NFL Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe is making the most of his post-retirement career as a sports analyst and television personality. On Wednesday, the former Denver Broncos tight end caused a stir on social media with his leaked Instagram live video while having sexual intercourse. Former Los Angeles Lakers star Dwight Howard is one of the ex-NBA players who reacted to the incident.
Sharpe went live on Instagram and was heard involved in a sexual activity with an unknown woman. The ESPN analyst’s voice can be heard in the live video, but his face was not visible.
Howard, who plays for the Taiwan Mustangs in the Asian Tournament, couldn’t refrain from commenting on the incident. Known for his hilarious social media videos, the former NBA center took to X and revealed why Sharpe had staged the incident. The 2010 NBA champion wrote, “He staged that for views.”
Did Shannon Sharpe Stage His IG Live Incident?
After the incident, Sharpe’s X account claimed that his Instagram had been hacked. However, in the ‘Nightcap’ podcast, Sharpe told Chad Johnson that his account was not hacked, and his carelessness caused the embarrassment.
The sports analyst apologized to his children and close ones for the “embarrassing” incident. Sharpe claimed that it was not staged and that he was unfamiliar with Instagram Live. He said, “This was not staged. I came in, I threw my phone on the bed, engaged in an activity. I did not know IG Live. I’ve never been on IG Live. I’ve never turned IG Live on, so I don’t know how it works.”
Many fans agreed with Dwight Howard that the former tight end staged the controversy to get views, while a few expressed support for Shannon Sharpe in the comments section. Apart from Howard, Gilbert Arenas also reacted to the incident, taking a shot at the former Denver Broncos star.
