Initially, Sharpe claimed that he was hacked when it all went down but later admitted that it was him on the other end of the live stream. He blamed it on not being ‘tech savvy’.

“It was me being a healthy, active male,” the ‘Club Shay Shay’ host said in a recent episode of ‘Nightcap,’ a podcast he co-hosts with Chad Johnson, confirming it was him partaking in the act.

He also mentioned that he was “disappointed” in himself because he is a very private person and how this was very embarrassing for him.

“I’m embarrassed for a number of reasons… I’m very disappointed in myself, not for the act but to have your most intimate detail heard,” he added. “I threw my phone on the bed.”

“I’ve never been on IG Live. I’ve never turned (it) on. So I don’t know how it works. And so all of a sudden, my other phone is going off, and people are calling me that I’ve never talked to a day in my life on FaceTime, and I’m like, ‘why are y’all calling me?”
