Will Levis' Mother Says QB Paid Heavily to Fight 2024 Sex-Tape Hack

Her account says investigators traced the footage to an Eastern European cybercrime group and that removals left a lasting online footprint.

Overview

  • An intimate video of Will Levis and his then-girlfriend surfaced online in May 2024 and went viral, prompting private investigation and removal efforts.
  • Beth Levis recounted on the Ross Tucker Podcast in late May 2026 that her son hired cybersecurity specialists and a private investigator and spent an “exorbitant” sum to trace and take down the material.
  • The family’s investigators concluded the footage was stolen after a breach of Levis’ device or digital accounts while he was in college and attributed the theft to an Eastern European hacking group.
  • Those hired to scrub the content achieved many takedowns but could not fully erase copies, leaving what Beth Levis described as a permanent online footprint.
  • Neither Will Levis nor the Tennessee Titans have publicly responded to Beth Levis’s account, and the case highlights the high cost and limited reach of private remediation for cross-border revenge-porn style breaches.
