Skip Bayless, a well-known sports analyst and former FS1 host, has recently found himself in the spotlight for unexpected reasons. After leaving FS1 in August and concluding an eight-year run on the show Undisputed, Bayless has focused on growing his podcast and engaging with fans on YouTube.
However, his online presence took a hit when his X account was hacked, leading to a series of provocative and now-deleted posts that raised eyebrows among his fans. The hacker wasted no time posting several inflammatory tweets under Bayless’s name, mocking him in various ways. One message claimed, “btw skip talks to escorts in his twitter dms i do think hes really lonely and needs some soul searching, poor guy.”
Another post, which used offensive language, taunted Bayless for not being able to reclaim his account quickly, with the hacker expressing boredom over the lack of response:
“ni**a cant even get his twitter back what a retard LOL, its been hours im BORED AS F*** AND THIS NIGGA HAS NOT GOTTEN HIS ACCOUNT BACK THIS IS CRAZYY LAKERS,” the post read.
Bayless has long been known for his strong opinions. Recently, he criticized LeBron James for complaining about the travel schedule ahead of a preseason game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Notably, the hacker seemed to be aware of this history, possibly as a LeBron fan.

Fans React To Skip Bayless’ Social Media Account Hacking
The hacker’s tweets quickly captured fans’ attention, drawing both amusement and speculation. Fans noted that the tweets, which ranged from mocking Bayless’s personal life to his critical stance on LeBron James, had an ironic resemblance to Bayless’s own typical social media style.
Many fans felt that the tweet on LeBron James might have been a playful form of revenge on Bayless. Some fans joked that the hacker might be a die-hard LeBron fan, capitalizing on an opportunity to make Bayless acknowledge LeBron in a positive light for once.
Despite the disruptive nature of the hacking, some followers found it entertaining that Bayless was the recipient of a similarly provocative style. Fans laughed at their best while reading the posts.
Bayless has not posted anything acknowledging the hacking incident yet. Fans are eagerly waiting for the sports analyst’s first post after the hacking saga.
