Michelle Beadle responds to viral Shannon Sharpe IG live broadcast by clearing her name from rumors

Shannon Sharpe has gone viral today after his NSFW Instagram Live. Fans were shocked as the Pro Football Hall of Famer's Instagram account broadcast a video wherein a woman was heard repeatedly moaning and a man breathing heavily.

Although no faces were shown, the names 'Shannon and 'Michelle' were heard in the video. It didn't take long for others to start speculating about who the mystery woman in the video was.

Former ESPN analyst Michelle Beadle took to X (formerly Twitter) to clear up her name by saying she wasn't the woman in question.

"It was not me. 😀," she tweeted Wednesday evening.

Shannon Sharpe sent a message on Instagram to warn people about his account being hacked, adding that he was working with his team to 'figure that out.' Fans didn't buy that story and were quick to joke about that situation on social media.

Shannon Sharpe calls out ESPN analysts over Caitlin Clark ROY snub

While Michelle Beadle clarified that she wasn't the lady in the video, she wasn't the only female analyst linked with Shannon Sharpe in the last week.

On the Nightcap podcast posted last week, the three-time Super Bowl winner had some things to get off his chest against fellow ESPN analysts for snubbing Caitlin Clark for the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year award. (Start at 2:09)

"There's a lot of women that was on ESPN that had a lot to say earlier about it," They've gone quiet now... Y'all quiet now. Now I want somebody to send that to you because you know who I'm talking about.

"I ain't gonna call your name, but you know who you are. Y'all had a lot to say early. If you think I'm talking to you, I am. Make no mistake about it, I'm talking to you. You know who you are. One of you was a former coach."

While Sharpe did not mention the analysts by name, he is seemingly alluding to Monica McNutt and Carolyn Peck, who both picked Angel Reese over Caitlin Clark as their Rookie of the Year earlier in the season.
