Wait 5 sec.

Antonio Brown, once the NFL’s most explosive wide receiver, is now becoming famous for news headlines rather than his NFL career. After his infamous mid-game exit with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2021, the former Pittsburgh Steelers star, who twice led the league in receiving yards and was selected to seven Pro Bowls, has not played since. His football finale came with a spectacle that stunned the sports world, stripping off his jersey and pads mid-game in 2021, waving to the crowd, and jogging shirtless into the locker room during the Buccaneers’ Week 17 clash against the Jets. Since then, Brown’s career after football has been filled with off-field problems, viral posts, and frequent brushes with the law. Now, things have drastically escalated. On Friday, Brown posted a seemingly carefree clip on X with the caption, “Watch my two step #London.”  Dressed in a green-and-black Adidas jacket and sunglasses, the 36-year-old appeared relaxed, riding in a car. He shared another video from the Middle East a few hours ago with the hashtag #lovefromthemiddleeast as the description, hinting at his current location thousands of miles from U.S. jurisdiction. But beneath the curated calm, serious legal trouble brews.Watch my two step #London pic.twitter.com/mlpc8axssg— AB (@AB84) June 14, 2025Due to a violent altercation during an amateur boxing event in May, Antonio Brown has been charged with attempted m*rder. And has been issued an arrest warrant in Miami-Dade County. Eyewitnesses and video evidence purport to show Brown at the center of a violent event that involved two g*nshots, according to CNN and WSVN.Brown, who was temporarily detained before being released, defended himself on social media. “I was jumped by multiple individuals who tried to steal my jewellery and cause physical harm to me,” he posted on X. “Contrary to some video circulating, Police temporarily detained me until they received my side of the story and then released me. I WENT HOME THAT NIGHT AND WAS NOT ARRESTED. I will be talking to my legal council and attorneys on pressing charges on the individuals that jumped me.”The warrant details that Antonio Brown punched a man during a huge fight and then allegedly grabbed a g*n from a security guard before chasing and confronting the same man. According to reports, social media footage shows Brown with the g*n before g*nshots can be heard. Though police didn’t recover the weapon from Brown at the scene, they found spent casings and an empty holster nearby.
