Over a year after Shannon Sharpe left FS1's Undisputed, his former co-host Skip Bayless spoke on how he was blindsided by his partner's departure.

Pro Football Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe announced on Thursday he is stepping away from ESPN. Sharpe is facing a $50 million sexual assault lawsuit.

The specific timing of the incident was unknown. Sharpe was the co-host of Undisputed alongside Skip Bayless from 2016 to 2023. He began contributing to ESPN soon after leaving FS1.

The Hall of Fame tight end and popular podcaster says he's taking a break from ESPN duties to deal with sexual assault allegations.

After leaving “Undisputed,” Sharpe joined ESPN’s “First Take” alongside Stephen A. Smith. However, due to legal trouble on April 22, Sharpe may not return to his hosting duties.

Sharpe signed his contract with The Volume in August of 2023, just after leaving “Undisputed” on FS1, where he gained a lot of fans for his heated debates with Skip Bayless.
