what specifically caused this backlash Shannon spoke with Cam Newton in a recent interview addressing the drama that has been plaguing him ever since cat Williams's interview went viral earlier this year he also discussed why celebs feel at ease enough to divulge all of their secrets on his show Shannon explained that prior to each interview he lets his famous guests know that they are under no obligation to talk about a certain subject which helps them feel comfortable enough to share their own stories Shannon addressed the criticism from those who say he is not a real journalist in a recent interview clarifying that he has never considered himself a journalist for those who may not be familiar with him he mentioned that he believes it is possible to share a story without including anything negative but he also thinks that anyone who has been in the business for a long time such as 101 520 or 30 years likely has multiple intriguing stories while he knows if someone chooses to avoid such Tales he does not feel it is his place to prevent them from sharing Shannon is a highly successful former NFL player who was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2011 after his playing career he worked for a number of years as a sports commentator in 2020 during the pandemic Shannon started his podcast Club Shay although the show had a respectable following at first its popularity skyrocketed after the cat William interview which has gotten over 70 million views and is currently the most popular episode enough this conversation almost didn't take place before things finally came together Shannon disclosed that he had been attempting to get cat on the podcast for almost a year he then happened to run into Cat's new manager who put him in touch with cat and a week later cat appeared on Club she Shay sharing a number of business Secrets while Shannon was reveling in club Shay's success he noticed that some people in the industry were unhappy and were trying to undermine his show Cat Williams was fully aware Ware that his Revelations would have a major impact on the industry a point he emphasized during the interview the full story revolves around a few celebrities who are upset with Shannon's achievements and charge him and Club shet of starting a controversy in hullwood because of the Cat Williams interview 30,000 new stories are written in Hollywood every year and not one of them calls for a black Country Bumpkin who can't talk well and look like Mister saw Potato Head you have to have range next up is Cedric the Entertainer Williams called him a walrus and accused him of taking jokes Williams remembered a particular instance pointing out that it doesn't match what I did on TV in 2018 Williams called Smiley a liar for asserting that he was meant to play money the talk then shifted to Diddy whom Williams accused of trying to get him into compromising situations Mike a part that Williams actually played in Friday After Next elaborated on why Ricky Smiley kept showing up at all my auditions Steve would tell anyone that they have a click over there they know exactly what's happening William said to preserve my honor and that pure soul I mentioned you have to tell Diddy no because he enjoys partying he continued if I look at it I get it that's how Diddy feels implying that Diddy takes ownership over people in certain situations Williams then shifted his attention to Kevin Hart saying that Hart might be an industry Insider who is doubting his quick Ascent to start him in Hollywood Williams said that no one in his 15 years in Hollywood could remember ever seeing a soldout Kevin Hart show he went on have we heard of a comedian who came to Los Angeles Angeles in sensation in his first year in Los Angeles Kevin Hart achieved remarkable success very quickly after getting his own sitcom on a major Network and starring in the movie Soul Plane another topic of conversation was Jonathan's recent fall Williams hinted at Major challenges implying that they might be a part of a bigger conspiracy maybe I'm a conspiracy believer but I think that when they raise you to a certain point there's an Unwritten contract that says they can knock you down at any time Williams noticed that he went on to say that everyone must be lovely if this ugly guy is considered handsome Williams also revealed a dramatic accusation against against ludicrous asserting that ludicrous was a part of an Illuminati style decision-making process he claimed that there was a time when we were both invited to an Illuminati Gathering and that choices had to be made by one of us or the other in his answer ludicrous addressed the accusations and defended his reputation saying that he had never been Illuminati and that I had only left with BS when coming from any party therefore it appears that there is a concerted attempt to discredit Sharp because of his candid opinions and the divisive topics he discusses in his interviews a few months back sharpen comedian EPS got into an argument over eps's comments regarding Sharp's sexual orientation when the comedian's footage of sharp performing at a comedy show appeared on social media in February the comedian suggested that sharp is gay and said that he turned down the former NFL Stars offer to be on his Club sh podcast since hosting two viral interviews where Cat Williams and Monique shared their candidatures about the business Sharps Club sheet podcast has gained notoriety for its unvarnished honesty some comedians have criticized sharp making jokes about his perceived outdatedness but sharp says that he is is currently very popular and is moving beyond gay jokes recently Griffin made a joke about sharp show renaming it Club gay during a comedy set sharp fans however feel that Sharp's success has caused a great deal of Envy among his purported peers and more comic who appears to be certain that sharp is gay is on the 5,150 show in March Cory Hulk gave a frantic 5-minute piece on a number of well-known black media people playing on the idea that sharp was stuck in a gay trick as suggested by one of the hosts it appears that Hulk isn't the first person to say that sharp is secretly Queer as Hol previously chastised sharp for hosting Club Shay Antonio Brown referred to Shannon sharp as a rainbow and at once more caused controversy by criticizing sharp on social media screaming fit after a widely shared Tik Tok video starring sharp promoting his leaport Shack Brown claimed sharp of hiding his true sexual orientation even though sharp had stated that he was using the brand to honor his grandmother Brown's irrational comments overshadowed the occasion and raised concerns about his intentions total when I visited Brown at my last stop of the day he said we got up early and had a late night we don't do excuses here we just get the job done because this is what we signed up for this incident adds to Brown's history of controversy which also includes personal attacks on former teammate Tom Brady and claims of steroid use against NFL Elites like Julian Edelman and JJ Watt in any case Shannon Sharp's work and personal life have been greatly impacted by the allegations against him he revealed that being called Gay has had a profound effect on him and that questions about a straight man's sexuality have an impact He also mentioned that social media is so powerful that someone made it to the White House in 2016 by repeatedly repeatedly things leading people to think that being labeled as secret gay as some have claimed about Diddy can be extremely damaging in today's society although there is nothing wrong with being gay the idea that someone is pretending to be straight can seriously damage one's image Diddy situation serves as an example of how these charges can be used as a weapon to do real harm All Things Considered Shannon sharp has been under a lot of scrutiny particularly in the wake of the
