Shannon Sharpe says his Instagram was hacked after his account livestreamed a sex act.

In footage now aired by X, which aired for fans of the NFL legend, a man and a woman can be heard getting intimate.

A woman can be heard groaning and a man breathing heavily, but no face is visible in the video because the camera is pointed at the ground.

Sharpe claims he was not one of the two people in the video and had nothing to do with its leak.

In a now-deleted post on his Instagram Story, Sharpe said, “Beware, my @shannonsharpe84 Instagram was hacked this morning. My team and I are working hard to resolve this — UNC.”

Screenshots of the recording show that at one point more than 6,500 people were watching the video simultaneously.

Considered one of the best tight ends of all time, NFL Hall of Famer Sharpe enjoyed a 14-year playing career, primarily with the Denver Broncos. He also represented the Baltimore Ravens from 2000-01.

The three-time Super Bowl winner has never been married and explained why on his podcast last year.

“I would have liked to have gotten married earlier in my career, but my career was the most important thing,” he said.

“So I wasn’t good. I was a terrible father, I was probably a terrible brother, terrible son – I was definitely a terrible friend. Because football was the most important thing.

“I was completely obsessed with it because I wanted to get my grandmother and my family out of the circumstances that they were in.

“…A lot of women said they would be fine with being number 2 in football. But when it came down to it and they saw how dedicated I was to it, they couldn’t do it.”

After retiring from soccer in 2003, he has had a successful career in broadcasting, starring for seven years on Fox Sports’ Undisputed with Skip Bayless before moving to ESPN in June to create Stephen A. Smith’s First Take.
