Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson Responds to Sharelle Rosado Split: 'Have You Seen me? Look at This Chocolate'
Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson recently addressed questions about his breakup with Sharelle Rosado, delivering a confident and humorous response.
When asked how he could part ways with Rosado during an online livestream, he quipped, "Have you seen me? Look at me. She left this. Look at this chocolate, this is Willy Wonka chocolate. She left this. She left me when I'm in my season too."
"I'm in my season!" Johnson proclaimed.
During a sit-down with Carlos King, the Selling Tampa alum detailed how she found out the ex-Cincinnati Bengals' player had "something going on, [...] texting other women, and I found out about it. Like, 'Do you know who I am?' Like I know who you are and I will respect what you have, but it is what it is. Like nobody is perfect, but when things happen, be honest about it. It shouldn't lead to the point of how I found out."
"Yes I went through the phone," Rosado clarified when King clarified how she found out about his alleged infidelities, and not through "home surveillance footage." She described how she went through his phone and "found women everywhere."
