- 2:13Speaker 2: time and their opinions, and so that'll be the only
- 2:15Speaker 2: topic that we cover. But before we get to all
- 2:18Speaker 2: of that madness, how y'all feeling, how's everybody's days? How
- 2:21Speaker 2: are you for real? Like when we ask that this
- 2:24Speaker 2: is you know, the behind the scenes of the grind
- 2:26Speaker 2: check it.
- 2:30Speaker 3: That's a deep question. I don't know if I can

- 2:36Speaker 3: for a minute, me and Wonder Impact, and we've been
- 2:39Speaker 3: on this track for a long time. That said that said,
- 2:43Speaker 3: I ran six miles yesterday. I'm training for a half
- 2:46Speaker 3: marathon in the fall, so I'm really getting my endurance
- 2:52Speaker 3: up for life as well as running. So I'm good.
- 2:56Speaker 2: Is it true that y'all really use the bathroom on
- 2:59Speaker 2: y'rselves at the end of the maria You ever heard that?
- 3:01Speaker 3: No, I actually ran a full marathon and I had
- 3:04Speaker 3: to do the use the bathroom in the middle of
- 3:07Speaker 3: the marathon, and that is no fun.
- 3:10Speaker 2: You'll use the bathroom on yourselves when you're running.
- 3:11Speaker 3: No no, no, no, no no, not your boy, no,
- 3:15Speaker 3: not me.

- 4:00Speaker 2: stuck and it's up. Well, it is really nice in
- 4:03Speaker 2: New York today. It is like eighty degrees outside. So

- 4:09Speaker 2: to have guests today for this topic, especially male guests,
- 4:14Speaker 2: because I think a lot of times I'm in here talking,
- 4:16Speaker 2: Patrick never interrupts me, he never, He just let me go.
- 4:20Speaker 2: I'll be Robbling. Yes, but I think on a topic
- 4:23Speaker 2: like this where we're talking about Shannon Sharp and you know,
- 4:25Speaker 2: everything that's surrounding him right now with the sexual assault
- 4:28Speaker 2: and rape allegations, I'm excited to have a male perspective
- 4:32Speaker 2: or male perspectives on the show. So let's get on
- 4:36Speaker 2: into the latest. You know your girl love to take
- 4:39Speaker 2: y'all a court, A lot to take y'all a court.
- 4:43Speaker 2: Now the latest with Shannon Sharp. There is a ton
- 4:45Speaker 2: of things. As I was preparing to be on my
- 4:48Speaker 2: way here to the studio, Shannon Sharp actually spoke out
- 4:53Speaker 2: on everything that is happening again. He released a written
- 4:56Speaker 2: statement a day or so ago, but he released a
- 4:59Speaker 2: video today. Before we get to the video, I want
- 5:03Speaker 2: to play an audio that was released by TMZ literally,
- 5:07Speaker 2: I would say maybe fifteen minutes before Shannon Sharp posted
- 5:11Speaker 2: his video statement. Let's take a listen to this audio
- 5:13Speaker 2: that TMZ released of Shannon Shark.
- 5:15Speaker 4: I don't know anything.
- 5:16Speaker 2: I say, You're just gonna like get mad at and
- 5:18Speaker 2: you're just gonna hang up on me.
- 5:20Speaker 4: So I feel like I'm.
- 5:22Speaker 5: Not letting up on you. Here's what it is?
- 5:25Speaker 1: What?
- 5:25Speaker 3: Who?
- 5:25Speaker 2: What does that even mean?
- 5:27Speaker 1: Nothing?
- 5:28Speaker 3: Yet?
- 5:31Speaker 2: You want to be a dick to me now, so
- 5:33Speaker 2: I don't want to be don't manipulate me.
- 5:36Speaker 4: I don't know that mercy.
- 5:38Speaker 5: If you said that one one more time, I'll will
- 5:40Speaker 5: fucking chump.
- 5:40Speaker 1: This shit out of you when I see it. I
- 5:44Speaker 1: don't want to be true.
- 5:47Speaker 5: Yes you do.
