Introduction
In this episode of The Flo Show, No Filter, host Flo delves into two high-profile and controversial topics: the ongoing legal troubles of ESPN star Shannon Sharpe and the recently uncovered connections between former President Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. Flo presents these issues with his characteristic candidness, aiming to uncover the truth behind the headlines.
Shannon Sharpe's Legal Troubles
Overview of the Case
Flo begins by discussing the legal challenges faced by Shannon Sharpe, highlighting allegations of sexual assault brought forward by Michelle Evans. "Shannon Sharp can't destroy that tape, and neither can the only fans model," Flo states at [26:45], emphasizing the gravity of the evidence involved.
The Lawsuit and Settlement
Sharpe is accused of sexual assault by Michelle Evans, a 20-year-old OnlyFans model. Initially, Sharpe dismissed the accusations as a "shakedown" and vowed to fight the lawsuit vigorously. However, contrary to his claims, Sharpe eventually settled the lawsuit, paying an estimated amount between $20 to $30 million. Flo notes at [35:10], "He thought that's all, but the tape is still out there, and it's getting worse."
The Role of the Sex Tape
A central piece of evidence in the case is a sex tape involving Sharpe and Evans. Flo reveals that the existence of the tape was first disclosed by Sharpe himself, who attempted to downplay its significance by suggesting only a short segment would be released. "He thought revealing the tape would work in his favor, but it backfired," Flo explains at [40:25]. The judge has now ordered that the tape be preserved for further legal actions, indicating the potential for additional charges against Sharpe.
Impact on Sharpe's Career and Reputation
The revelations have forced Sharpe to step away from his role at ESPN's "First Take." Flo remarks at [50:30], "Shannon Sharp cooked, y'all. This tape is Pandora's box. It is going to open and pave the way for anybody who has been in contact with Shannon Sharp."
Supporting Quotes:
- "He told us she was just getting out to ruin his career, but look what's happening now." – [34:15]
- "The tape is not just a piece of evidence; it's the key to uncovering the full extent of his actions." – [38:50]
Donald Trump's Epstein Connection
Wall Street Journal Revelations
Transitioning to the second major topic, Flo discusses a bombshell report from the Wall Street Journal that implicates Donald Trump in Jeffrey Epstein's activities. At [1:20:15], Flo states, "The Wall Street Journal dropped the article saying that not only has it been proven that Trump was in there, but that he knew about it."
Details of Trump's Involvement
According to the article, Justice Department officials informed Trump in May 2025 that his name appeared in Epstein's files. This revelation comes amid growing scrutiny of Trump's previous interactions with Epstein. Flo highlights the significance by saying at [1:21:30], "They told the president at the meeting that the files contained what officials felt was unverified hearsay about many people, including Trump."
Ghislaine Maxwell's Subpoena
Adding to the complexity, Ghislaine Maxwell has been subpoenaed to testify before the House Oversight Committee regarding her association with Epstein. Flo explains at [1:25:50], "Ghislaine Maxwell has been subpoenaed. We're going to get into that in a minute."
Political Ramifications
Flo expresses frustration over the politicization of the Epstein case, urging listeners to focus on the facts rather than partisan divides. "We don't care about Democrat or Republican, we care about our kids and our women," Flo emphasizes at [1:30:10].
Supporting Quotes:
- "Trump is the president right now. Why'd you keep talking about Obama and Biden and this and that?" – [1:29:45]

Flo provides updates on Ghislaine Maxwell's legal situation, noting that her attorney has indicated she is willing to testify truthfully. "Maxwell would decide whether to respond to the congressional subpoena following her meeting with the Department of Justice," Flo reports at [1:26:40].
Public and Community Reactions
The host acknowledges the community's concerns for Maxwell's safety and well-being. "Everybody sends Shay a lot of love, y'all. Don't worry once you become a part of this community, you got backing," Flo reassures his audience at [1:27:30].
Implications for the Epstein Case
Flo suggests that Maxwell's testimony could shed more light on the Epstein scandal, potentially implicating other high-profile individuals. "The move to subpoena Maxwell follows growing cause of the public to release the Epstein files," he explains at [1:28:15].

- "We have children and women that were harmed. We have a lot of people that were involved, but we only have one person being held accountable right now." – [1:29:50]
- "If you involved, we at your ass." – [1:31:05]

Throughout the episode, Flo interacts with his audience, addressing comments and reinforcing the show's commitment to uncovering the truth. While initially sharing a personal story about a car trouble he faced with his son, Flo ensures the focus remains on the serious topics at hand.
In his closing remarks, Flo emphasizes the importance of community support and vigilance in holding powerful individuals accountable. "We will continue to amplify victims' voices and talk about the hottest tea that's going around," he concludes at [1:50:00].
