Internet celebrity Brittany Renner is the recent guest on Shannon Sharpe’s “Club Shay Shay” podcast and they had an interesting conversation, where Renner revealed her body count. Is this the future of Sharpe’s podcast? Why does any of this matter?

“My dating pool is…impressive,” said Renner.

“Expansive?” Sharpe interjected.

“I’ve had sex with 35 guys,” she replied.

“Oh, lord!” replied Sharpe as he took swigs of his premium liquor, Shay cognac by LePortier.

It’s All About Going Viral

It is very clear that the goal was for this video clip with Renner’s body count to go viral.

Mission accomplished. It is the talk of sports/entertainment media.

That is where we are today. The appetite for salacious content and drama is seemingly at an all-time high. This is what people want to see from famous people.

Renner, who will star in the upcoming season of “Basketball Wives LA,” has been linked to James Harden, Ben Simmons, Jamal Murray, and has a child with Charlotte Hornets forward P.J. Washington.

She makes an interesting point when talking to Sharpe about her experience.

Double Standard

Renner talks about how former New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter was lauded for his string of high-profile dalliances and how it was a featured segment on ESPN. But when she talks about her experience it’s not viewed the same way.

Of course it’s an obvious double standard and the fact that this country has odd puritanical “values” when it comes to women. But men can do whatever. Based of course on a patriarchal view of the world.

The Black Dr. Ruth Westheimer?

But sex is universal regardless of the changing views on how acceptable it is in mainstream conversations. There’s definitely a place, for it and women often prove to be the best teachers.

The legendary sex talk expert and pioneer “Dr. Ruth,” is a German-American sex therapist, talk show host, author, professor, and Holocaust survivor. She rose to fame in the 80s revolutionizing sex talk on her nationally-syndicated radio show and television.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
