From Brown's Attorney:
STATEMENT REGARDING ANTONIO BROWN
Antonio Brown learned today that he has been named in a lawsuit filed in federal court in the Southern
District of Florida.
Mr. Brown denies each and every allegation in the lawsuit. He will pursue all legal remedies to not only
clear his name, but to also protect other professional athletes against false accusations.
Mr. Brown was approached by his accuser in 2017, shortly after Mr. Brown signed a contract making him
the highest paid wide receiver in the NFL.
At that time, Mr. Brown was asked to invest $1.6 million dollars in the accuser's business project.
Mr. Brown was not informed by his accuser that she had just been levied with a $30,000 IRS tax lien or
that $300,000 of the $1.6 million so called "investment" was to be used to purchase property already owned
by the accuser and her mother.
When Mr. Brown refused to make the $1.6 million "investment," the accuser supposedly cut off
communications with Mr. Brown.
However, in 2018, the accuser resurfaced and offered to travel to Pennsylvania and South Florida to train
Mr. Brown for the upcoming season.
Thereafter, the accuser engaged Mr. Brown in a consensual personal relationship. Any sexual interaction
with Mr. Brown was entirely consensual.
The accuser not only traveled to Mr. Brown's residences on multiple occasions, she traveled from
Tennessee to Florida and returned at 2 a.m. to Mr. Brown's residence ten days after the alleged assault.
The accuser continued communications with Mr. Brown throughout 2018, and even asked Mr. Brown for
tickets to a Pittsburgh Steelers football game in the winter of 2018.
Mr. Brown's accuser has continually posted photographs of Mr. Brown on her social media in an effort to
financially benefit from his celebrity. Mr. Brown, whose hard work and dedication to his craft has allowed
him to rise to the top of his profession, refuses to be the victim of what he believes to be a money grab.
In May 2018, Mr. Brown's accuser invited herself to join Mr. Brown and his friends, who were patrons at
Miami adult entertainment clubs. After several hours of partying, Mr. Brown and his friends called it a
night.
Instead of leaving by herself, as she had arrived, and returning to her hotel, Mr. Brown's accuser solicited
Mr. Brown to join her and return to Mr. Brown's residence where the two engaged in consensual sex.
Again, Mr. Brown denies all of the accuser's allegations.
