Shannon Sharpe claims he was hacked in response to viral NSFW Instagram Live incident
Shannon Sharpe claimed he was hacked after an Instagram Live video on his account appeared to capture a sexual encounter on Wednesday.
In the roughly five-minute long video, which has since gone viral on social media, a phone is placed face down on a table while a woman is heard moaning in the background. A man speaking to the woman during the sexual encounter is heard saying, “Let me put this d*** in you” and “You know what I like.” At another point in the video, the woman refers to the man as “Shannon.”
Sharpe said in an Instagram post that he and his team are “working vigorously” to figure out what happened.
“Beware my @shannonsharpe84 Instagram was hacked this morning, my team and I working vigorously to figure this out,” Sharpe wrote.
