A woman who went viral when R&B singer Usher flirted with her at his concert earlier this year has sued Shannon Sharpe for $20 million.
In court documents exclusively obtained by The U.S. Sun, Jimalita Tillman is suing Shannon Sharpe, his “Nightcap” podcast co-host Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson, and Shannon’s production company, Shay Shay Media.
It all started when Usher picked Tillman out of the crowd and flirted with her at his concert at London’s 02 Arena in April.
Tillman claimed that after the concert, Shannon and Ochocinco commented on her interaction with Usher on their “Nightcap” podcast. They said she was married and her husband filed for divorce, despite her being single.
“Following 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,” Tillman said. “I am not married, nor am I currently going through a divorce.”

She continued: “I was not married at the time of the fan participation moment during the Usher concert.”
Videos from the concert were shared widely across the U.S., and viewed millions of times.
Tillman said her reputation was ruined by the false narratives. She is asking for $20 million for her pain and suffering.
