Less than a week after being accused of raping former trainer Britney Taylor, Patriots receiver Antonio Brown is facing down a second incident of sexual misconduct.
Per Sports Illustrated's Robert Klemko, Brown's checkered history stretches beyond Taylor. While both Brown and Brown's agent Drew Rosenhaus declined to comment, SI has uncovered a half-dozen lawsuits levied at Brown, ranging from a refusal to pay wages to former employees to this newer sexual misconduct allegation.
SI reports that Brown hosted a charity event in 2017, with one of the items up for auction being a painting of Brown. Brown liked the painting so much he purchased it on the spot and also invited its artist, the anonymous female source, to his house to paint a mural for him. Brown offered her $1,000 per day and also promoted her work via his social media channels.
On Day 2, however, things turned sour.
“He was flirty with me but I paid him no mind because I was there on business, plus, I had already seen him with multiple girls in the short time I was with him,” the woman told SI. “I was about 40 percent done on the second day, and I’m on my knees painting the bottom, and he walks up to me butt-ass naked, with a hand cloth covering his [penis] and starts having a conversation with me ... 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 left for Miami the following day, paying her $2,000 for her two days of work but leaving her hanging on more promised work, according to SI. She is not pursuing charges in this incident, though she says she was bothered by Brown's actions.
