“I was once dating this chick Skip and she was married when she was getting a divorce. I knew I wanted her. I said, You know what? I’ll pay for the divorce, because I believed she was the one. That's what I did, I said, Why are you arguing about this? He wouldn't sign the paper. I say Why are you arguing about this little bit of money? I gave him the money, filed the divorce.. I did that!“

That's quite the story to tell on national television. It's unclear who that woman was and what her relationship is with Sharpe these days.
