Shannon Sharpe's recent Instagram Live mishap sparked widespread reactions, with one notable response coming from his friend and fellow NFL star Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson, who didn't shy away from showing . With a casual, "Ah, that's my dawg," Ochocinco highlighted the strength of their friendship despite the public fallout.
Sharpe, known for his confident on-screen persona, accidentally broadcast a private moment to his millions of Instagram followers, leading to a mix of fan reactions and personal embarrassment.
Sharpe expressed embarrassment
Rather than shy away, Sharpe openly addressed the incident on his "Club Shay Shay" Nightcap show alongside Ochocinco.
"Obviously, I'm embarrassed," he noted. "Someone that is extremely, extremely private, and to have one of your most intimate details, the audio heard for the entire world to hear, I'm embarrassed for a number of reasons.
"I came in, threw phone on the bed, engaged in an activity. 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.
"People count on Shannon. There are a lot of people that count on Shannon to be professional at all times, and I always try to be professional at all times."
Johnson stands by Sharpe
While clearly uncomfortable, Sharpe faced the situation directly, with Chad Johnson standing by him, reflecting the resilience of their friendship amid the chaos.
"Listen, this is an act we all do," he told Night Cap Live Stream. "It is unfortunate that as you said in your most intimate moment you accidentally, because you don't know how to work a phone or you pocket dialled or you hit a button you didn't mean to hit... you know it happens."
