Steven Ruiz is a happy man now that he has gotten paid what was owed to him.
Earlier this month, the former Chef of Antonio Brown said he was planning to file a lawsuit against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver for $10,000 in unpaid wages. As you know, he was the man who set off an NFL investigation that informed everybody that Brown used a fake COVID-19 vaccination card, leading to the wideout’s three-game suspension.
“The game plan now is to file a lawsuit and take it from there,” Ruiz said. “People provide a service and you’ve got to pay for it. That’s it.”
That will not be happening now as Ruiz, who owns TasteThatLA in Los Angeles, told TMZ Sports the two parties “reached an agreement recently and both sides are now moving on.”
“Both parties were satisfied,” the rep said. “After two months of being slandered in the press, Mr. Ruiz felt it was in his best interest to move forward and attend to his clients’ needs for their Christmas parties this week. He wished the best to AB and the Bucs as they head toward the playoffs.”
Brown is now eligible to return from his suspension and the Bucs are more than welcome to bring him back after losing multiple players to injuries on offense. The team could not muster up a single point on Sunday Night Football after the sudden rash of injuries.
