Sherrone Moore's Accuser Still Employed at University of Michigan, School Says

The woman involved in the Sherrone Moore scandal at the University of Michigan still has her job in the athletic department.

According to a report from TMZ Sports on Friday, December 12, the school told the outlet that the football staff member in question is still employed in the same role.

"There is no change in her employment status," the school said, per the outlet.

Moore, 39, was fired from his role as head coach of the football team on Wednesday, December 10, after an alleged relationship with the staff member came to light.

"U-M head football coach Sherrone Moore has been terminated, with cause, effective immediately," athletic director Warde Manuel announced Wednesday in a statement. "Following a University investigation, credible evidence was found that Coach Moore engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member. This conduct constitutes a clear violation of University policy, and U-M maintains zero tolerance for such behavior."

After Moore was informed of the decision, he allegedly "barged his way" into the apartment of the woman involved, threatening to kill himself in front of her with a butter knife and scissors.

"[Moore] immediately then proceeded to a kitchen drawer, grabbed several butter knives and a pair of kitchen scissors and began to threaten his own life," said Kati Rezmierski, first assistant prosecutor for Washtenaw County, during an arraignment hearing on Friday, December 12.

Moore allegedly told the woman, "I'm going to kill myself. I'm going to make you watch. My blood is on your hands. You ruined my life."

At the hearing, Rezmierski claimed Moore continued with additional "threatening, intimidating, terrifying" statements, when the woman eventually told Moore she was going to call the police.

Moore then fled the apartment and was arrested shortly after at a local church.

According to a 911 dispatch obtained by TMZ Sports, the woman claimed that Moore had been "stalking her for months."

Authorities arrived on the scene around 4:10 p.m. "for the purposes of investigating an alleged assault" and took an individual into custody, according to the Pittsfield Police Department. The Detroit News later confirmed Moore was the person arrested.

He was booked at Washtenaw County Jail at 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday.

On Friday, Moore was charged with one count of third-degree felony home invasion, one count misdemeanor stalking related to a domestic relationship and one count misdemeanor breaking and entering.

A judge granted him a $25,000 cash surety bond under the condition he not contact the victim and that he wear a GPS tether. A probable cause conference is set for January 22.

Rezmierski continued, claiming Moore and the woman had been in a relationship for years, and that the woman broke things off on Monday.

In a separate 911 call, Moore's wife, Kelli, told dispatchers that her husband was "suicidal" about losing his job, according to the audio obtained by TMZ Sports on Thursday.

Former Michigan football coach and current Los Angeles Chargers coach Jim Harbaughaddressed the incident during media availability on Friday, December, 12.

"I'm still processing that," Harbaugh, 61, said. "Still processing that like a lot of people I'm sure."

Moore replaced Harbaugh as head coach of the Wolverines in 2024, after Harbaugh took the head coaching job with the Chargers. Before that, Moore served as the team's offensive coordinator and was the team's interim head coach for four games in 2024 as Harbaugh served a suspension.

Us Weekly has reached out to Moore's attorney for comment.
