Video: Stephen A. Smith Trashes People Betraying Shannon Sharpe After $50 Million Rape Lawsuit

Let’s talk about the drama that went down with Stephen A. Smith throwing shade at people betraying Shannon Sharpe after he got hit with a $50 million assault lawsuit by Gabriella Zuniga. The drama is real!

So, Shannon Sharpe is minding his own business, living his best life, and then boom – this major sexual assault lawsuit comes out of nowhere. And instead of rallying behind him, some people are out here turning their backs on him. But not Stephen A. Smith! He’s out there defending him, calling out the fakes and haters.

Smith also claims Shannon has been a target ever since his interview with Katt Williams broke the internet.

Shannon Sharpe was already very accomplished before this, but it took him to new heights. This career milestone is what his now-colleague over at ESPN, Stephen A Smith, believes has brought out the haters tenfold. He related this theory to the ex-NFL tight end’s $50 million rape lawsuit that’s hanging over his head for over a week now.

In a recent interview with Big Boy, the face of ESPN and First Take star presented this belief and spoke on the “zest with which people are willing to pounce on [Shannon Sharpe].” “People have been after him since he did Katt Williams,” Smith began. “They’ve been at his neck because of the numbers he produced and the success that it had and how he was able to ride that wave.”

Overall, he’s got a real problem with the “glee and joy” that people are having in watching Shannon struggle like this. Because of this, Smith wants his friend and everyone else out there to know that “he matters to me, and I want him to be okay.”

Stephen A’s answer and commentary on the matter seems to reflect what Big Boy thinks is going on with the lawsuit. The latter believes something fishy is going on, especially with Tony Buzbee repping the defendant, Gabriella Zuniga. He and Smith cited his controversial court battle with Diddy and Jay-Z over similar allegations and how that ultimately failed.

Honestly, it’s just another day in the wild world of sports drama. But hey, at least we know who’s got Shannon’s back when the going gets tough. Keep doing you, Stephen!
