Sherrone Moore's alleged mistress speaks out, claims 'years of manipulation' from disgraced ex-Michigan coach

Ed Orgeron tells Fox News Digital Sherrone Moore can bounce back from his firing and arrest and hopes he can get his mental health right.

Attorneys for Paige Shiver, the former executive assistant of ex-Michigan head football coach Sherrone Moore and his alleged mistress, released a statement after his no-contest plea that dropped some charges against him Friday. 

An Action Injury Law Group statement, obtained by Fox News Channel, claimed Shiver endured "years of manipulation, harassment, and exploitation by a man who held enormous power over her professional life as the head football coach of one of the nation’s most prominent college football programs."

The statement also accused Moore of creating an environment in which Shiver "felt pressured, intimated and unable to escape conduct that should never occur in any workplace — let alone at a public university."

The Chicago-based law group’s statement was first reported by The Detroit News.

Moore was facing charges of stalking, breaking and entering and home invasion at the apartment of Shiver, where authorities said he broke in to confront his alleged mistress to blame her for his dismissal. He allegedly threatened to kill himself with butter knives in the apartment.
