Shannon Sharpe didn’t take long to admit that his Instagram account did not get hacked when he went live while having sexual intercourse with an unknown female on Wednesday.

The former NFL star, who is now with ESPN, had an intimate moment exposed to the world after accidentally streaming a few minutes of his raunchy action with a certain “Michelle.”

Sharpe initially claimed that he was hacked but has since admitted that was not the case. The 54-year-old addressed the viral moment during an emergency episode of his ‘Nightcap’ podcast with Chad Johnson. He admitted that he was perhaps a bit too excited and just threw his phone into the bed before getting busy.

The erstwhile tight end said he had no idea how his phone ended up on IG Live, as he had never used the feature before and was not aware it was happening until his other phone started ringing.

Fortunately for “Unc,” his media guy, Jordan, turned the stream off from another location.

Shannon Sharpe Also Explains The “Hacked” Announcement

Sharpe also explained that he was not the one who posted the announcement about getting hacked. Jordan was responsible for that, too.

He claimed to have asked the latter to take it down after becoming aware of it, although he appreciated the effort.

In any case, Sharpe has learned his lesson. The Hall of Famer declared he’s going back to Android and leaving his phone in the car to ensure nothing like this ever happens again.
