NFL Star Has Epic Twitter Implosion, Claims He Was Hacked [UPDATED]

Credit:

Gaffney posted an expletive-laden stream of messages to do with his wife, following another recent profane tweet about his cousin and fellow NFL player Lito Sheppard.

In the middle of the string of tweets, Gaffney did take the time to clarify that the two dust-ups are not related.

Here, edited for language is the tweet that started Gaffney's Thursday afternoon rant: "4-12 is my anniversary woke up and couldn't find my soon 2 be ex wife anywhere. F___ dat b____ I can't wait till its final in a few weeks"

Some 15 minutes later, he posted this message:

Feelings are for suckas Neva Eva again. Black heart dead soul!!! Get it how u live & I'm outta here— Jabar Gaffney (@JabarGaffney) April 12, 2012

The post fueled speculation that Sheppard, who Gaffney blasted in this tweet from a few days ago, had relations with his wife on the couple's anniversary. But Gaffney responded to that speculation with this profane tweet, again edited for language:

"Ain't nobody f____d my wife but for anybody saying any slick s___ better watch ur girl and not let me get hold to her"

Later, Gaffney summarized the situation thus:

"Last tweet: b____ ain't grateful no matter what u do for em. Homeboys will change on u. I keeps it 100 don't read into that's all it is."

He capped off the rant, with another "final" tweet and invitation for future discourse:

I'm done tweetin all u smart asses i be in da 904, 407 & 703 tell me what u think if and when u c me— Jabar Gaffney (@JabarGaffney) April 12, 2012

This isn't the first time Gaffney has tweeted recklessly. In November he used Twitter to tell a fan to "kill urself."

UPDATE: Gaffney posted this a few hours after the outburst of profane messages: "This is the real Jabar and my acct was hacked that wasn't me saying all of that so disreguard whatever u read."

Do you think Gaffney's account was actually hacked? Let us know what you think in the comments.
