Wednesday Shannon Sharpe came clean about the sultry Instagram Live post he put out on Wednesday afternoon, sharing with his roughly 3.2 million followers live audio of himself engaged in sexual activity with a woman.

The Pro Football Hall of Famer and ESPN personality admitted that his Instagram was not hacked and that it was in fact himself and a woman engaged in a sexual activity that he had accidentally beamed to his millions of followers.

“Obviously I am embarrassed. Someone that is extremely, extremely private and to have one of your most intimate details – the audio – heard for the entire world to hear, I’m embarrassed for a number of reasons,” a contrite-sounding Sharpe initially said during an emergency episode of “Nightcap.”

“There are a lot of people that count on Shannon to be professional at all times and I always try to be professional at all times, even when I’m behind closed doors. … I’m very disappointed in myself, not for the act. I think there are millions and billions of people of consenting age that engage in activities, but for the audio to be heard I’m disappointed in myself. I let a lot of people down.”


It was on Wednesday afternoon that the video went live on Instagram of Sharpe engaging in the activity with an unknown female, who could be heard moaning.
