NEW YORK, NY. (THECOUNT) — We are now learning that New England Patriots, Antonio Brown was not at all surprised by the by a civil lawsuit filed against him by his trainer, Britney Taylor.

But as the world turns, Brown and Taylor’s representatives were in discussions for the past few months, but agreed that their communication would remain confidential, up until Taylor’s civil lawsuit filing, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
Jeremy Fowler via Twitter:
“@JFowlerESPN Sources: Antonio Brown and Britney Taylor reps were in confidential talks for months; Pats unaware unless that confidentiality breached”
Representatives for Patriots wide receiver Antonio Brown and Britney Taylor, his former trainer, were in confidential discussions before the filing of Taylor’s civil sexual assault lawsuit, reports 12up.
This would explain the reason the allegations by Taylor came out of the blue. As for the Patriots and Oakland Raiders, neither team would have known about the allegations unless confidentiality was breached between Brown and Taylor’s parties. So safe to say the teams were blindsided.
Fowler stresses that no specifics surrounding the negotiations were revealed, and that communication prior to a civil lawsuit filing are commonplace.
Details have emerge of the lawsuit including emails and reports that Taylor had taken a lie detector to help prove that Brown did indeed commit the hideous acts the lawsuit claims, reports DailySnark.
But one particular detail that emerge that tells a sort of different story was a video showing both Taylor and Brown having a more friendlier relationship which included cuddling and a more consensual relationship:
TheHollywoodUnlcked.com had obtained video of Brown and his accuser not only hanging out recently, but doing so in a very intimate manner.

The woman accusing Antonio Brown of rape claims she passed a polygraph test following the alleged incidents.
Taylor, 28, claims she went to “one of the nation’s leading examiners, who previously led the FBI’s polygraph program” and was asked about TWO incidents of sexual assault allegedly carried out by Brown, reports TMZ.
In the lawsuit, filed Tuesday in federal court in Florida, Taylor claims the polygraph confirmed “completely truthful account.”
Widely used polygraph tests are not considered scientifically valid for evidentiary purposes and most courts will not admit them as evidence, reports TMZ.
The New England Patriots organisation has released the following statement regarding recent rape allegations made against their newest WR, Antonio Brown.
The team, in part, says it doesn’t “condone sexual violence or assault” but is waiting until the league’s investigation is complete. Britney Taylor, 28, spoke out via her attorney to say she had decided to come forward to take a stand against Brown.
“We are aware of the civil lawsuit that was filed earlier today against Antonio Brown, as well as the response by Antonio’s representatives,” the team’s statement said. “We take these allegations very seriously. Under no circumstance does this organization condone sexual violence or assault. The league has informed us that they will be investigating. We will have no further comment while that investigation takes place.”
