Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis spent an “exorbitant amount of money” in 2024 to investigate who was behind the leak of his sex tape, his mother said in a podcast interview about how she used that incident to launch a mental health brand.

Beth Levis said on the “Ross Tucker Football Podcast” that she first learned about the leak nearly two years ago, when she got a phone call from her son.
“The first words out of Will’s mouth was, ‘I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry, so sorry, mom.’ And it just broke my heart,” she said.
Will Levis, who was drafted by the Titans in the 2023 draft after playing for Penn State and the University of Kentucky, and his girlfriend at the time were accused of secretly leaking the tape themselves.
“Which was not the case at all,” Beth Levis said.
She said her son ended up hiring a cybersecurity specialist and private investigator, “and spent an exorbitant amount of money to try to get to the bottom of this.”
The family learned that the tape had allegedly been stolen by an “Eastern European hacking group” after his laptop or phone was breached while he was still in college.
The group is “notorious for trying to target what they think might be an attractive couple that they can then expose.”
Beth Levis said the incident also affected her daughter, who was the target of “sexually explicit” words and images “related to the video that had gone viral.”
While the leak impacted the family, Beth Levis said she used it as an opportunity to launch her Chill Life Style brand, which encourages people to step away from their phones and electronics.
“I’m truly sorry you and your family had to go through both of those experiences to get to this point,” Tucker said. “But what I will say is you are doing what you set out to do.”
