Speaker 1 (00:03):
Today's a different day because of where I have to
get started and where I have to finish. There's only
going to be one subject discussed today, and it's where
we're getting started. It's involving some news that broke yesterday,
involving Shannon's Sharp, my colleague at ESPN, and my friend
the Hall of Fame. Tight End was sued on Sunday
(00:24):
by a woman proceeding under the name Jane Doe pseudonym.
The thirteen paid civil complaint filed the Nevada allegens that
Sharp committed assault, sexual assault, battery, and sexual battery. The
plaints of allegeds Sharp sexually assaulted her several times at
the end of twenty twenty four in the beginning of
(00:45):
twenty twenty five. The suit also alleges that Shannon engaged
in the intentional infliction of emotional distress. It should be
noted that the suit was filed by attorney Tony Buzby.
This is the same attorney that filed a suit again
Sin jay Z and p Diddy alleging they both sexually
assaulted a minor, which has since been withdrawn. Jay Z
(01:11):
also has countersued Buzzby. By the way, the plaintiff in
a Sharp civil suit is not the woman heard in
the accidental Instagram live stream incident that made headlines last
September of last year.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
In response to the.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Suit, Shannon and his legal team went to social media
yesterday and released a series of allegedly sexually explicit text
messages between him and the Jane Doe. In addition to that,
they issued the following statement. Quote, this lawsuit, filed by
Gabriella Zuninga and orchestrated by her attorney Tony Busby, is
(01:50):
a blatant and cynical attempt to shake down mister Sharp
for millions of dollars. It is filled with lies, distortions,
and misrepresentations.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Will not succeed. End quote.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Then earlier today, Jane Doe's attorney, Tony Busby, sent TMZ
sports a one minute and thirty six second clip of
an alleged conversation between his client and Shannon. In response
to that clip, Shannon Sharp went back to social media
(02:22):
and issued this response.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Take a look to.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
My family, friends, supporters, and colleagues. I want to speak
to you directly and from the heart. This is a shakedown.
I'm going to be open, transparent, and defend myself because
this isn't right. This is all being orchestrated by Tony Busby,
who is targeted jay Z. Tony Buzzby targets black men,
and I believe he's going to release a thirty second
clip of a sex tape that tries to make me
(02:47):
look guilty and played into every stereotype you could possibly imagine.
That video should actually be ten minutes or so. Hey, Tony,
instead of releasing your edit, put the whole video out.
I don't have it, or I will myself. You know
what happened, and you're trying to manipulate the media. The
encounter in question took place during the day at her
inpretation and now that appears to be able deliver it
(03:09):
self coordinated by Gaddy also known as Carly On OnlyFans,
Gaddy and Tony Busby want fifty million dollars. What they're
getting is sued for defamation and trying to take me down.
My career is all about real talk and honesty. I
know my family and fans know exactly what this is about,
and I'm going to be out there telling you whatever
(03:29):
I need to say, just like I always do.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I love all of you.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Guys.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Thanks, Well, it's a sad situation. Shannon Sharp is somebody
I work with a couple of days a week. Shannon
(03:57):
Sharp is somebody that I brought to ESPN. Works on
First Take, which is on ESPN every weekday morning from
ten am to twelve noon Eastern Standard time. He's been
with me every Monday and Tuesday. We've been number one
for thirteen years in counting. But since Shannon has arrived, obviously,
(04:21):
he's helped the show immensely and I can't thank him
enough for it. We've grown close as friends. I'd like
to believe that I certainly root for him. I know
(04:42):
he's been through a lot in life. He's overcome a
lot of things, and when he departed from Fox, I
was more than happy to bring him on board here.
So all I can speak to about is what I
(05:03):
know based on the reports, and I can speak about
ESPN and Disney.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
To be clear, even though this podcast, this YouTube show is.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Owned and operated by me solely, it doesn't mean that
I'm going to be dismissive of ESPN, who employs me
in my daytime job on First ac. So I sit
here before you today letting you know that they are
aware that this is a subject that I was going
(05:41):
to broach because I owe them that courtesy. With that
being said, it's important to point out a couple of things.
Number One, I was not there. I am not I
can provide no I in this account. And even though
(06:02):
I got love and respect for Shannon Sharp and I'm
sincerely hopeful and prayerful that he is completely innocent of
the allegations that have been levied against him, I can't
sit here and speak to his innocence or guilt from
a knowledgeable place because I have nothing to do with this.
