Shannon Sharpe claimed he was hacked after an Instagram Live video on his account appeared to capture a sexual encounter on Wednesday.

In the roughly five-minute long video, which has since gone viral on social media, a phone is placed face down on a table while a woman is heard moaning in the background. A man speaking to the woman during the sexual encounter is heard saying a few explicit phrases. At another point in the video, the woman refers to the man as “Shannon.”

It remains to be seen how, if at all, this will affect his role at ESPN.

Sharpe, the Pro Football Hall of Fame tight end, joined the network last year after a seven-year run at FOX Sports as co-host of “Skip and Shannon: Undisputed” alongside Skip Bayless. Sharpe, 56, makes weekly appearances on “First Take” with Stephen A. Smith, Molly Qerim and others.

He also hosts the “Club Shay Shay” podcast, which has 3.44 million subscribers on YouTube.
