The mother of Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis has spoken out about his horror after an intimate tape with his ex-girlfriend was leaked by internet hackers.
Beth Levis revealed her son spent a huge sum of money trying to find out how the video ended up in the wrong hands back in May 2024, as well as revealing the phone call she received from the quarterback when he realized what had happened.
Levis, who missed the entire 2025 NFL season after having shoulder surgery, was dating his now ex-girlfriend Gia Duddy at the time.
‘You just know your kids and you know the tenor of their voice and the feel, even though they’re thousands of miles away,’ she said in an interview on the Ross Tucker Football Podcast. ‘As soon as he started talking my heart immediately sank.
‘I was in the car, I ended up pulling over. I come to find out my son had found out there was a very intimate video of he and his ex-girlfriend that had gone viral all over the social media outlets.
‘And the first words out of Will’s mouth were “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, so sorry Mom”. It just broke my heart.’

‘It really hurt Will because he knew this was going to be something that probably a lot of people would see and it’s not meant for anybody else’s eyes, other than perhaps he and his girlfriend.’
Levis also used the interview to shoot down online rumors that her son or Duddy had leaked the footage deliberately. Levis and Duddy split in September 2023 and she had noticed people questioning if one of them had leaked the footage to upset the other.
‘There was conjecture that this video was leaked on purpose by my son or his girlfriend at the time which was not the case at all,’ she said.
‘Will actually ended up engaging in hiring a cyber security specialist and private investigator, spent an exorbitant amount of money to try and get to the bottom of this. It’s amazing you can even do this, it’s crazy these people are even available.’
Those investigators discovered that Levis had been hacked by criminals thousands of miles away.
‘Ultimately, a lot of the content was taken down but you know, you can never scrape anything entirely off the internet,’ she added. ‘We did find out this content was stolen and his private laptop, or whatever, was actually breached and invaded a year or two earlier when he was in college.
‘We come to find out it was an eastern European hacking group who target an attractive couple and do what they do for attention. We came to terms with that, it wasn’t something malicious from somebody else.’
Mrs Levis was speaking after launching a clothing brand called ‘Chill Life Style’ where consumers are encouraged to spend less time on their phones and more time engaging with the world around them.
Levis was with Duddy when he endured draft humiliation in the first round back in 2023
After a year out with shoulder surgery, Levis is preparing for 2026 with Tennessee Titans
As for her son, he has returned to practice with the Titans as buildup begins for the 2026 season.
He will begin the campaign behind Cam Ward, who enters his second season as the starting quarterback in Tennessee after being taken with the first pick of the 2025 Draft.
Levis, 26, is well known for his own struggles on draft night in 2023. He was widely expected to be a first-round pick and was sat in the green room alongside Duddy and his mom.
But every pick came and went without his name being called on an awkward night. He was eventually taken by the Titans at No. 33 in the second round – the Titans traded up to take him.
Levis now enters the final year of his $9.5million rookie contract with the Titans in 2026. And there’s a new era beginning with the team, too – they appointed Robert Saleh as head coach in the offseason.
They begin the season against Saleh’s former team, the New York Jets, on September 13 at Nissan Stadium in Nashville.