- 5:48Speaker 2: At the end of that audio, he says, I don't
- 5:50Speaker 2: think you have a choice in the matter. Now, that
- 5:53Speaker 2: audio was released for some background context this morning when
- 5:57Speaker 2: I was reporting the story on Breakfast Club. If you
- 5:59Speaker 2: guys have went and listened to those clips, you will
- 6:02Speaker 2: remember this. If not, I'm gonna briefly just talk about
- 6:04Speaker 2: what we talked about here because it adds context to
- 6:07Speaker 2: why this audio was released. So last night I reached
- 6:12Speaker 2: out to Tony Busby, who is the attorney for the
- 6:16Speaker 2: alleged victim, and I said to him, Hey, there is
- 6:19Speaker 2: this statement now from Shanna Sharp. In the statement, he
- 6:23Speaker 2: directly names the woman. The woman when she filed the
- 6:26Speaker 2: lawsuit was listed as a Jaine Doe. We talked about
- 6:28Speaker 2: on that on yesterday's episode. Right, So normally when you're
- 6:30Speaker 2: listened as a Jaine Doe, it's done for multiple reasons,
- 6:32Speaker 2: of course, to protect your identity. Normally a high profile
- 6:35Speaker 2: cases like this, it's because the woman is saying, Hey,
- 6:38Speaker 2: I don't want people to know who I am, because
- 6:40Speaker 2: I don't want retaliation. It will get publicized, like I
- 6:43Speaker 2: don't want to be a focal point of the media
- 6:46Speaker 2: or of conversation. I just want to file my claim
- 6:48Speaker 2: and go about my business. You do have people that
- 6:51Speaker 2: feel like if a person is suing someone for something
- 6:54Speaker 2: as serious as sexual assault, rape, whatever the case may be,
- 6:56Speaker 2: a Jane Doe should not be allowed a lot of
- 6:58Speaker 2: times in these cases, like we've seen it in Puff's case.
- 7:01Speaker 2: In other cases, the person that the accusations are being
- 7:05Speaker 2: thrown on will go to court and say, yo, Judge,
- 7:07Speaker 2: this person's identity need to be revealed. The judge will
- 7:10Speaker 2: determine that right. But a judge determines that when Shannon
- 7:13Speaker 2: Sharp released his statement in response to all of the allegations,
- 7:16Speaker 2: just the overall lawsuit being filed Monday, he revealed this
- 7:20Speaker 2: woman's name in that statement. When I saw that, I said, oh,
- 7:24Speaker 2: her attorneys. He kind of just like played into their
- 7:27Speaker 2: hand a little bit. And I don't know why and
- 7:30Speaker 2: what the thinking was behind that, but that is in
- 7:33Speaker 2: my opinion, if I was an attorney for a Shannon Sharp,
- 7:36Speaker 2: a high profile x NFL Hall of Famer at the
- 7:40Speaker 2: height of his career. I would not put a woman's
- 7:42Speaker 2: name out there. I would allow a judge to make
- 7:44Speaker 2: that decision, but it was done. So once that was done,
- 7:47Speaker 2: I reached out and I said, hey, Attorney bus we
- 7:49Speaker 2: have a couple questions. Number one, the time of this
- 7:51Speaker 2: is odd. You can't ignore that. People feel like the
- 7:54Speaker 2: one hundred million dollar podcast deal conversation happened and boom,
- 7:56Speaker 2: here comes to sexual assault. What's up with that? He
- 7:59Speaker 2: said to me. We had been negotiating, not negotiating. We
- 8:02Speaker 2: had been in conversation with Shannon Sharp's legal team since February.
