Denver Broncos legend Shannon Sharpe sent social media into a frenzy with his controversial Instagram live video. The ESPN sports analyst went live while having sexual intercourse with an unknown woman, which has everyone talking. Former NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas also commented on social media, taking shots at Sharpe.
The “Club Shay Shay” podcast host initially claimed his account was hacked but later revealed the truth. During an emergency episode of his ‘Nightcap’ podcast with Chad Johnson, the 56-year-old acknowledged his carelessness that caused the whole drama.
While many fans disagreed with Sharpe’s tweet claiming the account was hacked, the “Gil’s Arena” podcast host took a swipe at the NFL Hall of Famer. Arenas took to X and wrote, “Need one of yall to hack my IG live,” with a laughing emoji.
Need one of yall to hack my IG live 😂

He added, “This was not staged. I came in, I threw my phone on the bed, engaged in an activity,” he said. “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.”
Sharpe’s voice can be heard in the live video, but his face was not visible. The NFL legend apologized to his children and close ones but not for the act, claiming millions and billions engage in such activities.
