Domonique Foxworth brutally trolled Shannon Sharpe on ESPN on Tuesday, aiming a dig at the former NFL star’s accidental Instagram sex video.
Last Wednesday, after his usual stint as part of ESPN’s ‘First Take’ Sharpe went live on Instagram with him appearing to be in the middle of sex with someone, although only the audio of the video was clear.
Once the Instagram Live was started, the phone fell away from Sharpe and no clear picture could be seen.
Sharpe came clean that he was not hacked nor was the video a prank. The sports commentator said he accidentally pushed the buttons to go live without being technologically sound.
Five days after the incident, Sharpe returned to ESPN’s airwaves on Monday and 24 hours later was mocked by Foxworth on air.

Foxworth, a former NFL cornerback, took to social media to comment on his joke shortly after
Talking about Bryce Young being benched by the Carolina Panthers, Sharpe told Stephen A. Smith: ‘If you give me three months, Stephen A., and my hips hold up, I might play two or three games at tight end for him,’ Sharpe said on First Take.’
Foxworth, a former NFL cornerback, immediately replied: ‘I think your hips are fine’.
The former Broncos, Ravens and Falcons player then took to social media to comment on his joking, saying: ‘I mean…I had to, right?’
Sharpe is yet to address the controversy directly on air.
For a brief moment after the controversy, Sharpe’s ‘EIGHTYFOUR’ brand was selling merchandise trying to cash in on the mishap, namely a shirt with the phrase ’69 Michelle’ on it.
The former NFL tight end did break down everything on his special ‘Nightcap’ show last Wednesday evening with co-host Chad ‘Ochocinco’ Johnson.
Sharpe also admitted he did not stop the live stream. Someone from his team did.

‘I’m embarrassed for a number of reasons. People count on Shannon to be professional, even when I’m behind closed doors,’ Sharpe said
‘I’m very disappointed in myself, not for the act. There are millions and billions of people of consenting age who participate in activities.’
Sharpe said the aftermath of his Instagram Live made him cry.
Oddly enough, the second advertisement before the beginning of the special edition of ‘Nightcap’ was Sharpe’s endorsement of Ro Sparks, a pill that says it is a ‘a long-lasting treatment in a new sublingual form to reach your bloodstream faster so you can be more spontaneous’.
Sharpe said for every time he has intimate moments in the future, he will leave his phone in the car.
