Antonio Brown Stories Continue, Now Accused of Rape by Former Trainer

On Tuesday, the Antonio Brown drama continued. A former trainer has accused Brown of rape from incidents in 2017 & 2018.

The lawsuit says that Brown — in three separate incidents, two in June 2017 and another in May 2018 — sexually assaulted a woman named Britney Taylor, a gymnast whom he met while they were attending Central Michigan together and whom he later hired as a trainer.

The lawsuit was filed one day after Brown, 31, became a Patriot following a brief, turbulent tenure with the Oakland Raiders that ended when he requested his release last week. Late Tuesday night, the Patriots issued a statement saying that the N.F.L. planned to do its own investigation of the accusations against Brown.

Every day we have a new AB story & it just seems to never end. I’m sure if this has legs, the Patriots will cut their losses & release Brown before he plays a down for New England.
