More drama and legal problems for Antonio Brown.
The former NFL player is back under police radar as he is a wanted man… yet again. This time cops want to arrest him over unpaid child support!
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, the arrest order was issued by a Miami-Dade County, Fla. judge on April 14 after Brown allegedly missed payments that he had been required to make to his ex, Wiltrice Jackson. Now, once he’s in police custody and pays $30,000, he will be released. Per the outlet, the Florida judge ruled that the money he pays will be applied to his unpaid child support.
More On Antonio Brown’s Troubling Past
Brown and Jackson dated during the former Pittsburgh Steelers star’s early football playing days — and had a precious daughter together. But their relationship went downhill as Brown was accused of shoving her during a domestic dispute in 2019. Despite that, he was never charged over the claim.
That same year, Brown, who was newly signed to be a New England Patriots player was accused of rape and sexual assault by his former personal trainer in a federal lawsuit filed in Florida, a claim the athlete previously denied in a statement issued by his lawyer. The a civil lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Southern Florida stated that the trainer, Britney Taylor, said Brown raped her at his Miami home in May 2018. That incident followed one in June 2017, when he allegedly forcibly kissed and sexually assaulted her at his Pittsburgh-area home.
Although he denied any wrongdoing, Brown settled the civil dispute in 2021. “Recently, they were involved in aggressive litigation,” read the statement. “Having reflected on their relationship, both feel that the time has come to move on. … The dispute is resolved and they wish each other great continued success,” David Haas, attorney for Taylor, previously said in a statement.
Just last year, a warrant was issued after he was accused of battery and domestic assault… again. However, the woman, who was not injured in the incident, later asked that the charges against Brown be dropped… and so it was withdrawn.
“Following a complete review of all the available evidence, the State Attorney’s Office determined no charges will be filed as a result of an incident involving Antonio Brown that took place on November 28, 2022,” a release from the State Attorney’s Office read at the time, via WFLA.
Despite all of that, his legal problems didn’t end there. Earlier this year, the ex pro footballer was hit with $1.1 million dollar lawsuit by a celeb jeweler. As we previously reported, Shuki International claimed they gave Brown several pieces of jewelry back in 2022, under the promise that AB would pay him $1,095,000 for it all. However, they claim he never did.
Brown has not yet spoken out on reports regarding being a wanted man for unpaid child support.
