Shannon Sharpe - There Is NO Excuse (We Need to Talk)

Shannon Sharpe is being sued for $50 million—but instead of outrage, too many are rushing to defend him. In this video, we break down the lawsuit and take a hard look at the disturbing trend of normalizing harmful behavior, especially in Black communities where survivors are often told to stay silent “for the culture.”

As a Black woman, I’m speaking from experience—not judgment. We have to talk about how too many Black men—and even some Black women—deflect, excuse, or outright villainize survivors when the accused is rich, famous, or “respected.”

This video covers:
• The $50 million lawsuit against Shannon Sharpe
• How the media and fans twist narratives
• The cultural pressure to protect Black male celebrities
• Why defending “the brand” over the victim isn’t the answer
• Why this cycle keeps repeating—and who it’s costing