- 8:06Speaker 2: There was a many mediation conversation that had happened. Tony
- 8:11Speaker 2: Busby says that Shannon Sharp threw money their way, that
- 8:15Speaker 2: the woman in question did not accept the offer, and
- 8:19Speaker 2: she moved forward with found the lawsuit. I also asked, now,
- 8:23Speaker 2: I will say Shannon Sharp's attorney center that is not true,
- 8:25Speaker 2: that it didn't go that way. I also asked him,
- 8:29Speaker 2: you know, what was their response to now her identity
- 8:32Speaker 2: being out there because they originally found as Shane do
- 8:34Speaker 2: you could tell that Tony Buzzby was not happy with
- 8:36Speaker 2: that whatsoever. There was also a video that Shannon Sharp
- 8:40Speaker 2: talked about in his statement where he said, hey, there's
- 8:43Speaker 2: this video. The video may come out. The video is
- 8:46Speaker 2: going to be edited. According to what he's saying, he's
- 8:50Speaker 2: a legend that the video is edited in a way
- 8:51Speaker 2: to make whatever sexual act they were involved in looked
- 8:54Speaker 2: non consensual when it was consensual. He admits that there
- 8:58Speaker 2: are things that they would do while having sex with
- 9:00Speaker 2: each other that were asked from this woman, but it
- 9:03Speaker 2: was all consensual. But these are things I'm assuming it's
- 9:05Speaker 2: maybe like role play, stuff like that that can be
- 9:08Speaker 2: if taken out of context, it'll look crazy. So he
- 9:11Speaker 2: kind of was given like a full warning. And he
- 9:12Speaker 2: says that that video was presented to him in this conversation.
- 9:15Speaker 2: It's meeting that his attorneys had and it was used
- 9:19Speaker 2: as blackmail. These are his words. It was used as blackmail,
- 9:23Speaker 2: and he was like, we're not gonna stand for this.
- 9:24Speaker 2: Right fast forward to today. This morning, I was able
- 9:31Speaker 2: to speak to Shannon Sharp's attorney. Shannon Sharp's attorney then
- 9:34Speaker 2: let me know a few things. He said that number one, yes,
- 9:39Speaker 2: Shannon Sharp's prior attorneys did see this video, but they
- 9:43Speaker 2: do not believe they saw the video in full. Shannon
- 9:45Speaker 2: Sharp did not see the video, but the attorneys, from
- 9:47Speaker 2: what this new attorney is saying to me, they asked
- 9:50Speaker 2: for the full video to be able to take it.
- 9:53Speaker 2: They wanted to take it to an expert to make
- 9:54Speaker 2: sure that it was full and in full context, and
- 9:56Speaker 2: they were told, no, you cannot receive this full video.
- 9:59Speaker 2: That is what they're like, s had Tony Buzby said
- 10:01Speaker 2: to them. They're also saying that that whole mediation, sit
- 10:06Speaker 2: down conversation that happened because Tony Busby approached them to
- 10:10Speaker 2: do so and they asked for a certain amount of money.
- 10:13Speaker 2: He told me that it was a thousands of thousands,
- 10:16Speaker 2: that it was millions of dollars, and that at the
- 10:20Speaker 2: time Shannon Sharp said, no, like, we're not doing this.
- 10:23Speaker 2: This is a shakedown. I'm not going lean into this.
- 10:27Speaker 2: We'll handle this up in another way. But Shannon Sharp's team,
- 10:31Speaker 2: they're standing on, you know, their statement that they're released
- 10:34Speaker 2: saying that he is innocent. They also said that they
- 10:36Speaker 2: put out you know, they put out these text messages
- 10:37Speaker 2: because they wanted to show there was a consensual sexual
- 10:40Speaker 2: relationship between Shannon Sharp and this girl, and that was it,
- 10:44Speaker 2: and that everything that is being put out, they're alleging
- 10:46Speaker 2: everything that Tony Buzby is putting out is being misconstrued
- 10:50Speaker 2: purposely and misleading, and it's misleading purposely. Now fast forward
- 10:55Speaker 2: to today, Buzby said to me in an email, I'm
- 10:59Speaker 2: not trying this case in the press. We released this
- 11:01Speaker 2: only because Sharp's lawyer chose to attempt to discredit and
- 11:04Speaker 2: docs Jane Doe by releasing multiple texts with no contexts.
