Shannon Sharpe is known for digging up celebrity gossip on his blog. Club Shay Shay podcast, but it looks like he’s the subject of a controversial topic today (September 11) as the NFL alumnus posted himself on Instagram having sex, only to later claim his account had been hacked.

“Please be aware my @shannonsharpe84 Instagram was hacked this morning. My team and I are working hard to resolve this,” he posted and deleted on his Instagram Stories on Wednesday.

Clarification from the athlete followed Sharpe’s account, which went live on Wednesday. While Sharpe was not on camera, a woman can be heard moaning and repeatedly saying, “It’s yours, Shannon,” as the camera pans to a wooden floor or bedpost. Smacking sounds can also be heard in the clip, with many claiming the man looks eerily like Sharpe, when it isn’t him. The clip has been reshared on X/Twitter.

Fans of the sports talker couldn’t help but react to the clip, including Sexyy Red, who posted a meme of Sharpe mocking the moment. Other observers had their say too, with many unconvinced that his account had been hacked.

“Shannon Sharpe was on YouTube berating Chad Ochocinco for being unprofessional just to go on Instagram live during the day and do it with a 25 year old,” wrote one critic, while another added, “What does someone gain from using an AI version of Shannon Sharpe’s voice and fucking another woman and hacking his Instagram live? His old ass doesn’t know how to use technology and thought he was making a movie.”

The move follows the appearance of Marlon Wayans on Club Shay Shayanother successful interview for the podcaster, as Wayans felt the need to brag about his impressive YouTube numbers to DJ Vlad of Vlad TV after their social media row.
