"It was a huge mistake," Tunsil said. "Things happen. I can't control [people] getting in my phone and hacking my Instagram and my Twitter."
Tunsil also had his Instagram account hacked, with screenshots of alleged text messages between Tunsil and one of his assistant coaches from college surfacing.
The texts show Tunsil asking for money under the table to pay his rent, and is likely to get his school, Mississippi, in more trouble than him.
Mississippi is already under investigation by the NCAA for improper payments and other misdeeds, and Tunsil only added to the school's woes by admitting the pictures of the texts were real during his draft press conference, saying "yeah, that happened".
Tunsil's former stepfather, Lindsey Miller, was immediately questioned as a possible culprit. He has been feuding with the player in the courts over a domestic incident involving Tunsil's mother.
Miller told TMZ "I don't know nothing about no video".
"I'm not even watching the draft. I was a Red Cross volunteer of the year. I would never do anything like this."
Tunsil later told Miami reporters in a conference call that he did not want to press charges against whoever was responsible.
When asked if he had learned anything after the night, he said "Yeah, you can't trust everybody."
