Shannon Sharpe appears to post sex video on Instagram and claims her account was hacked

Shannon Sharpe claims his Instagram was hacked after a sexually explicit video was posted to his account on Wednesday.

In the one-and-a-half minute long video, a woman's moaning can be heard, but Sharpe and other faces are not visible.

At one point, the ESPN anchor's name appears to be spoken by the anonymous voice.

At the beginning of the video, the camera appeared to be pointing at the ceiling before turning around and pointing downward for the rest of the clip.

Thousands of people watched Sharpe's Instagram clip, which he claimed was part of a cyberattack.

Thousands of people with more than 3.2 million followers on Instagram tuned in to the NSFW live feed before it disappeared.

Some Instagram users poked fun at Sharpe's expense in the comments as the video dragged on.

“Hang up, Big Unc,” wrote one commenter, referring to his nickname.

“UNC is going crazy right now,” said another.

Sharpe later blamed the post on a cyberattack.

“Beware, my Instagram @shannonsharpe84 was hacked this morning, my team and I are working hard to figure it out – UNC,” he wrote in a now-deleted post.
