NFL Quarterback’s Mother Addresses Controversy Over Leaked Personal Video with Former Partner

The mother of Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis has expressed her distress following the unauthorized release of a private video featuring her son and his former girlfriend, which was leaked by online hackers.

Beth Levis disclosed that her son invested a significant amount of money in an attempt to trace how the video was distributed without consent back in May 2024. She also recounted the moment she received a call from him, revealing his shock and dismay over the incident.

Levis, who was sidelined for the whole 2025 NFL season due to shoulder surgery, was involved with his then-girlfriend, Gia Duddy, when the breach occurred.

In an interview on the Ross Tucker Football Podcast, she shared, “As a parent, you recognize the tone and emotion in your child’s voice, even from miles away. The moment he spoke, I felt an immediate sense of dread.”

“I was driving when he called, and had to pull over. I learned that my son discovered an intimate video of him and his ex-girlfriend had been widely circulated on social media platforms,” she continued.

‘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.
