Antonio brown has been sent his one and only warning from the league.
A woman who says Antonio Brown made an unwanted sexual advance toward her in 2017 and was fired after not giving him what he wanted in return said she received intimidating text messages from the Patriots wide receiver on Wednesday night in the wake of a Sports Illustrated story detailing her allegations.
“I’m on my knees painting the [mural], and he walks up to me butt-ass naked, with a hand cloth covering his [penis] and starts having a conversation with me,” the woman told Klemko. “Unfortunately, I’ve been tried [by men] a lot of times, so I just kept my cool and kept painting. After that, it all ended abruptly.”
Brown sent out a group text message to the woman and accused her of fabricating a “bull sh-t” story in an effort to “make up some stuff for money.”
Robert Klemko reports that the woman’s lawyer sent a letter to the NFL explaining that Brown is “intimidating and threatening . . . our client, in violation of the NFL Personal Conduct Policy.”
“Our client . . . is understandably frightened by these text messages, which are clearly intended to threaten and intimidate her,” attorney Lisa J. Banks wrote. “While she certainly qualifies as a ‘starving artist,’ she has never approached Mr. Brown, nor will she, about seeking money to compensate her for his sexual misconduct, contrary to his allegations in the text messages.”
“This sort of intimidation and harassment is the reason victims are often so reluctant to step forward in these cases. We have confidence the NFL and the Patriots will step in and end this behavior.”
