love you all forever and ever.”
Her departure from the adult site, along with the religiously inspired post, has generated rumors that she is attempting a public rebranding after her court battle.