- 11:08Speaker 2: Did they release the entirety of the text surrounding the
- 11:10Speaker 2: ones from yesterday? Question mark, The audio is very clear
- 11:13Speaker 2: of the situation and speaks for itself, period. And that
- 11:17Speaker 2: is all he said to me, so obviously, And I
- 11:20Speaker 2: could tell by Buzzby's tone when I reached out for
- 11:22Speaker 2: a response to Shannon Sharp's statement, which included those sex messages,
- 11:25Speaker 2: that they were pissed off. He has said to me
- 11:27Speaker 2: that there was some sort of agreement where they all
- 11:29Speaker 2: agreed that certain things would not be released. That's why
- 11:32Speaker 2: they didn't even mention this particular video that Shannon Sharp
- 11:34Speaker 2: is now addressing in their filing. They do talk about
- 11:38Speaker 2: this woman feeling like or saying that she allegedly was
- 11:41Speaker 2: recorded and it was against her will. But that was it.
- 11:45Speaker 2: They didn't mention anything else. Now, there is a video
- 11:49Speaker 2: that Shannon Sharp also just posted to his Instagram, and
- 11:53Speaker 2: he is speaking not to the audio, although this was
- 11:56Speaker 2: released after the audio. He's speaking to a video that
- 12:00Speaker 2: he's saying will probably be released next. Let's take a
- 12:03Speaker 2: listen and friends, supportingly.
- 12:05Speaker 5: Colleagues. I want to speak to you directly and from
- 12:08Speaker 5: the heart. This is a shakedown. I'm gonna be open,
- 12:12Speaker 5: transparent and defend myself because this isn't right. This is
- 12:15Speaker 5: all being orchestrated by Tony Buffley, who is targeted jay Z.
- 12:20Speaker 5: Tony Buzzy targets black Man, and I believe he's going
- 12:22Speaker 5: to release a thirty second clip of a sex tape
- 12:25Speaker 5: that tries to make me look guilty and played into
- 12:27Speaker 5: every stereotype you could possibly imagine.
- 12:31Speaker 2: He does not address the audio in that video.
- 12:33Speaker 4: Now.
- 12:33Speaker 2: I don't know if that's because this video was recorded
- 12:37Speaker 2: before the audio dropped. I also reached out to Shannon
- 12:40Speaker 2: Sharp's attorney, who I've been talking to all morning trying
- 12:42Speaker 2: to get a direct quote in response to that audio,
- 12:45Speaker 2: and I did not get anything back, but then this
- 12:47Speaker 2: video was posted. Shannon Sharp mentions his career in this video,
- 12:52Speaker 2: question to the room, what do y'all think is about
- 12:54Speaker 2: to happen? Career wise?
- 12:56Speaker 4: It's gonna be a tough fight because the way that
- 12:59Speaker 4: audio sounds. I mean, although choking is something that takes
- 13:03Speaker 4: place in certain settings, you know, some people like it,
- 13:07Speaker 4: but the way it sounds, it doesn't sound good. It
- 13:10Speaker 4: almost sounds like a punishment. It doesn't sound like it's
- 13:13Speaker 4: part of what they do when they're you know, pleasure
- 13:16Speaker 4: in each other. It sounds more like a punishment. So
- 13:21Speaker 4: I don't know how he's gonna fight that. I don't
- 13:22Speaker 4: know what the rest of the audio sounds like, but
- 13:25Speaker 4: the way it's looking now doesn't sound good, especially considering
- 13:29Speaker 4: the age difference. I think that's the biggest issue is
- 13:33Speaker 4: that he's so much older than her, right, so it
- 13:36Speaker 4: just makes it look like she's powerless. Yeah, and she
- 13:39Speaker 4: sounds powerless, so.
- 13:41Speaker 3: There's definitely a power dynamic. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. I mean
- 13:45Speaker 3: I think it sounds bad as well, but I do
- 13:49Speaker 3: I do feel that it's manipulative to only release that
- 13:55Speaker 3: short of a clip. Clearly they are driving.
- 14:01Speaker 2: This the perception right now, the narrative, Yeah, the.
- 14:03Speaker 3: Narrative exactly, And so I think it's still up in
- 14:08Speaker 3: the air. I mean, Tony Buzby is you know, a
- 14:12Speaker 3: nefarious name, an afarious name right now at this point.
