Snooker Shocker: Judd Trump Claims Instagram Hack After Explicit Video Appears on Account
World No.1 snooker player Judd Trump has found himself at the center of a social media storm after an explicit video briefly appeared on his Instagram account. The clip, which reportedly showed a man in a hotel room engaging in sexual activity, was shared in the early hours of Sunday morning before being quickly removed.
Fans were left shocked, with some claiming they witnessed the post at around 5 a.m. One snooker enthusiast from Devon admitted to The Sun that they initially thought they were imagining it. “I didn’t know what to make of it at first,” the fan said. “Maybe he was on the receiving end of a heavy night. It was bizarre. I’m a big fan of Judd and snooker in general. As a supporter, I hope this doesn’t affect his career and that he can bounce back. Unfortunately, these things sometimes happen.”
Shortly after the video appeared, Trump posted a follow-up Instagram story claiming that his account had been hacked. A screenshot of the message read: “Just a quick note to let everyone know that my Instagram was hacked. Any images or content posted recently were not posted by me and do not represent me in any way. Please disregard them while I work to regain control of the account.” Both the initial and follow-up posts were later deleted, but screenshots continue to circulate online.
The 36-year-old snooker star, currently dating Hong Kong figure skater Maisy Ma, 25, has built a successful career with over £9 million in prize money and a net worth estimated at £10 million. Ma herself is a seven-time Hong Kong champion and has competed at the ISU Championships and the Asian Winter Games, where she placed tenth in 2017.
Adding to the drama, Trump has recently faced upheaval in his personal life, having left the Gulf state amid the ongoing tensions between the USA, Israel, and Iran, leaving him effectively without a permanent home.
Despite the incident, many of his fans continue to show support, urging the snooker champion to move past the controversy. Trump remains focused on his career, though the social media episode has certainly sparked an intense wave of public attention and speculation.
