Comedian Luenell has some thoughts about Shannon Sharpe getting fired from ESPN. On a social segment from Dish Nation, called Side Dish, the comedian revealed that she thinks it’s “goodie goodie” that he got let go, following him settling a sexual assault lawsuit. “Was that little slut worth all of that money?” she asked. “Shannon Sharpe suffers from the same thing that Dennis Rodman suffers from. I’m ugly, but I made it anyway.”
Luenell, who previously shot her shot at him on Instagram by asking if he wanted to have sex on a private plane, began ridiculing how Sharpe dresses. “You have to admire his body because he wears his clothes so obviously tight,” she joked. “He’s a little sus if you ask me.”
To explain her sudden change of heart about him, Luenell broke down why she’s not in his favor anymore. “Shannon Sharpe, we tried to get on your show,” she told the camera. “When you was popular, you didn’t want me. Back then, he didn’t want me, now he’s losing, and he’s all up on me, wants me to do the show. I’m not doing it, Shannon.”
ESPN cut ties with Sharpe less than two weeks after he settled his sexual assault lawsuit with an accuser, identified anonymously as Jane Doe, who originally sought $50 million in damages for emotional and psychological harm.”
At the time of the settlement, the Doe’s attorney, Tony Buzbee, confirmed that “after protracted and respectful negotiations, we have reached a mutually agreed-upon resolution. All matters have now been addressed satisfactorily, and the matter is closed. The lawsuit will thus be dismissed with prejudice.”
The dollar amount of the settlement hasn’t been revealed, but Sharpe joked on an episode of his Nightcap podcast that he’s currently a little “light” in the pockets — seemingly because of it.
Earlier this year, when speaking about the allegations, Sharpe claimed that the lawsuit was “a blatant set-up” and a “shakedown.”