- 14:17Speaker 3: It was fouled in Nevada, and so I think there's
- 14:20Speaker 3: a lot of context that we're kind of glossing over
- 14:25Speaker 3: right now. So, but on a personal, more personal level,
- 14:30Speaker 3: I think that Shannon Sharp has to smarten up. I
- 14:34Speaker 3: think he has to use more discernment. If you're into
- 14:38Speaker 3: that type of thing, there are certainly professionals that can
- 14:42Speaker 3: help you get off if you will, and handle your
- 14:45Speaker 3: personal business in a way that's far more discreet. And
- 14:49Speaker 3: I think that he has to move and shake in
- 14:52Speaker 3: this world like someone that knows what they're doing. He's
- 14:55Speaker 3: old enough, he's a big old age. What fifty six.
- 14:58Speaker 2: Now, yeah, he's fifty six.
- 15:00Speaker 3: Yeah. I think that he has to move much more,
- 15:02Speaker 3: much different. And then what you mentioned, you know, the
- 15:06Speaker 3: timing of it all. Obviously, sure they've been talking and
- 15:10Speaker 3: he's been paid, so that that doesn't it doesn't like
- 15:14Speaker 3: somehow not line up now because this new deal came through,
- 15:18Speaker 3: he's been had money.
- 15:19Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. I just for me, I'm just a
- 15:22Speaker 2: little confused because I feel like whenever I see situations
- 15:26Speaker 2: like this, it's just why do you get that much
- 15:29Speaker 2: trust to somebody?
- 15:30Speaker 3: Right?
- 15:30Speaker 2: Like facts, but granted background info, and I think people
- 15:34Speaker 2: are you said, there's a lot of being glossed over.
- 15:37Speaker 2: I think the aged situation and how that power dynamic
- 15:40Speaker 2: is gonna play into how it's gonna make him look
- 15:43Speaker 2: which I'll tell y'all. They open this lawsuit saying like
- 15:46Speaker 2: he is a powerful man, he is a wealthy man.
- 15:49Speaker 2: He is fifty years old, I'm sorry, thirty years older
- 15:52Speaker 2: than this woman. At minimum, they know exactly what they're
- 15:56Speaker 2: playing into, right, But there was a two year relationship.
- 16:00Speaker 2: It was it seems like it was very rocky, explosive
- 16:03Speaker 2: or whatever according to the woman. According to Shannon Sharp,
- 16:06Speaker 2: it was consensual. But even in that time, I just think,
- 16:10Speaker 2: even if I'm trusting you a bit, like the fact
- 16:12Speaker 2: that he said showed a full video because I don't
- 16:14Speaker 2: have it, Oh no, If that video is something that's
- 16:16Speaker 2: consensual and it's whatever we both got that, I need
- 16:19Speaker 2: to be able to come out swinging just in case,
- 16:21Speaker 2: Like I think we air dropped me that I need
- 16:26Speaker 2: to air drop me that before you fall asleep. Come on,
- 16:29Speaker 2: send that on over. Like, it's just certain things that
- 16:32Speaker 2: I think, in certain precautions I think he should have taken.
- 16:34Speaker 2: I do know in this doc, Tony Buzby, like when
- 16:37Speaker 2: they filed it said that he had asked this girl
- 16:40Speaker 2: on two separate occasions to sign the NBA, but he
- 16:43Speaker 2: kind of just like let it go. The first time
- 16:45Speaker 2: was in the beginning, and it was another time like
- 16:46Speaker 2: during the course of their relationship, and he just like
- 16:49Speaker 2: went with it. So what do you call a gabby
- 16:51Speaker 2: from OnlyFans? She she had a little hold on uncutetsha right.
