Antonio Brown, a former NFL receiver, has a tendency to speak whatever comes to mind. Both Brown’s new podcast, “CTESPN,” and his X/Twitter account have generated a great deal of controversy. Brown has openly embraced the neurological disease CTE, which is common among retired NFL and NHL players.
However, Brown’s most recent online antics may have crossed a line. After weighing in on the hip-hop mogul’s legal issues, the four-time All-Pro wide receiver braved Sean “Diddy” Combs’ waters. Fans mercilessly reminded him that he’s not a saint either.
Antonio Brown’s history of violence
This week, Brown demanded that Combs be arrested in a Photoshopped image posted on X in response to the resurfacing of footage from 2016 that purports to show Combs abusing his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura. According to Brown, “Detective AB” would, in a sense, finish the job if the Los Angeles Police Department declined to arrest Diddy because the statute of limitations had run out.
Diddy’s face was overlaid over Cuba Gooding Jr.’s body by Brown as a tribute to the actor’s controversial 2019 arrest. It maintained Brown’s tendency to opine on any and all cultural matters—including, it turns out, his personal insolvency.
Fans have criticized Brown for his hypocrisy throughout the week, pointing out that the former Pittsburgh Steelers player resolved an out-of-court sexual assault claim in 2021, which was brought by his former personal trainer. It is just one of several legal problems that Brown has had in the years after leaving Pittsburgh in 2018. These problems have also coincided with his downfall.
This is wild considering you’ve been accused of Sexual and Physical assault against women bro.

Brown was arrested in October 2023 after numerous warrants were obtained for him last year due to unpaid child support, in addition to episodes of domestic abuse. Since then, he has concentrated on attempting to create a media empire centered around the “CTESPN” brand; however, similar to Diddy, he fears that legal complications may hinder the success of this endeavor.