(06:25):
I haven't seen anything, I don't know anything. I don't
even know this person. I know what the reports say,
I know the reports, the things that have been reported
on a multitude of outlets, from the AP to the
New York Polls to Ford.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
To TMZ and everything in between.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
I mean, I can't even count the number of publications
that have talked about it or written about it, networks, etc.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
It's all over the Internet. It's everywhere.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
And I know that I'm fully aware of that. This
is not a criminal case, so it's not there is
no concern about him going to jail. This is a
civil case, which means that he can either be found
liable or not liable. The accuser in question is seeking
(07:17):
fifty million dollars. That was confirmed by Shannon Sharp on
that video today. According to the reports, it's somebody that
he met in twenty and twenty three who was nineteen
years old at that particular moment in time.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
According to some audio that was put out.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Early to this today by Attorney Buzby, you hear the accuser,
the female, talking to somebody who is alleged to be
Shannon Shop. We don't know whether that's true or not.
And the person in question, again, we don't know whether
(08:03):
Shannon or not. Other the words choke as then I
will choke the hell out of you if I saw you.
And so, because of that, knowing that audio was probably
going to come out, along with additional tapes, whether they
be video or audio is unclear at this particular moment
in time, Shannon Sharp felt compelled to come out in
(08:26):
his own defense. How we the interpret that. Let me
be very very clear about where I'm coming from. I'm
a bit torn in terms of his response. On one hand,
Tony Buzby has sued Jay Z, he did sue Denny.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
He did accuse.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Them or represented the woman who was accusing them of
assault of sexual assault and said that she was thirteen
years of age at the time when talking about jay
Z and Diddy, and jay Z went ballistic and emphatically
denied it.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Wouldn't let it go.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
The case was dropped, and now he's suing Buzzby, mentioning
words like extortion and other things. So when Shannon Sharp
brought up mister Buzzby in that video that we aired
and talked about him being extorted, he brought up mister
(09:39):
Buzzby and mister Buzzby's past, and he talked about him
going against African American men.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
There's two thoughts there.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
On one hand, there's the jay Z, who obviously should
be presumed innocent, not just because you should be presumed
in cent until found guilty, but because of the man
in which he fought on his own behalf and has
been very aggressive and going after Tony Busby in the
case of P Diddy. In a case of P Diddy,
(10:13):
you don't know what to believe. Again, the case against
jay Z was a civil suit. Did he was a
civil suit?
Speaker 2 (10:20):
But did he?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
You don't know what to believe because of all the
allegations he's facing, But we can't forget that Tony Busby
was also the person that represented at least twenty four
of the twenty seven women.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
That accused Deshaan Watson.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Of sexual misconduct along with other allegations, and at least
twenty three of those cases were settled, So.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
We have an obligation to mention that.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
So, on one hand, going on the offensive to defend himself,
I completely understand where Shannon Sharp is coming from. On
the other hand, when its legal team issued out the
press release.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
On x.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Yesterday and they spoke about they mentioned her name, and
they revealed some of those explicit text messages, that was
uncomfortable And I don't know if.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
That's a strategy that would work.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
One of the hardest things in the world for all
of us to do is to just lay low and
be quiet and let our legal team do it. And
we don't always know whether or not that's the right
thing to do. I know, and I can tell you
all that I spoke to Shannon, not in details, but
(11:59):
I spoke to him and he emphatically proclaims his innocence.
According to mister Busby, his client emphatically proclaims his guilt.
So where does that leave us. I'd love to tell
(12:20):
you that I know the answer to that question, but
I don't. I am the executive producer of First Take
on ESPN. I recruited Channing. I went and got him
and brought him to the ESPN. But I'm not the boss.
(12:42):
Those are other folks. There are layers to this, and
there are certain layers even I am not on. I
can tell you I also spoke co chairman of Disney,
the Boss, Jimmy Pittaro, who made it very very clear,
(13:04):
we are taking this matter very seriously, and we are
looking into this very very closely, and once we gather
as many facts as we possibly can, we will go
from there.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
And that is all he said.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
And I can mention his name because I received his
permission to say that. I don't know what that means.
In my perfect world, this equates to jay Z where
(13:47):
the cases ultimately dropped and Shannon is allowed to continue
on First Take and continue to thrive and shine, not
just that and have a little lustrious career in the
podcast stratosphere doing Nightcap with Chado Jo Sinko, doing Club
(14:07):
Shaysha and ultimately gets this one hundred million dollar deal
that he was all over the news about to sign
just a couple of days before this report came out.
