Antonio Brown is back in the news yet again, and just like the previous headlines, this is not for something good he did.
Celebrity jeweler Shuki International filed a lawsuit against the former NFL wide receiver in Los Angeles this week to recoup money Brown allegedly failed to pay in exchange for jewelry.
According to TMZ Sports, Shuki alleged in the lawsuit that Brown agreed to pay him $1.095 million by December 1st, 2022 for a pair of Shuki International diamond fingers, as well as a white gold chain and a ring. Brown reportedly received some or all of his order on Feb. 24, 2022, but he has elected to not pay a single dime to compensate the jeweler.
Shuki’s attorney, Steven H. Stone, told TMZ Sports the jeweler is expected to address the claims publicly later this week.
The two parties seem to have previously had a good relationship as they even hit the stage together in the past year. The two parties seem to have previously had a good relationship and made a song for Shuki International called “Shuki Diamonds.”
That friendship has now gone sour.
Brown has been no stranger to legal issues in recent years.

Britney Taylor, who was Brown’s trainer, filed a lawsuit in 2019 against Brown accusing him of sexually assaulting her three times, and they eventually reached a settlement.
Back in December, a warrant was issued for Brown’s arrest for domestic violence battery. However, he would refuse to come out of his home for days to avoid being arrested. In the meantime, the mother of his children would drop her claim and he would not be arrested.
Brown was released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in January 2022 after he had a blowup on the sidelines with Bruce Arians. He walked off the field in the third quarter of the game and has not played a game since that moment.
In his 12-year career with the Pittsburgh Steelers, New England Patriots, and Buccaneers, Brown had 928 catches for 12,291 yards and 83 touchdowns.
