Antonio Brown Net Worth: How Rich Is The Controversial Former NFL Wide Receiver?
Former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown's Snapchat account was suspended after he reportedly shared a sexually explicit image of his children's mother.
The suspension comes after the victim, named Chelsie Kyriss, spoke out against Snapchat for allowing him to post the crude content, prompting public anger and calls for Brown's accountability for posting the graphic image.
"I have reported his page and all pictures," Kyriss wrote in her Instagram story, according to the New York Post. "Unfortunately Snapchat is allowing him to repost. I am very sorry for any of your kids that follow him and used to look at him as a role model."
"I do not condone these actions as you are aware I have kids in involved as well," she further added.
The image in question, which allegedly depicted Kyriss performing oral sex on Brown in bed, circulated widely online early Tuesday morning, TMZ reported.
The post has since been deleted, and a Snapchat spokesperson told the outlet the incident is under investigation.
Notably, the platform laid down strict Community Guidelines that "prohibit sexually explicit content and bullying or harassment of any kind."
Brown, 34, boasts an illustrious career, playing for notable teams such as the Pittsburgh Steelers, New England Patriots, the Oakland Raiders, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He amassed enormous wealth throughout his stint, and is approximately worth $20 million, with a last recorded base salary of $3.1 million. Brown's total NFL career earnings came up to $77 million, Net Worth Talks reported.
The former NFL wide receiver is no stranger to controversies. In 2022 alone, he caught the media spotlight thrice for all the wrong reasons, including ripping off his jersey in the middle of an NFL match, publicly humiliating R&B singer Keyshia Cole, and flashing a woman during his stay at the Armani Hotel Dubai -- an incident which was caught on camera.
Just over a month ago, Brown and Kyriss were embroiled in a domestic dispute, during which he allegedly threatened to evict her from his Florida house and threw a shoe at her, which "struck her in the ponytail."
"The victim had no injuries but believed the shoe was meant for her head," the police said in a statement.
At that time, the Hillsborough County State Attorney's Office issued an arrest warrant for Brown over domestic battery charges, which was later dropped over the non-availability of any definitive evidence.
Kyriss and Brown reportedly had an on-again-off-again relationship from 2012, and called it quits in 2020 with the former seeking full legal custody of their three children.
