Shannon Sharpe reportedly offended Jess Hilarious with his past comments
During the same Club Shay Shay podcast, Shannon Sharpe had a conversation with media personality, comedian, and actress Jess Hilarious. He then took the time to apologize to Jess about his past comment, saying:

Shannon Sharpe also made it clear that his remarks were unacceptable. He further said he didn't mean to make the comedian uncomfortable. In the episode, Sharpe further said:
