Speaker 1: Get fortune Yo to the great enjoy the album. I

Speaker 1: No album Oh my birth beat at your throw attend

Speaker 3: W y'all, it's getting real messy out here. Shannon Sharp's
former stylist just came through with the mother of all shades,
hinting that whatever's going on with Shannon isn't exactly new. Allegedly,
Shannon's antics have been bubbling under the surface for a
while now, before blowing up a couple of weeks ago. Now,
if you thought that things couldn't spiral any further after
that essay lawsuit, buckle up, because this latest twist might
take it a whole new level. While the essay case
has already been making major headlines, the ex stylist just
hopped online with some cryptic posts and suspicious receipts that
could seriously hurt Shannon's carefully crafted public persona. And here's
where it really starts to heat up. According to him,
Shannon allegedly tried to silence him before the truth could
come out. Well, he's refusing to be silenced, and the
tea he's spilling now is insanely hot, so let's get
right into it. So the man at the center of
all this is Russell Hollywood Simpson. When he first linked
up with Shannon as his stylists, people couldn't help but
notice how close they were. They weren't just working together.
These two were popping up at every event side by side,
like they were joined at the hip. Naturally, that got
people talking. Some people even started speculating that Shannon might
have been hinting at being part of the LGBT community.
The talk only got louder once folks remember that Russell
had previously dated x NFL player Carrie Rhodes. That little
detail definitely had a fuel to the fire and had
everyone wondering what was really going on. With the two
constantly being spotted together. It didn't take long for people
online to start putting two and two together to talk
about Shannon's He started picking up steam, and from the
looks of it, he wasn't too happy about it. Things
only got messier from there. Rumors about Shannon being on
the down low and living a double life have been
scrolling for years, and this situation just gave folks more
reason to revisit all that old gossip. Once the rumors
started picking up steam, having someone like Russell around just
made things even messier for Shannon. Eventually, he decided it
was time for a change and let Russell go. But
instead of keeping it loking, Shannon made it awkward. He
acted like Russell barely had a hand in styling him,
which caught a lot of people off guard. Then he
brought back his old stylist, Shelley Davis and started praising
her as the one who had been behind his fashion
since the whole time. It didn't take much for folks
to see what was happening. Shannon was clearly trying to
distance himself from the drama and shift the spotlight in
a way that quieted the rumors.
Speaker 4: My style is Hollywood. He was gay. Okay, that's his life,
That's not mine. Hollywood and I Hollywood no longer styles me.
Why because I'm Lord of Shelley. She was hurt that,
after twenty plus years of being my stylist, that I
had gone outside to hire someone else and someone else
was getting the credit when she was there at CBS,
she was there when I started at Fox, she was
there when I was going out and doing red Carbon events,
and I never had a problem. And for me, in
my head, I thought I needed someone outside. Right, I
didn't buy one thing new when Hollywood started styling me everything,
all those LB jackets, all that stuff that I already
had it, and a lot of the stuff she had
already put together, but I took it apart. So when
he put it back together, it was just what she
had put together. And I told him, I said, Hollywood,
I said, bro, I think you did an unbelievable job.
I said, but I'm gonna go back to Shell.
Speaker 3: Naturally, Russell wasn't pleased about how things went down. Shannon
probably thought firing him would stop the rumors, but that
move blew up in his face instead. Of staying quiet,
Russell seemed ready to set the record straight. He didn't
go all in right away, but started posting subtle hints
like video clips that showed he was the one responsible
for Shannon's outfits. Then, Russell posted a video on Instagram
with a caption that read, lets be clear, hinting that
he was about to spill the tea.
Speaker 1: Right here be killing the game.
Speaker 4: I'll be watching the game by yard.
Speaker 3: It kind of sounded like he was trying to spill
the tea, and this reignited all the rumors about Shannon
being on the d L. But then Shannon pulled one
of the weirdest things ever when he went live right
in the middle of getting down and heavy. If you
catch my drift, the sound was anything but discreet. It
was unmistakably mature, and there was no denying what was
going down. Shannon and the mystery woman ca have their
faces off camera and the stream was gone as fast
as it started. But it was too late because the
video immediately went viral. Shannon tried to do some damage control,
saying beware, my Instagram was hacked this morning. My team
and I are working vigorously to figure this out. But
nobody really bought this, because come on, we weren't born
last night. After a while, Shannon finally admitted what had happened.
