Pro Football Hall of Famer turned sports media personality Shannon Sharpe broke his silence after his Instagram account went live with audio from an apparent sexual encounter on Wednesday (September 11).
"Beware my @ShannonSharpe84 Instagram was hacked this morning, my team and I are working vigorously to figure this out. - UNC," Sharpe wrote in a post shared on his Instagram story.
The Instagram Live video appeared to be taken with the phone face-down on a table while a woman is heard panting in the background as apparent sexual activity takes place. A man is heard saying "Let me put this d**k in you," "you know what I like" and "that's my Michelle," in a voice resembling Sharpe's.
The woman appears to refer to the man as "Shannon" during the encounter. Sharpe, 56, joined ESPN's debate show First Take last year after leaving FS1's Undisputed. The former tight end is also the host of the podcasts Club Shay Shay and Nightcap opposite fellow NFL legend Chad Ochocinco Johnson.
Sharpe was a three-time Super Bowl champion -- twice with the Denver Broncos and once with the Baltimore Ravens -- a four-time first-team All-Pro, one-time second-team All-Pro, eight-time Pro Bowler and selected to the NFL 1990s All-Decade Team during his hall of fame playing career.
