Bill Bellamy Offers a Hilarious And Real Take On Shannon Sharpe's Latest Sex Scandal
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.

Jay Cutler denies Kristin Cavallari didn't receive money in divorce: 'Borderline slander'
Money talks, and so does Jay Cutler. The former NFL player and ex-husband of TV personality Kristin Cavallari opened up about the couple's divorce settlement after Cavallari got candid on her post-split finances on her reality show, "Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour." Cutler and Cavallari were married from 2013-2020 and share three children. During the June 18 episode of "Honestly Cavallari," the "Laguna Beach" alum, 38, reportedly debunked speculation that Cutler funded her beauty and apparel brand Uncommon James. "People love to say that everything I have in my life is because of my ex-husband," she said, per People magazine and NBC News affiliate KRNV. "I have never gotten a penny from my ex-husband," Cavallari added. "I didn't get any money from our divorce, so let's just clear that up." Cutler, 42, pushed back against his ex-wife's comments on the Aug. 15 episode of his podcast, "Take it Outside with Jay Cutler and Sam Mackey", joking: "Yeah, she didn't get a penny. She got a lot, a lot, a lot of (dollar) bills." "It's irresponsible. I think it's reckless," Cutler continued. "It's borderline slander to insinuate that there was zero dollars split during the marriage that each side got." USA TODAY has reached out to Cavallari's representative for comment. In April 2020, Cavallari announced her split from Cutler in an Instagram post, writing, "With great sadness, after 10 years together we have come to a loving conclusion to get a divorce." According to People magazine and the former couple later reached a child custody agreement, which allowed Cavallari to use "marital funds" to purchase a home for herself. Kristin Cavallari interview: 'Laguna Beach' alum is open to talking about anything, except her ex-husband. How much money did Kristin Cavallari receive from Jay Cutler divorce? While Cutler didn't go into details about how much money was allotted to Cavallari in their divorce settlement, the Chicago Bears alum said, "I can guarantee you it's definitely not zero dollars." "You can go and see how much I made in the NFL. It's online," said Cutler, who reportedly earned $122.2 million across 12 seasons. "If we would have went to the judge and been like, 'Hey, he's going to keep every single dollar over the past seven years, and you're going to get nothing,' ... they would have been like, 'No, this isn't right. This isn't legal. Not happening.' " Kristin Cavallari talks Jay Cutler: TV personality says she was 'skin and bones' during 'unhappy' marriage When asked by cohost Sam Mackey if the settlement money is enough to live "comfortably" on, Cutler replied, "without a doubt." "It's insanity. It's completely false, completely untrue. It just is. I've got a divorce decree," Cutler said. "(I) hate that I even have to address it, honestly, but it gets to a point where it's just untrue." Contributing: Jay Stahl, USA TODAY

Singer Tamar Braxton says she 'almost died' in weekend accident
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Singer, actor and reality TV star Tamar Braxton said Tuesday that she 'almost died' in a weekend accident that she doesn't remember. 'I was found in a pool of blood from my friend with a face injury,' Braxton wrote in an Instagram post. 'I fractured my nose, lost some teeth and mobility.' She added, 'I don't even know what happened to me.' Braxton, 48, earlier in the day had posted 'Thank you God for waking me up today,' in an Instagram story. She said she was getting calls after and was struggling to talk so she shared what had happened to her. The post also said 'the way I look at life now is totally different. As my health is on the mend my mental journey begins… pray for me for real.' An email to Braxton's manager seeking more details was not immediately answered. Braxton was part of a singing group with her sisters, including Toni Braxton, who went on to a major solo career. They and other family members appeared on the reality series 'Braxton Family Values' starting in 2011, and Tamar Braxton has since appeared in spin-offs and other reality shows. As an actor, her recent credits include the TV series 'Kingdom Business.' And she has spent much of the year on a solo singing tour.

Actor son of murder-suicide victim issues stepdad funeral plea
An actor whose mother was the victim of a murder-suicide in France has urged her friends not to attend his stepdad's funeral. Callum Kerr, who appeared in Hollyoaks and Netflix's Virgin River, said it would be "inappropriate" for the memory of his mother, Dawn Searle, to be associated with her husband Andrew Searle. The couple's bodies were discovered by a neighbour at their country home in the Aveyron region on 6 February. The prosecutor in charge of the case previously told the BBC it was murder followed by suicide and there was no evidence that another person was involved. The statement, issued on Kerr's Instagram account on behalf of the actor and his sister Amanda, comes more than six months after the couple were found dead. It is unclear why it has taken so long for Mr Searle's body to be released by the French authorities or when his funeral is scheduled to take place. Deaths of British couple in France treated as murder-suicide Actor's grief after mum and husband die in France French prosecutors confirm how British couple died Mr Kerr, who is also a country singer in the US, and his sister said that while the investigation into the deaths was ongoing they "cannot ignore the circumstances as they stand". The statement continued: "For this reason, we must respectfully but firmly request that our mother not be included in any way in the funeral arrangements being made for Andrew." They urged friends of their mother's not to attend the ceremony and asked people not to share photographs of Mr and Mrs Searle together. The statement concluded: "It would be inappropriate for her memory to be associated with a service honouring the man who, based on all available evidence, may have been responsible for her death. "We ask for understanding, privacy and respect as we continue to grieve and seek justice for our mum." Mrs Searle's body was found in the garden of the couple's property in the hamlet of Les Pesquiès, with severe wounds to her head. Mr Searle's body was found inside their home, about an hour north of Toulouse. Police were alerted to the incident by a neighbour who had gone to check on them when they failed to turn up for a planned dog walk. Post-mortem examinations confirmed Mrs Searle suffered "multiple blows to the head with a blunt and sharp-edged object" while Mr Searle died from hanging. Mrs Searle, 56, grew up in Eyemouth in the Scottish Borders, and Mr Searle, 62, was originally from England. They previously lived in Musselburgh, near Edinburgh, and married in France in 2023. Prosecutors said they had lived in the Aveyron region for five years. According to his LinkedIn page, Mr Searle previously worked in financial crime prevention at companies including Standard Life and Barclays Bank.
