Shannon Sharpe Says He’s 'Embarrassed' After Video of Him and Woman Seemingly Having Sex Was Broadcast on His IG Live
Unc and Chad Johnson tell all in an emergency episode of 'Nightcap.'
Shannon Sharpe has something he would like to address.
Sharpe and Chad Johnson held an emergency episode of Nightcap on Wednesday night to discuss what happened when the NFL Hall of Famer's Instagram account went live earlier today and the sound of a man and woman having sex could be clearly heard on the stream.
Sharpe attempted to get ahead of the situation by warning people on Instagram Stories that he had been hacked earlier that day. However, that message has since been deleted.
Sharpe broke his silence a few hours ago with the announcement of the emergency Nightcap episode where Unc would tell all.
Sharpe confirmed he's the man who can be heard seemingly having sex on Instagram Live. The 56-year-old said he threw his phone on the bed and "engaged in an activity" when he happened to go live on Instagram.
An "embarrassed" and "disappointed" Unc said he has never been on Instagram Live and does not know how it even works. Sharpe was only made aware of what happened when someone reached out to him on his other phone and told him that he was on Instagram Live.
"Doing what?," he recalled asking, to which the person responded, "They can hear."
"Hear me doing what?," Sharpe fired back before receiving confirmation that he can be heard engaged in an "activity." "Man, my heart sank. It dropped." he added.
According to Sharpe, the since-deleted message that appeared on his IG page stating that he was hacked following the accidental explicit livestream was posted by a member of his team. Sharpe said he then called up his agent and ESPN to tell the truth. "It wasn't a prank. It was me being a healthy, active male," he said.
Sharpe also revealed that Katt Williams, who appeared as a guest on his 'Club Shay Shay' show earlier this year, called him after the incident to bust his chops.
"Five minutes before I came on, my phone rings. It's Katt Williams. The first thing out of his mouth—guess what he said Ocho?" he said to his cohost. "'You ain't gay today.'"
"I said, 'Come on, Katt,'" said Sharpe before letting out a big laugh.
