Bill Bellamy Offers a Hilarious And Real Take On Shannon Sharpe's Latest Sex Scandal
Longtime actor Bill Bellamy is sharing his thoughts on Shannon Sharpe and his current legal mess. And what he said is probably the most hilarious response yet.
Speaking in a new interview with 'The Breakfast Club' on Wednesday, Bellamy—who was there to promote his new comedy tour 'Top Billin' Comedy Tour'—the 'Brothers' actor was asked for his two cents on Sharpe's latest drama. And if it's one thing we learned very quickly in his response—it's that you don't ask a comedian to give their opinion on a serious matter because they'll give you the most un-serious and hilarious reaction.
For context and as previously reported by The Root, Sharpe is currently being sued for $50 million in a shocking sexual assault lawsuit lobbed against him by OnlyFans model who claimed he physically abused her and even threatened to kill her. The Jane Doe, who Sharpe's lawyers later revealed was Gabriella Zuniga was reportedly 19-years-old at the time that they initially started dealing with each other. Sharpe is 56. He and his lawyers have denied any wrongdoing and alleged the two were engaged in a consensual relationship.
'First of all Shannon Sharpe did not see 'How to Be a Player' at all. So let's just get that—he must've missed the VHS and the DVD release. He 56-years-old, he should've seen this coming. What's that sound? Yo a*s. It's coming. Man, Shannon Sharpe should've known when that first tape leaked that we gotta slow down. Just a little bit,' he said.
Bellamy was of course referencing Sharpe's 'accidental' Instagram live session that happened in where he got exposed having sex on social media. That moment, just like the aforementioned, once again sent shockwaves on social media for all the wrong reasons.
'What is it, not even eight, nine months later? He back in them streets. Damn, you messing up the bag!' he said. He went on to say that Sharpe should've taken some time after the IG Live moment and taken some classes and pulled out of the spotlight for a minute to reset.
Bellamy also addressed the age gap between Sharpe and his accuser, noting that he himself has a 21-year-old daughter and if she were in that situation—he and Sharpe would be 'scrapping in the alleyway.' He went on to question why athletes, specifically football players, like strip clubs so much and are attracted to the fantasy.
'I don't know why Shannon Sharpe would have to get a girl from OnlyFans. That seem real thirsty. That's crazy, you couldn't get an only fan? You subscribing? You rich?' he joked.
He later questioned where Sharpe goes from here and how he fixes his image in the aftermath of this. He did, however, give him a possible idea joking that the former NFL star could come out with some BSDM merch to try to assuage the situation.

Jessie J vows to ‘beat breast cancer' in moving concert speech
Jessie J made a vow to 'beat breast cancer' during her final live show before undergoing treatment. The 'Price Tag' singer, 37, revealed earlier this month that she had been diagnosed with the disease, which is in its early stage, after a period spent 'in and out of tests'. In a post shared on Instagram, the pop star, whose real name is Jessica Cornish, told her fans she had been 'going back and forth' over the decision to talk about it publicly. 'I want to share it with my fans and the people that care about me,' she said, explaining that part of her reasoning for wanting to keep the news a secret was so that she could process it herself first. However, since announcing her diagnosis, the singer has been sharing updates with her followers – and last week revealed she had endured her 'worst day so far' since discovering the news. Jessie J has now vowed to beat the disease during an appearance at Capital's Summertime Ball, which took place at Wembley Arena on Sunday (15 June), where she told the crowd that she was about to undergo treatment. Midway through her set, the 'Bang Bang' singer said: 'Today – this show – is my last show before I go to beat breast cancer.' The 75,000-strong crowd erupted into cheers as she continued: 'It's so special to me, you have no idea. I feel so proud to be feeling OK – to be this honest person who can say what they feel.' Jessie J continued: 'I'm grateful for this life, for you guys, for my career, my son, my partner, my parents – my family, my band, my crew. 'We are so lucky. We have so much to live for, so much joy, so many things to do.' During her set at the concert, the singer performed songs including 'Do It Like a Dude', 'No Secrets' and 'Living My Best Life'. Jessie J previously stressed the importance of 'acknowledging fear, anger, sadness, panic' amid her diagnosis, stating: 'I have always advocated for being real. Honest in your feelings. We cannot heal what we don't acknowledge.' The star continued: 'I will cry. I will be scared. I will panic. I will feel all of it for a minute or even a full day. And then eat a [corn on the cob] or listen to a song that lifts me up. Or laugh with a friend… and then go and be Mum, and go to work and show up and be what I feel 90 per cent of the time: Strong, fearless, healthy – and make some jokes about it all because that's my way. 'But I will not ignore the 10 per cent that is fear and the sadness.'

Overall, these influencers' growing impact and reach have become a proof point that the creator economy is here to stay and is not slowing down anytime soon.

Jessica Alba hails Cash Warren as a 'rock' for their kids
Jessica Alba's children "couldn't have a better dad". The 44-year-old actress took to social media on Father's Day (15.06.25) to heap praise on Cash Warren, with whom she has daughters Honor, 17, and Haven, 13. Jessica - who announced her separation from Cash earlier this year - wrote on Instagram: "Happy Father's Day, @Cash_Warren "Our babies couldn't have a better dad — warm, kind, present, always knowing what to say. I admire your patience and the way you hold space for them, making them feel safe and light after every conversation. Thank you for being their rock. (sic)" Jessica announced her split from Cash, 46, via a social media post in January. The Hollywood star explained at the time that she was ready to "embark on a new chapter of growth and evolution". Jessica said in her statement: "I've been on a journey of self realization and transformation for years - both as an individual and in partnership with Cash. I'm proud of how we've grown as a couple and in our marriage over the last 20 years and it's now time for us to embark on a new chapter of growth and evolution as individuals. "We are moving forward with love and kindness and respect for each other and will forever be family. Our children remain our highest priority and we request privacy at this time. (sic)" By contrast, in May 2024, Jessica took to social media to celebrate her wedding anniversary, admitting that she felt "proud of us for making it this far". The brunette beauty - who filed for a divorce in February - observed that they'd survived "through thick and thin" as a couple. Jessica wrote on the photo-sharing platform at the time: "I'm proud of us for making it this far. There is no real set of rules or guidance that can ever prepare you for what it means to commit to another person and choose to be family. "Through thick and thin we have continually found our way back to each other and have chosen one another. Cheers to us, I love you."