- 16:57Speaker 2: Look to answer the question, I think his career is
- 17:00Speaker 2: on the line. Unfortunately. I feel like, first take Disney
- 17:04Speaker 2: to let people go for less. So I think his
- 17:06Speaker 2: one hundred million dollars deal, depending on how this shapes up,
- 17:09Speaker 2: is definitely on the line. The one hundred million dollars
- 17:12Speaker 2: is a separate situation that was a podcast situation he's
- 17:15Speaker 2: trying to do for club station. He ain't negotiating a
- 17:18Speaker 2: dang thing at this point, like and won't be able
- 17:20Speaker 2: to do that for a while until all of this
- 17:23Speaker 2: clears and even if even if he had, like at
- 17:26Speaker 2: this point right now, if he decides to settle and
- 17:28Speaker 2: just all right, let's just you know what I mean,
- 17:30Speaker 2: it's out there now, so now you still gotta speak
- 17:32Speaker 2: to it. You still got to explain it. That's on
- 17:33Speaker 2: the podcast side, that he's gonna have to figure something
- 17:35Speaker 2: out over there independently, something unless Brands decided to sit
- 17:39Speaker 2: by him, and I don't. I'm a little confused public
- 17:41Speaker 2: opinion wise, because it's like, I think people are naturally
- 17:45Speaker 2: swaying with the it's Attorney Busby who just went through
- 17:47Speaker 2: all of this muddy water with jay Z and that
- 17:50Speaker 2: puffy case and you know, things getting dismissed or whatever.
- 17:53Speaker 2: But then you hear this audio, and the audio it's
- 17:55Speaker 2: not the full audio, so we all like, well, wait,
- 17:57Speaker 2: we're the fool. But what you hear it's like, is
- 18:00Speaker 2: this role play? But then she's talking about she being manipulated.
- 18:03Speaker 2: It's like, what is happening right now? And that's just
- 18:06Speaker 2: the podcast stuff, right, and the feelings there, But then
- 18:08Speaker 2: you have the network stuff. I don't know. I would
- 18:12Speaker 2: not be surprised if we see a statement in the
- 18:14Speaker 2: next twenty four hours from ESPN Disney saying, Hey, we're
- 18:18Speaker 2: just gonna suspend such and such until we figure out
- 18:20Speaker 2: what's happening.
- 18:21Speaker 3: Can we go back to the Stewart Scott days of
- 18:25Speaker 3: commentators like where I don't want to see a sex
- 18:29Speaker 3: tape from Shannon Sharp. I don't want to even know
- 18:32Speaker 3: it exists.
- 18:33Speaker 2: Just feel like ever since that Instagram live and he
- 18:36Speaker 2: just been talking so crazy, you talking about the young girls,
- 18:39Speaker 2: and the point that he's at his career and at
- 18:42Speaker 2: his age, it's just certain things I don't want to
- 18:44Speaker 2: hear from him. To me, I look at him as like,
- 18:46Speaker 2: you've been doing this for so long, and you have
- 18:48Speaker 2: so much bank and so much bread. It's like you're
- 18:50Speaker 2: a coveted you know what I mean, Like you're coveted
- 18:51Speaker 2: in sports. You're supposed to be a coveted voice. Even
- 18:54Speaker 2: the interviews he has started to do. I think that's
- 18:55Speaker 2: why they were getting such to pushback that they were,
- 18:57Speaker 2: because it's like, Yo, what are you doing? You not
- 18:59Speaker 2: third before you're fifty something years old talking to these
- 19:02Speaker 2: young artists. The conversation should have more substance and more
- 19:05Speaker 2: death to it.
- 19:06Speaker 3: No, I totally agree, And I've studied Shanning for a
- 19:09Speaker 3: long time. I know his one time producer, I don't
- 19:12Speaker 3: know if it's still his producer, A younger, younger guy too,
- 19:17Speaker 3: And I appreciated how they were moving because they were
- 19:21Speaker 3: shaking things up, they were disrupting. But in this day
- 19:25Speaker 3: and age, I think that you have to take both
- 19:28Speaker 3: sides of that coin, how that looks on both sides.
- 19:31Speaker 3: Some of these things they all flow into the same bucket.
- 19:34Speaker 3: You don't get one hundred million dollar deal because you
- 19:36Speaker 3: just reported the facts. A lot of it comes with
- 19:39Speaker 3: the controversy, a lot of it comes with the extras,
- 19:43Speaker 3: you know, and ultimately those people are oftentimes rewarded for
- 19:49Speaker 3: bringing the drama and the attention in this cluster we
- 19:53Speaker 3: call media. Now.
