This morning, September 11, ESPN personality and former Denver Broncos star tight end Shannon Sharpe's Instagram account briefly broadcast a live video in which people appeared to be having sex.

No faces were captured during the event, but some X users believe Sharpe's distinctive voice can be heard in the clip.

Sharpe quickly posted an explanation to his Instagram story, which has since been deleted.

"Beware my @shannonsharpe84 Instagram was hacked this morning, my team and I are working vigorously to figure this out — UNC," Sharpe wrote.

"Unc" is Sharpe's nickname. In Sharpe's fourteen years with the Broncos, he scored 62 touchdowns, was selected to the Pro Bowl seven times and was part of the 1997 and 1998 Super Bowl Champion teams. He also won a Super Bowl in 2001 with the Baltimore Ravens before returning to the Broncos to end his career.
Sharpe isn't the only Denver athlete to have such an experience on Instagram. In 2020, Jamal Murray of the Denver Nuggets appeared to accidentally post a video of himself receiving oral sex from his then-girlfriend on Instagram.
