Shannon Sharpe mistakenly recorded and broadcast himself in an intimate encounter, but now he may be able to profit from it.
Sharpe is having quite the last 24 hours after accidentally live-casting audio of him having sex, which predictably went viral online.
A video popped up Wednesday on the 56-year-old Pro Football Hall of Famer’s Instagram Live. A voice that sounded like Sharpe’s could also be heard talking dirty to his partner, and the woman referred to the man as “Shannon.”
Soon after, a post on Sharpe’s Instagram story to his 3.2 million followers noted: “Beware my @ShannonSharpe84 Instagram was hacked this morning, my team and I are working vigorously to figure this out.”
He would eventually fess up.
Shannon Sharpe can now remain the main character on social media as he is receiving offers from Adult Film Sites.

“We would love to offer him a solid $100,000 to see him avoid the t–s and p—- defense and see him score the ultimate BBC touchdown on our set,” they told TMZ.
Sharpe seems unlikely to take the offer up since he works for ESPN, and he is not hard-up for money with many thriving businesses.
Shannon Sharpe Reveals He Was Not Hacked And He Was Having Sex
Sharpe unintentionally broadcasted audio of a private moment with a woman on Instagram Live, leading to widespread attention.
Sharpe openly acknowledged his embarrassment over the situation, clarifying that it wasn’t due to a hack.
“Obviously, I am embarrassed,” Shannon Sharpe said.
“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.
“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 who engage in activities, but for the audio to be heard, I’m disappointed in myself. I let a lot of people down.
