NFL Hall of Famer and ESPN host Shannon Sharpe has apologized after he mistakenly live-streamed a sex act on his Instagram account, but what does his employer think about it?
Sharpe – who won three Super Bowls during his 14-year career – accidentally went live on Instagram on Wednesday and was heard having sex with an unknown woman.
The video did not depict the intimate act.
That may be the reason why ESPN made their decision on him.
According to TMZ Sports, ESPN is not expected to discipline Shannon Sharpe for going live on Instagram and having sex with a woman.
He was noticeably absent from First Take on Thursday, but that has nothing to do with what happened.
“A source at the network tells us … Sharpe’s absence from Thursday’s “First Take” had nothing to do with what went down on his Instagram some 24 hours ago — as his usual days off are Thursdays and Fridays.”
