Second Antonio Brown Accuser Comes Forward Monday

MIAMI, FL. (THECOUNT) — A report of sexual misconduct from a second incident has now surfaced against newly minted New England Patriots wide receiver, Antonio Brown on Monday.

According to Robert Klemko of SI.com,

“In a half-dozen lawsuits, he is accused of refusal to pay wages to former assistants and part-time employees. Court documents and interviews also suggest a pattern of disturbing, sometimes bizarre behavior—including, SI has learned, a second woman’s allegations of sexual misconduct by Brown.”

Sports illustrated did not hold back in an article about Brown Monday morning saying the controversial NFL player has an extensive criminal record and a long list of “unpaid debts,” according to the sporting magazine.

The SI accusations range from sexual misconduct, a charity auction theft, multiple domestic incidents, and a long list of unpaid debts.

When Brown agreed to a one-year contract with the Patriots a little more than 24 hours before the first Sunday of the NFL season, it was supposed to be the end of the soap opera. A drama-filled summer with the Raiders had culminated in his release; now, he was joining the league’s model franchise. The distractions were sure to fade away under Bill Belichick, and the legendary head coach was sure to dismiss any that didn’t. Tom Brady was “a million percent in” on Brown joining the team, and even offered to put the receiver up in his home while he looked for a new one, according to a story relayed by Sunday Night Football play-by-play man Al Michaels. Brown’s arrival in Foxboro was going to, finally, make it all about football again, writes SI.

That illusion didn’t last long. Brown’s first full week as a Patriot included a civil lawsuit filed against him by former trainer Britney Taylor, who alleged that she was the victim of several instances of sexual assault by Brown, including one in which Brown “forcibly raped” her at his residence in 2018. Taylor’s accusations are the most serious to be levied against Brown, but, as Sports Illustrated has learned, they are far from the only ones.

SI says they conducted interviews with more than two dozen people who have employed, worked for, coached, or played alongside Brown—some who have taken legal action against him, and others who have not—and reviewed police and court documents from jurisdictions ranging from Miami to Pittsburgh to Oakland.

In a half-dozen lawsuits, he is accused of refusal to pay wages to former assistants and part-time employees. Court documents and interviews also suggest a pattern of disturbing, sometimes bizarre behavior—including, SI has learned, a second woman’s allegations of sexual misconduct by Brown. (Neither Brown’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, nor his lawyer, Darren Heitner, responded to SI’s emailed list of questions, seeking Brown’s responses to each of the accusations within this story.)

We are now learning that Brown was not at all surprised by the by a civil lawsuit filed against him by his trainer, Britney Taylor.

In the suit, Taylor accuses the almost Oakland Raiders Wide Receiver of sexual assault and rape on three separate occasions.

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.”

Disturbing text messages were revealed late Tuesday showing Patriots Antonio Brown‘s behavior toward his former trainer. The trainer has accused the wide receiver of rape.

A federal lawsuit filed in south Florida accuses the new, New England Patriot, (and almost Oakland Raider,) of rape.

Ben Shpigel via Twitter:

“@benshpigel BREAKING: Patriots WR Antonio Brown accused of three separate incidents of sexual assault and rape, according to federal lawsuit filed Tuesday”

The lawsuit says that Brown sexually assaulted and forced himself on a woman he met while they were attending Central Michigan together and whom he later hired as a trainer. The New York Times reports the incidents happened on three separate occasions between 2017 and 2018, reports PIX11.
