Shannon Sharpe’s Response to the Shocking FS1 Lawsuit

Several Fox Sports personalities and at least one high-ranking executive were accused of sexual battery and creating a hostile work environment based on sex, color, and disability in a shocking lawsuit that was made public on Sunday. Although his name is listed in the complaint, Hall of Fame tight end Shannon Sharpe is adamant that he has not been charged with any crime.

In reference to the case, Sharpe stated on Sunday night’s Nightcap: “Ain’t got nothing to do with me,”  “Guys, the news of the day, absolutely, it doesn’t. What y’all want me to say?” “That ain’t got nothing to do with me. So there’s nothing to address,” “If you notice, everybody that’s posted it, they [mention] me. In the 42 pages, it don’t mention nothing about Shannon Sharpe doing anything. But y’all wanna get clicks, so y’all mention me.”

Additionally, co-host Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson said:  “That ain’t got nothing to do with us,”

What does the lawsuit claim about Shannon Sharpe?

Sharpe’s name appears, and accusations were made against his former FS1 co-host, Skip Bayless, even though he was not charged with any misconduct in the case, which Front Office Sports initially reported.

The lawsuit claims that Bayless gave a former Fox Sports hairstylist called Noushin Faraji “lingering hugs and kisses on the cheek while putting his body against hers and pressing against her breasts” and offered her $1.5 million to have sex with him, but she turned him down.

Regarding Sharpe’s involvement in the shocking lawsuit, his name is only brought up in relation to claims that Bayless became irate with Faraji because he thought she had been having an affair with Sharpe, a claim she refuted. Later, Bayless admitted to the hairstylist that he had only assumed she was having an affair with Sharpe because FS1 EVP of programming Charlie Dixon had informed him of this.
