In a dramatic twist to the sports media world, former NFL wide receiver Terrell Owens has entered the fray of Shannon Sharpe’s latest social media scandal. The controversy erupted when a sexually explicit video was inadvertently posted on Sharpe’s Instagram account, featuring an audio track that left little to the imagination. The video has since been removed, but not before sparking a flurry of reactions across social media platforms.
Owens, never one to shy away from a good quip, took to X (formerly Twitter) to make light of the situation. He responded to clips from the controversial Instagram live session with a sarcastic comment: “I guarantee to you @espn HR is BUSY RIGHT NOW!!! Let’s see what they draft up to smooth this over. I know @NightcapShow_ is about to be LIT.” Owens‘ remark playfully insinuates that ESPN’s Human Resources team is likely scrambling to address the fallout, while also referencing Sharpe’s popular show with Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson.
Johnson’s supportive gesture
In a display of support for Sharpe amidst the chaos, Johnson posted a GIF of actor Denzel Washington, signaling his reaction to the unfolding drama. Despite the uproar, Sharpe’s face does not appear in the video, which has made its rounds on social media, with parts of the audio hinting at his involvement.
Sharpe’s hacked account claim
Sharpe initially attempted to deflect the blame by claiming his Instagram account had been hacked. In a now-deleted post on X, he wrote, “Beware my @shannonsharpe84 Instagram was hacked this morning. My team and I are working vigorously to figure this out – UNC.” The quick deletion of the post has fueled further speculation about the authenticity of his claim.
