Keke Palmer’s Lighthearted Exchange with Shannon Sharpe Over Instagram Mishap

During a recent appearance on Shannon Sharpe‘s show, Keke Palmer broached a subject that had previously caused embarrassment for the former NFL player and ESPN personality. The light-hearted exchange took place on Sharpe’s platform, where Palmer brought up an incident involving Sharpe’s accidental Instagram Live video.

The incident in question occurred in September, featuring Sharpe unintentionally streaming a private moment with a woman, reportedly named Michelle. Upon Palmer’s mention of this name during their conversation, Sharpe could not suppress his amusement.

«You like ‘em older, huh?» Sharpe commented, prompting laughter from both him and Palmer. Palmer then playfully added, «That’s what Michelle said,» causing Sharpe to feign dramatics by falling over in his seat. «Come on, Keke!» he exclaimed in response, adding, «That’s too soon! You’ve been waiting for that! It’s too soon, Keke, oh my goodness!»

The interaction elicited off-screen laughter from the production crew. Palmer, known for her humor, remarked, «They don’t call you hunky uncy for nothing,» furthering the light-hearted banter.

Palmer also touched upon her own experiences, recalling feeling uncomfortable as a young actress, particularly during a kissing scene with an older actor. This led to an honest discussion between Palmer and Sharpe about navigating awkward industry moments.

Reflecting on the September mishap, Sharpe has previously spoken about his embarrassment during an episode of his «Nightcap» podcast with Chad «Ochocinco» Johnson. He expressed discomfort over the privacy invasion when a personal moment was inadvertently exposed to the public. «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 number of reasons,» Sharpe stated.

Despite the incident, Sharpe has maintained a sense of humor, evidenced by merchandise on his website that references the viral episode.
