Here’s What Shannon Sharpe Said About Alleged Viral Intimate Act
It appears that Shannon has implied he wasn’t responsible for the intimate act allegedly seen on his social media account. According to TMZ, the clip did not show Sharpe’s face at any point, but a woman was seemingly heard moaning.
“Beware my @shannonsharpe84 Instagram was hacked this morning, my team and I are working vigorously to figure this out,” Sharpe wrote, signing his message with “Unc.”
It’s unclear if Shannon entirely lost access to the account or if someone just cracked his password. The clarification post is no longer available on the former athlete’s Instagram Stories. He also didn’t explicitly say whether the screen-recorded clips involved him or not.

Meanwhile, @hey_sita isn’t buying Shannon Sharpe’s “hacked” story, and used a clip of Saucy Santana to shade the podcast host. “Shannon Sharpe was in there grunting and growling like a Cane Corso but wants us to believe he got hacked,” @hey_sita wrote.
