‘It’s the Energy for Me’: Fans React After Chad Johnson Gives His Fiancée Sharelle Tips on Posing Perfectly for a Photo 

Chad Johnson has found ways in the past to ensure that his fiancée Sharelle Rosado looked her very best on social media. The list included doing her makeup on a budget and helping the reality star get her figure back following their birth first child.

Johnson’s March 22 post is no different. In the Instagram upload, the former Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver is seen instructing Rosado on how to get a perfect shot taken.

He told the luxury real estate broker, who wore a romper accessorized with a hot pink clutch, “I’m just taking a picture. Turn sideways. Let me take the picture sideways. Yes.” Things began to take a turn after Rosado became slightly annoyed by Johnson’s antics while stating, “Babe take the picture.”

Johnson then advised the “Selling Tampa” star to turn her clutch in the right direction so that the bag’s label would be seen on camera. The 44-year-old said as Rosado followed his commands, “You got to flip the purse and let the gold [show]. Yes. You have to hold it on top. Yes, that’s how you hold your clutch. Right in the middle. Ready? OK, I’m snapping. Now turn sideways.”

Johnson wrapped up the clip by praising Rosado. Alongside the video, Johnson expressed in the caption that he was teaching his fiancée the proper way to pose with a bag. He wrote, “Teaching my baby @sharellerosado_ clutch etiquette.”

As fans began to view his post, many raved over Johnson’s love for Rosado.

“It’s the energy for me!!”

“We love Ocho and the way he loves his Bae #blacklove.”

“I love how you love her…. beautiful.”

“WHEN A MAN LOVES HIS WOMAN!”

Among the “love” remarks, others claimed women worldwide need a man like Johnson in their lives. One wrote, “Every woman needs a man like this! He cares about the shot and the accessories! YESSSSS.”

Another said, “Every woman needs a man with a little bit of @ochocinco sprinkled in them, yes @sharellerosado_ you gotta winner.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
