Shannon Sharpe has some explaining to do, as his private life has leaked on the internet for all to see (or hear).

Earlier today, an explicit video of the former NFL tight end leaked online. Sharpe has since issued a statement claiming that his Instagram account had been hacked. “Beware my @shannonsharpe84 Instagram was hacked this morning, my team and I are working vigorously to figure this out,” the message on his IG story read.

The statement was in response to a video that had surfaced online of what sounds like Sharpe engaging in intercourse with a female. The video is over a minute long, and while it doesn’t include any nudity, it does feature a lot of moaning and other inappropriate noises.

As such, we’re not going to post it on this page, but you can watch it here if it’s something you’d like to check out.

Shannon Sharpe Could Find Himself In Hot Water With ESPN After This

After a stint at FoxSports working alongside Skip Bayless on “Undisputed,” Sharpe moved ship and can now be seen on ESPN’s “First Take” with his buddy Stephen A. Smith. Whether or not this leak causes ESPN to take action against Sharpe remains to be seen, but it wouldn’t be the first time they’ve taken that sort of route with their on-air talent.

Back in 2021, Pierce was fired from the Worldwide Leader in Sports after a video surfaced of him partying with a bunch of female dancers on his Instagram Live. The former Boston Celtics superstar was very outspoken about his firing afterward, as the incident took place on his own time.

It’ll be interesting to see how ESPN chooses to deal with Shannon Sharpe, and what Pierce has to say about that decision — whatever it may be.
