Gabriella Zuniga quietly deleted a post that set social media on fire over the weekend. The X-year-old shared a mirror selfie, demanding to be called by her new title. However, her fashionable look and caption didn’t hit how she seemingly thought it would. Instead, social media read it as her flaunting the alleged millions she received in a sexual battery lawsuit settlement with Shannon Sharpe.

As mentioned, Ms. Zuniga ruffled features after snapping a mirror selfie while wearing an all-black pantsuit with sleeves and a black top under her jacket. In one hand, she was gripping a Chanel bag. Additionally, she had dark sunglasses with what looked like a fresh press! Visuals aside, the caption is what really riled the internet up.
“From now on, when you talk to me or ABOUT me, refer to me as Gabriella Zuniga, Ma’am, The Don or Boss,” she wrote.

Change Of Heart? Social Post Disappears After Going Viral
Zuniga’s post got more than a short-lived moment on the internet. While some social media users tore into her, questioning the taunting, others have tipped their hats. Either way, it appears Gabriella didn’t let it sit long. The post is gone as of Sunday, and the link says it may have been deleted. Meanwhile, her profile bio says, “Lady Boss.”
Her bold caption comes about a month after she revealed she’s done making content on OnlyFans. At the time, she had reportedly just settled with the former ESPN commentator.
“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’ll still be active on social media and have several new projects in the works that I can’t wait to share! I’m truly excited for this chapter. I love you all forever and ever,” Gabriella Zuniga wrote in her retirement post.
Gabriella’s Settlement & What It Cost Shannon
As previously reported, Gabriella Zuniga sued Shannon Sharpe for $50 million, accusing him of sexual battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Her lawyer confirmed they settled in July, but the details remain undisclosed. Some reports have speculated that the former sex worker got between $10 to $20 million from Shannon Sharpe. He said early on that Gabrielle Zuniga’s lawsuit was packed with lies and distortions.
Then the bombshell text messages between him and her came out. Explicit, racially-charged, and even her confronting him for engaging in anal sex and not using protection despite her objection. “I don’t care what our history is, no means no, Shannon,” one message from her to Shannon Sharpe. The messages dated back to 2023.
Audio, also released by TMZ, seemingly hears Shannon threatening to choke Gabriella. Soon after that, Shannon announced his temporary departure from ESPN. By July of this year, that departure became permanent. At the time, he said he’s made peace with the network’s decision, but pleaded with the public not to take away from his older brother Sterling’s moment, who was getting inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. For now, Shannon hasn’t said anything about Zuniga’s post-and-delete on Insta.
