Denver Nuggets star Jamal Murray found himself in some hot water after a NSFW video appeared on his Instagram stories. Following the initial posting, Murray’s IG account then posted a series of weird stories. The 6-foot-3 guard then deactivated his Instagram.
Murray later took to Twitter to respond to the dicey situation and claimed that his account had been hacked:
First and foremost I would like to apologize to my fans. My account has been hacked, currently working on the issue. Thanks 🙏🏽— Jamal Murray (@BeMore27) March 22, 2020
After the Nuggets talent sent out the tweet, Murray’s girlfriend, Harper Hempel, pleaded for the video to be deleted:
If you have the video please delete it— Harper Hempel (@harperhempel) March 22, 2020
Murray’s name started trending on social media early Sunday morning. However, it was not for the right reasons. For real, though, there is no reason for the Nuggets guard to apologize for this. In fact, he sure seems to be a victim here, at least according to him.
Certainly, whatever the perpetrator did (assuming this was a hacking and not just a mistake by Murray) is a violation of Murray and his girlfriend’s privacy. Murray will likely launch an investigation to find out who the culprit is. With the suspension of the season, the 23-year-old has a lot of time on his hands to get to the bottom of the situation.
NBA players are still coping with the abrupt suspension of the 2019-20 season due to the coronavirus outbreak. Fans, likewise, have been finding ways to kill time with no basketball or other sports to kill the boredom. Nonetheless, whatever reasons the person who did this gives, this is no excuse for participating in such a disgraceful act like this.
Hopefully, as the Nuggets star dives further into the situation, he can successfully catch the wrongdoer and put that person in their place. Until then, we will just have to wait and see how this all unfolds.