- 19:54Speaker 2: Yeah, it's some things you've got to find out. I
- 19:56Speaker 2: guess about it. If this tape does lead. The only
- 19:58Speaker 2: thing with that though, is I don't see them leaking
- 20:01Speaker 2: the tape or giving the tape because their client Isn't
- 20:04Speaker 2: it like this young woman is in the tape engaging
- 20:07Speaker 2: in these activities as well. Well, well, I was going
- 20:13Speaker 2: to say, so, it's it's two folds. So it's if
- 20:16Speaker 2: the tape is what Channon Sharp originally is saying that
- 20:19Speaker 2: it is which is a consensual sexual act where they
- 20:22Speaker 2: you know, do different things at the you know, request
- 20:24Speaker 2: of the of this woman she's in the in the video,
- 20:26Speaker 2: and no woman wants to have to put what she's
- 20:29Speaker 2: doing in her bedroom on a tmz dot com or
- 20:31Speaker 2: you know, a breakfast club or wherever. Right, But if
- 20:34Speaker 2: it's not consensual and what they have does show physical
- 20:37Speaker 2: violence or you know, alleged rape or whatever, I don't
- 20:40Speaker 2: think that a victim of something wants it to be
- 20:42Speaker 2: plastered around. As the point that I'm trying to make,
- 20:44Speaker 2: But I have a question for you.
- 20:46Speaker 3: What about the police? What about filing a police report?
- 20:49Speaker 3: The statue of limitations hasn't expired on this.
- 20:51Speaker 2: Case, right, right, true?
- 20:53Speaker 3: So why wouldn't they file charges before filing.
- 20:59Speaker 2: Off I can't answer that. I have no no answer
- 21:03Speaker 2: to that. I don't know. It's an unfortunate situation to
- 21:05Speaker 2: see anybody in. But you were saying this earlier. It
- 21:09Speaker 2: just happened so fast. It's like one day, one hundred
- 21:12Speaker 2: million dollar podcast negotiation, conversation and reports. The next day
- 21:16Speaker 2: we're talking about is this, you know man an alleged
- 21:19Speaker 2: rapist or not? Which is a heavy allegation to have
- 21:22Speaker 2: on your lady. This is typically a part where you know,
- 21:26Speaker 2: as we're closing the show, we always like to we
- 21:28Speaker 2: have a really big community here on the Latest with
- 21:31Speaker 2: long En Roads of the podcast, and our community is
- 21:33Speaker 2: called the low Riders because they be riding hard for me.
- 21:35Speaker 2: They be going in riding hard for me. But we
- 21:38Speaker 2: take it outside to the streets a lot to take
- 21:41Speaker 2: y'all outside to the streets in the tweets, which is
- 21:44Speaker 2: where we just get online and see what are people
- 21:46Speaker 2: talking about and how are they talking about this? We outside,
- 21:50Speaker 2: we outside, we outside outside. So I tweeted a bunch
- 21:56Speaker 2: of different exclusive conversations that I've had with you know,
- 21:59Speaker 2: both attorneys on Busby, the attorney for the accuser, and
- 22:03Speaker 2: Shannon Sharp's legal council as well. And here are just
- 22:05Speaker 2: a few tweets that happened in response to the information
- 22:09Speaker 2: I tweeted out. So John Thomas twenty four said, there's
- 22:13Speaker 2: nothing illegal about him being a freaky a niga that's
- 22:17Speaker 2: how he spelt it. But that's besides the point. Busby
- 22:21Speaker 2: is a known liar and seems to always be behind
- 22:24Speaker 2: these cases. After an athlete or entertainer gets a big payday,
- 22:28Speaker 2: another low Rider said her name is Tree Threat. She
- 22:31Speaker 2: said believe all women or whatever. But publicizing all this
- 22:35Speaker 2: now feels like the volume wants to keep him and
- 22:37Speaker 2: scare away other media outlets. So Tree Threat is saying that, Okay,
- 22:43Speaker 2: so you're supposed to believe all women. But at this point,
- 22:46Speaker 2: because all of this is being publicized, she's saying that
- 22:48Speaker 2: it feels like kind of like an attack between the
- 22:51Speaker 2: media company that Shannon Sharp was at, trying to keep
- 22:54Speaker 2: him a scare away other media companies because he was
- 22:56Speaker 2: supposed to be doing this other deal. Then she says,
- 22:59Speaker 2: on the other hand, why would anyone field offers if
- 23:01Speaker 2: they know he's been in the mediation regarding in assault
- 23:04Speaker 2: since February. Somebody's lying. I doubt that he shared that
- 23:08Speaker 2: he had been in this mediation or this conversation since February.
