Everyone witnessed what happened to Shannon Sharpe’s Instagram Live. It was bizarre that one of the most known former NFL stars had to go with this.

Former ESPN host Michelle Beadle took the opportunity to address the recent viral Instagram Live incident involving Sharpe, clarifying that she was not the unidentified person present in the NSFW video. 

The mention of the name 'Michelle' within the video sparked speculation and Beadle capitalized on this by humorously denying any involvement. Sharpe and his podcast co-host Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson engaged in light-hearted banter about the situation.

Taking to her X/Twitter handle, Beadle wrote, “It was not me. 😀”


This clarification came in the wake of the social media buzz surrounding the former ESPN host as she took a moment to bash off any speculation of her linking up with the incident.

She seemed to take the right stance at the right time as Sharpe's inadvertent Instagram blunder quickly became a trending topic on social media, garnering significant attention for his Night Cap episode. The NFL Hall of Famer initially claimed his account was hacked but later admitted to accidentally going live on Instagram, expressing embarrassment over the incident. 


Despite the initial challenges in coping with the fallout, Sharpe and his co-host managed to find humor in the situation, showcasing resilience and a lighthearted approach to addressing the controversy.

While there has been no official word on potential repercussions for Sharpe following the incident, comparisons have been drawn to past actions taken by ESPN in response to similar situations involving on-air personalities. Despite the potential risks, Sharpe has maintained transparency with ESPN and showcased levity in addressing the incident. 


After Sharpe’s admission that he was not potentially hacked, the former tight end received support from individuals like Marcus Jordan, who publicly backed Sharpe during this challenging time. 


Chad Johnson, the co-host of Nightcap, found himself in an interesting position following the viral incident involving his co-host Shannon Sharpe. After Sharpe claimed that his Instagram account had been hacked, Johnson took the opportunity to respond to his colleague's predicament with a sly sense of humor. Critics would say that it was the perfect opportunity for him to poke some fun at the situation, particularly after Sharpe had recently scolded him for his lack of professionalism.

Johnson's response to his ESPN co-worker's situation stirred up quite a buzz, especially since it came after Ryan Clark and Damien Woody had also voiced their reactions. As for Marcus Spears, he chose to remain on the sidelines and avoid becoming embroiled in the controversy.

The situation has triggered a storm of memes and speculations, and it's likely that more ESPN figures will chime in with their thoughts.
