Leak, Hack, and Immediate Reaction
In May 2024 an intimate video of Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis and his then-girlfriend, influencer Gia Duddy, spread across social-media platforms. Levis called his mother, Beth Levis, apologizing repeatedly; she recalled his first words as “I’m so sorry, mom,” and said the call “broke my heart.” The couple had broken up in October 2023, and the video’s appearance intensified public scrutiny.
Origin of the Breach
Beth Levis explained that investigators traced the source to a breach of Levis’s personal laptop or phone while he was in college, occurring a year or two before the 2024 leak. The intrusion was attributed to an “Eastern European hacking group” described as “notorious for targeting attractive couples for attention.” The group’s motive was not linked to any personal grievance with Levis or Duddy.
Countermeasures and Costs
Following the leak, Levis hired a cybersecurity specialist and a private investigator, incurring an “exorbitant” financial outlay. The team succeeded in removing the video from many hosting sites, yet Beth emphasized that complete eradication is impossible: “you can never scrape anything entirely from the internet; it’s there forever, there is a footprint.” No precise monetary figure was disclosed.
Official Statements from the Levis Family
During a May 25, 2026 appearance on the Ross Tucker Football Podcast, Beth Levis detailed the sequence of events, affirmed that the breach was external, and rejected speculation that Levis or Duddy orchestrated the leak. She highlighted the emotional toll on her son and the family, and noted that the incident spurred the creation of her mental-health-focused apparel line, Chill Life, aimed at encouraging offline connection and resilience.
Criticism, Online Backlash, and Gaps
Social-media users accused Duddy and Levis of deliberately releasing the tape, especially given the timing after their breakup. Commentators also questioned the propriety of a mother publicly discussing her son’s private video. The sources provide no exact cost figure, no official comment from the Titans organization, and no public identification of the hacking group beyond its regional origin. Consequently, the full scope of the video’s removal and its impact on Levis’s career remain unclear.
Verbatim Quotes
- “The first words out of Will’s mouth were, ‘I’m so sorry, mom,’ and it just broke my heart,” — Beth Levis
- “Will actually ended up engaging in hiring a cyber security specialist and spent an exorbitant amount of money to try to get to the bottom of this, and through that try to scrape — it’s amazing that you can do this, it’s crazy these people are even available — what they could to ultimately make this go away.” — Beth Levis
- “Ultimately a lot of the content was taken, but you know you can never scrape anything entirely from the internet. It’s there forever. There is a footprint, unfortunately.” — Beth Levis
Outlook and Next Steps
Levis entered the 2024 season as the Titans’ starter but lost the role to Cam Ward after a season-ending shoulder injury in 2025. Beth Levis plans to expand Chill Life, using the experience to promote digital-wellness. The family’s ongoing privacy efforts and the Titans’ future roster decisions will shape the longer-term ramifications of the 2024 leak.
