On Wednesday’s “Nightcap” episode with Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson, Sharpe did, however, acknowledge that his phone was never compromised and that he unintentionally joined Instagram Live during the private moment.
Because he is extremely private” and always tries to be professional whether or not he is in a public environment, Sharpe said he felt “embarrassed” and “disappointed” in himself.
“I’m embarrassed for a number of reasons. People count on Shannon to be professional at all times. And I always try to be professional at all times, even when I’m behind closed doors,” he said.
After hearing from his loved ones, friends, and staff, the podcast host said that his heart “dropped” to learn about what had transpired. Sharpe claims that his staff ended the livestream and posted the message on his behalf; he was unaware that he was even on Instagram Live at the time.
