Skip Bayless Issues Statement, Calls Accusations 'Malicious and False'

Bayless's Statement Comes After Video of Sharpe Engaged in Sexual Act Surfaced Online

Skip Bayless, co-host of the popular sports talk show "Undisputed," has denied any involvement in a viral video that appears to show his colleague, Shannon Sharpe, engaged in a sexual act.

The video, which surfaced online on Tuesday, has sparked widespread speculation about the identity of the man in the footage. Some social media users have suggested that it is Bayless, based on the man's physical appearance and voice.

In a statement released on Wednesday, Bayless vehemently denied these accusations, calling them "malicious and false." He also stated that he had never engaged in any inappropriate conduct with Sharpe or anyone else.

"I am deeply disturbed by these vile and baseless accusations," Bayless said. "I have never engaged in any sexual activity with Shannon Sharpe or anyone else. These allegations are nothing more than a desperate attempt to damage my reputation and my career."

Bayless's statement comes amid a growing chorus of voices calling for an investigation into the video. Many have questioned how the footage was obtained and whether it was consensually recorded.

Sharpe has not yet publicly commented on the video. However, sources close to him have said that he is "deeply embarrassed" by the situation and is considering legal action.

The NFL has also declined to comment on the video, stating that it is a "private matter" between Sharpe and Bayless.

The scandal surrounding the video has cast a shadow over "Undisputed," which is one of the most popular sports talk shows on television. It remains to be seen whether the show will be able to weather the storm and continue to be a ratings success.

In the meantime, Bayless has vowed to "fight back against these malicious accusations" and clear his name.
