Domonique Foxworth brutally trolled Shannon Sharpe on ESPN on Tuesday, criticizing the former NFL star’s accidental sex tape on Instagram.
Last Wednesday, after his usual appearance on ESPN’s “First Take,” Sharpe took to Instagram to reveal himself in the middle of having sex with someone, though only the audio from the video was clearly audible.
Once Instagram Live started, Sharpe’s phone went dead and the image was no longer clear.
Sharpe admitted he wasn’t hacked and the video wasn’t a prank. The sports commentator said he accidentally pressed the buttons to go live without being technologically savvy.
Five days after the incident, Sharpe returned to ESPN’s airwaves on Monday and 24 hours later was ridiculed on the air by Foxworth.

Foxworth, a former NFL cornerback, responded on social media shortly after his joke
When Sharpe was talking about Bryce Young being benched by the Carolina Panthers, he told Stephen A. Smith, “If you give me three months, Stephen A., and my hips hold up, I might play two or three games as a tight end for him,” Sharpe said on First Take.
Foxworth, a former NFL cornerback, immediately responded, “I think your hips are fine.”
The former Broncos, Ravens and Falcons player then responded to his jokes on social media: “I mean… I had to, right?”
Sharpe has not yet addressed the controversy directly on air.
Following the controversy, Sharpe’s brand EIGHTYFOUR briefly sold merchandise to capitalize on the accident, namely a shirt that read “69 Michelle.”
The former NFL tight end told all last Wednesday night on his special “Nightcap” show with co-host Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson.
Sharpe also admitted that he did not stop the live stream. Someone from his team did.
Sharpe accidentally went live on Instagram last week while he was in the middle of an intimate moment
“I’m embarrassed for a number of reasons. People rely on Shannon to be professional, even when I’m behind closed doors,” Sharpe said
“I’m very disappointed in myself, not in the act. There are millions and billions of people of consenting age who participate in activities.”
Sharpe said he cried after his Instagram Live broadcast.
Oddly enough, the second ad for the special edition of ‘Nightcap’ launch was an endorsement by Sharpe for Ro Sparks, a pill he described as “a long-term treatment in a new sublingual form that gets into your bloodstream faster, so you can be more spontaneous.”
Sharpe said he will leave his phone in the car for any future intimate moments.
