Facebook won’t comment on Kenny Britt “hacking”

As we continue to look at the strange case of Titans receiver Kenny Britt’s Facebook page, which on Monday featured a retirement, an un-retirement, and a claim of hacking, we reached out to the folks at Facebook to see if they could shed any light on the situation.

Unfortunately, Facebook won’t tell us what they know about Britt’s account.

“Facebook doesn’t comment on individual user’s accounts, for privacy reasons,” Facebook spokesperson Johanna Peace told PFT.

So we’re left to wonder what happened with Britt’s account. It’s possible that Britt pulled a Favre and pulled a Weiner on Monday (and I’m not talking about texting a picture of his junk): He may have retired, un-retired, and then falsely claimed he had been hacked. Or it’s possible that Britt is telling the truth, and that two Facebook messages were posted by a hacker.

Britt is sticking with his hacking story, in which he says someone hacked him months ago and he waited until Monday to do anything about it. The claim sounds fairly ridiculous, but it’s not a claim that Facebook will refute.