- 23:11Speaker 2: Now the last tweet. Kay N McCorkle says, I agree.
- 23:16Speaker 2: Timing of this is horrible for Shannon, whether he's guilty
- 23:19Speaker 2: or not, he should have tried to settle this one.
- 23:21Speaker 2: I get why he didn't want to do it, though,
- 23:23Speaker 2: but based on the recording, things can get back quick
- 23:26Speaker 2: in terms of public opinion. It's a sad situation for sure.
- 23:30Speaker 2: I kind of said this earlier. I feel like maybe
- 23:33Speaker 2: he should have just settled out and just let it
- 23:35Speaker 2: all go away and had these NDAs and things that
- 23:38Speaker 2: people agreed to and just went on about his business.
- 23:40Speaker 2: You know what I mean. I want to hold it
- 23:41Speaker 2: out for Shannon Sharp that you know, we gotta wait
- 23:43Speaker 2: until this goals further. He is innocent to proven guilty,
- 23:48Speaker 2: but there are all these claims out there, so we
- 23:49Speaker 2: got to consider both sides of it. Okay, Okay, Lauren,
- 23:53Speaker 2: what are we taking away from this episode? From this episode,
- 23:57Speaker 2: I'm taking away that, you know, in all my consensual relations,
- 24:00Speaker 2: airdrop meet that video. I need to have my own
- 24:03Speaker 2: proof air Drop meet that video right now, and I
- 24:05Speaker 2: ain't deleting no threads. Don't play with me. What y'all
- 24:09Speaker 2: taking away from this episode?
- 24:11Speaker 3: Don't record at all.
- 24:13Speaker 2: Because you're not an air Drop not Airdrop. Don't play
- 24:16Speaker 2: with me. So you're basically saying you be recorded.
- 24:20Speaker 3: That's what you're saying.
- 24:21Speaker 2: What I'm saying is is that when you're intimate with somebody,
- 24:23Speaker 2: you years in with somebody. If you choose to do that, cool,
- 24:26Speaker 2: But I just need to know that I always got
- 24:28Speaker 2: my own back. I honestly though, feel like for me
- 24:31Speaker 2: as a woman, I'm not doing all that with somebody
- 24:33Speaker 2: I even have to think would even do things like this.
- 24:36Speaker 2: But it's a scary time. You just never know what
- 24:39Speaker 2: about you wonder.
- 24:40Speaker 4: I mean, I was gonna say the NDAs. I mean,
- 24:42Speaker 4: I know they don't really hold as much weight, but
- 24:45Speaker 4: it shows some type of consent, you know what I'm saying,
- 24:49Speaker 4: Whereas something like this is just he has nothing to
- 24:54Speaker 4: defend himself to say that, well, this is something that
- 24:57Speaker 4: we've both been doing and we know that this is
- 25:00Speaker 4: what we're gonna do, and this is our relationship, right,
- 25:03Speaker 4: you know so, and I mean you can't be the
- 25:07Speaker 4: age difference, you know that that is what kind of
- 25:11Speaker 4: makes it really look bad. If she was in her
- 25:13Speaker 4: thirties or something, maybe even in her twenties, but teens.
- 25:18Speaker 2: Well, she was nineteen and he was dealing with her
- 25:21Speaker 2: early twenties. So yeah, I mean, I'm not saying that's good.
- 25:24Speaker 2: I'm just saying you talking about twenties she was. She
- 25:26Speaker 2: eventually turned twenty, but to be nineteen to take her
- 25:30Speaker 2: out for her first legal drink is crazy.
- 25:32Speaker 4: Right, And then it's just like, you know, you kind
- 25:34Speaker 4: of like, what do you expect? Almost you know what
- 25:36Speaker 4: I mean?
- 25:37Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Well, thank you guys for joining me today.
