Will Levis had his private life exposed in the worst way possible in May 2024, when intimate videos featuring him and former girlfriend Gia Duddy surfaced online. Now, over a year later, his mother Beth Levis is speaking publicly about the aftermath. In a recent appearance on the Ross Tucker Football Podcast, she revealed her son spent heavily on a cybersecurity team to trace the source and confirmed it led back to an organized hacking group based in Eastern Europe.
Who was behind the Will Levis and Gia Duddy leak video?
Beth Levis made it clear this was not an inside job. The private content, she explained, had been stolen from Levis' phone or laptop while he was still in college, roughly one to two years before it ever went public.
"We did find out that actually this content was stolen and his private either laptop or digital platform/phone was actually breached and invaded a year or two earlier when he was in college," Beth said.
Investigators traced the leak to a hacking group with a documented pattern of targeting recognizable couples online. "We came to find out that this was an Eastern European hacking group that is notorious for trying to target what they think might be an attractive couple that they can then expose," she added. The group's motive appeared to be attention and notoriety rather than anything more personal. This directly contradicts the rumors that Duddy had leaked the content herself. Beth shut those claims down, stating Duddy had no involvement and was equally a victim in this situation.
How did Will Levis respond after the leak?
Levis did not go quiet. He assembled a team of cybersecurity specialists and a private investigator, spending what his mother described as a significant sum of money to investigate the breach and suppress the content across platforms.
"So Will actually 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," Beth said. "And through that, try to scrape what they could to make this go away. Ultimately, a lot of the content was taken down, but you know, you can never scrape anything entirely from the internet."
Beth recalled the moment her son first reached out to her. "The first words out of Will's mouth were, 'I'm so sorry, mom,' and it just broke my heart," she said.
Most of the content has since been removed from mainstream platforms, but as Beth acknowledged, the internet never truly forgets.
