Charleston White has offered a response to the $50 million lawsuit accusing Shannon Sharpe of sexual assault, saying that he believes the accuser. In a recent Instagram Live video, White declared himself "the last Unc standing" following the allegations.

"You done done something to a white girl," he said about Sharpe in the clip, as seen below. "I'm with the white folk, 'Hang him!' I'm with the motherfucking white folk, 'Hang that n***a.' And I believe her! I don't think she lying. I don't think these white people sent this white girl to get you, I think you like raw meat. You like your steak medium-rare, I like mine well-done, black like the cook."

He added, "I used to like white girls, 'til I realized I ain't freaky enough for 'em."

Earlier this year, White appeared on The Danza Project for an interview and was asked if he would ever go on Sharpe's popular interview series Club Shay Shay. While answering, White indicated he had beef with Sharpe.

"I'm not owed nothing from them n***as," he said. "They're in the boy's club... He's not known for doing nothing. He's known for talking about people that's putting in work." He described Sharpe as a "Black sellout."

A woman who had a relationship with Sharpe filed a lawsuit against him earlier this month, with attorney Tony Buzbee representing her. The woman described their time together as a "rocky consensual relationship" that later allegedly turned sexually violent. She accused him of sexually assaulting her on multiple occasions, including as recently as January 2025.

Sharpe has denied the allegations and has temporarily stepped aside from his duties at ESPN.
