Here’s What Shannon Sharpe Says About Viral Intimate Act
It appears Shannon has implied that he is not responsible for the intimate behavior seen on his social media accounts. According to TMZThe clip does not show Sharpe’s face at any point, but a woman can be heard moaning.
“Be careful, my Instagram account @shannonsharpe84 was hacked this morning, my team and I are working hard to resolve this,” Sharpe wrote, signing the message “Unc.”
It’s unclear whether Shannon lost access to the account entirely or if someone simply cracked his password. The clarification post is no longer available on the former athlete’s Instagram Stories. He also didn’t clarify whether the screencasts showed him.
