There are a lot of people that count on him at all times.
And Im very disappointed in myself, he said, then clarified, Not for the act.
Sharpe then stated that the video was not staged, and was entirely accidental.
“I did not know IG live.
Ive never been on IG live.
Ive never turned IG live on, so I dont know how it works.
After catching up with the situation, Sharpe decided it was best to come clean.
My phone wasnt hacked.
It wasnt a prank.
It was me being a healthy, active male, he said.

I keep these on me, he quipped, holding up several packs of condoms.
As for whether history would ever repeat itself, Sharpe said he would be taking precautions in the future.
Ill tell you what, he said.
From now on, my phone will be in the car.