On his Nightcap podcast, he revealed the truth behind the
Instagram live mishap. According to him, it was all just
a big accident. He said, he tossed his phone onto
the bed without realizing the live stream has started, just
as things were about to get pretty personal. What was
meant to stay private ended up going viral instead.
Speaker 4: Obviously, I'm embarrassed someone that is extremely, extremely private, and
to have one of your most intimate details the audio
heard for the entire world to hear. I'm embarrassed for
a lumber of reasons. People count on Shannon SHAYSHA Media Club, SHA, Shape, Nightcap, ESPN.
There are a lot of peace with that. Coultn Shannon
to be professionally at all times, and I always try
to be professional at all times, even when I'm behind
closed doors, I still try to remain a level of
professional although I'm home and I'm very disappointed in myself,
not for the act. I think there are millions and
billions of people of consenting age that engage in activities,
but but to have your most intimate detail on the
audio to be heard. I'm disappointed in myself. I let
a lot of people down. My kids. I reached out
to them. I called them, I called my sister, my friends.
Obviously my friends reached out.
Speaker 3: However, he shut down the rumors that he had planned
the whole thing. Shannon made it very clear that going
live wasn't some stunt or deliberate move. It was just
an honest mistake and nothing more.
Speaker 4: For God, this was not staged. Came in, I threw
my phone on the bed, gauzed it in activity. I
did not know ig lib. I've never been on IG live.
I've never turned ig live on any who.
Speaker 3: Back to Russell, he recently started to share mysterious posts
on Instagram, leaving people to wonder if Shannon's explanation was
as straightforward as he claimed, and one ig story, he wrote,
I love my private life. You may see a little bit,
but you won't see much. I'll tell you that. And
the hardest thing I ever had to do is shut
the f up. It didn't take long for Russell to
finally come out and spill the real tea, and he
did not hold anything back. He wrote, accidentally gone live
when you have to open the app, swipe right, then
swipe left twice and hit the button is absolutely insanely impossible.
It's like he desperately wanted people to know the truth
but was holding himself back. He also left fans on
their toes with this post so much I want to say,
but nah, and the caption I'll wait till the right time.
He also said I know how Shannon operates, and I
wouldn't put it past him to plan something like this.
To give you an idea of how while this whole
situation is, remember that Russell is the same guy who
exposed NFL star Kerry Rhoades for allegedly being in the closet.
Speaker 5: It all started when someone had leaked some pieces of
he and I out and he said to the tabloid
that he was not gay. Now, my thing is this,
If you don't want people to know your business, then
you just don't speak on it. Now, you're not going
to make me look like a damn food. I don't
care who you are, I don't care how big of
a store you are. You're not about to make it AnyWho.
Speaker 3: Even after they went their separate ways, Shannon apparently kept
tabs on Russell word he might spill some secrets. When
the public smirk attempts didn't work, Shannon reportedly changed tactics.
There's talk that Bravo had offered Russell a role on
a reality show, but Shannon allegedly made sure that opportunity
never came through. According to Media Takeout, Hollywood's team is
telling Tasha Kay that Shannon is doing everything he can
to try and block Hollywood from appearing on a reality
TV show, and with Shannon's Ladies lawsuit, Russell is definitely
not holding back. In a new Instagram post, he suggested
that he had been the one to help keep Shannon's
drama out of the press while they were working together,
almost like he was the one cleaning up Shannon's mess
behind the scene. He wrote, See when I was around,
you never heard a single word. I had everything so organized.
Oh this is a mess with no end in sight.
But hold on because Russell's revelations have just opened up
a new layer of drama and it's getting crazy. Russell's
former bodyguard has come forward with some serious claims. He
says Shannon was allegedly spotted at Ditty's infamous parties and
even met his current partner there. The bodyguard, Saka Zomba,
says he has intail that allegedly put Shannon at one
of Diddy's legendary parties, but that's not all. He then
suggested Shannon was evolved in some questionable activities at these events,
including allegedly being with a girl who was pretty young
at the time. Soaka tweeted FNDA that Ninja Shannon met
his three or four at a Didty party when she
was seventeen. Watchcat back and you'll understand. This is an
insane situation, and fans had a lot to say about this.
They left comments dragging both Shannon, the bodyguard and the stylist,
saying stuff like you had what organized, brother, This is
not a flex. If he ends up going to jail,
you are going in a cell next to him, dummy.
So basically he's also a creep for helping coverish up
and went from the ditty tapes to what's really going
on at club? Shayshed child, These things are not looking
good for Shannon at the moment, But I want to
know how you guys feel about this mess, so drop
your thoughts in the comments and my wounds