In my perfect world, he moves on and somehow, some
way we find this all to be.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
False.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
But it doesn't seem like that's the way things are
about to go down. Considering who mister Busby is and
how emphatic his client is proclaiming that she is right
and she's telling the truth. I don't know where this
is going to go. I can't speak to anything else.
(15:00):
I don't know who Shannon Sharpe's legal team is and
what they're suggesting. I imagine that everything that has transpired
has been at the behst of his lawyers, not just himself.
I can tell you again that when I spoke to him,
(15:21):
he is emphatic in stating his innocence that this is
a shakedown.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
To use his.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Words, how wise it is is it to use those
kind of words when a civil matter of this nature
is out there, When you have a podcast and you
have advertisers and sponsors, and you work for ESPN and
they have advertised sponsors.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
What can we say, if any of us we're in
that position and we felt or were proclaiming we were innocent.
I don't know, and I'm not about to pretend. I
just wanted to make sure that I echoed to all
of you that the only reason I spoke on this
(16:11):
issue is because he works with me two days a week.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
He's on national television.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
He was on national television with me today, he was
on national television with me yesterday. When the story came
out Sunday night. I didn't know anything about it until
we got on the air, but he was on air,
and if you know him, in part because of all
the work that he's doing with me and what he's
doing in this industry. I know everybody's been waiting stephen A,
(16:38):
what you got to say about this. I got to
say what I just told you. I don't know what's happened.
I know I got love for the brother. I know
that I'm wishing that he's innocent and all of this
stuff goes away and he can continue to thrive with
me on ESPN and thrive in his own platforms that
he worked so diligently over the years to build. But
anything else would be in entirely irresponsible for me to
(17:03):
speak on and I can't do that. Yes, I own this,
this is my platform, but also have a day job
and also understand what lawyers, what HR and all of
those other things entail. What I said is all I
(17:24):
can say, and in all honesty, at this moment, it
is all I know. I have no idea what direction
ESPN and Walt Disney will go in when it comes
to this matter. All I do know is it won't
be me making a decision. It'll be others upstairs. In
(17:50):
the end, all of us have someone to answer to,
no matter how maverick we try to be, and we
own our own business and we're our sole propriety like
I am. On this platform and stuff like that. They
are advertised, there are sponsors, there are people you do
business with their partners, and.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
There are bosses.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
That's the situation, unfortunately that Shannon Sharp finds himself in
at this particular moment in time. I sincerely wish him
the best. I got love for him, and I hope
all of this is just a sad ordeal that goes away.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Because there was no truth to it.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
But I don't know, neither do you or the rest
of us, And the only time will tell what the
truth is
Today's a different day because of where I have to

on national television with me yesterday. When the story came
out Sunday night. I didn't know anything about it until
we got on the air, but he was on air,
and if you know him, in part because of all
the work that he's doing with me and what he's
doing in this industry. I know everybody's been waiting stephen A,
(16:38):
what you got to say about this. I got to
say what I just told you. I don't know what's happened.
I know I got love for the brother. I know
that I'm wishing that he's innocent and all of this
stuff goes away and he can continue to thrive with
me on ESPN and thrive in his own platforms that
he worked so diligently over the years to build. But
anything else would be in entirely irresponsible for me to
(17:03):
speak on and I can't do that. Yes, I own this,
this is my platform, but also have a day job
and also understand what lawyers, what HR and all of
those other things entail. What I said is all I
(17:24):
can say, and in all honesty, at this moment, it
is all I know. I have no idea what direction
ESPN and Walt Disney will go in when it comes
to this matter. All I do know is it won't
be me making a decision. It'll be others upstairs. In
(17:50):
the end, all of us have someone to answer to,
no matter how maverick we try to be, and we
own our own business and we're our sole propriety like
I am. On this platform and stuff like that. They
are advertised, there are sponsors, there are people you do
business with their partners, and.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
There are bosses.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
That's the situation, unfortunately that Shannon Sharp finds himself in
at this particular moment in time. I sincerely wish him
the best. I got love for him, and I hope
all of this is just a sad ordeal that goes away.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Because there was no truth to it.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
But I don't know, neither do you or the rest
of us, And the only time will tell what the
truth is
