Antonio Brown’s Bizarre Social Media Antics Continue
Brown has had quite the run on social media lately, and even though his football career is in the rearview mirror, he clearly still wants the spotlight to remain on him and his behavior.
It doesn’t seem as if Antonio Brown will ever beat the CTE (chronic traumatic encephalitis) allegations. After posting a cartoon image of himself and Taylor Swift kissing, re-engaging in his one-sided beef with retired NFL quarterback Tom Brady by posting a picture of himself embracing Brady’s ex-wife Gisele Bündchen and claiming that he knew the pair were on the outs, the wide receiver posted a picture on Twitter/X insinuating that LeBron James had a threesome involving Los Angeles Lakers executive Jeannie Buss, and a collection of photos that appear to show President Joe Biden sniffing the hair of various girls and women. He also is reportedly refusing to comply with a court order to pay a jeweler for diamond-studded finger covers.
Brown appears to be playing up his self-diagnosis of CTE as many of his recent controversial posts contain the hashtag #CTESPN.
The 35-year-old Brown, as Complex reports, has also claimed himself that he suffers from CTE, which he bizarrely used to justify a woman in a September 2023 video licking him.
Brown has had quite the week on social media, and even though his football career is in the rearview mirror, he clearly still wants the spotlight to remain on him and his antics.
Brown’s AI-generated cartoon image of Swift is relatively benign in comparison to the sexually explicit AI images of Swift that made their way around Twitter/X earlier in the year. In response to the image, Twitter/X has now restricted Brown’s post, but it had already been reposted and quoted nearly 4,000 times and generated 10.1 million views. Deepfake images are images of famous people engaging in behavior that fits the fantasies of the creators of those artificially generated images, which can often appear to be real. Deepfake sexually explicit content, such as that targeting Swift earlier this year, is such a pervasive problem that as Wired reports, Google has received complaints concerning approximately 30,000 URLs.
LeBron James, who was out of action when the Lakers played the Milwaukee Bucks on March 9, sat between Jeannie Buss and Linda Rambis. At one point, Buss laid her head on James’s shoulder, which lead some to speculate that she was flirting with James, a viewpoint that Brown seemed to agree with. Brown posted a photoshopped image of James in bed between two white women, with the caption “He Got Game 2.”
And, Brown set his sights on Bündchen, who recently confirmed rumors that she was dating Joaquim Valente. Brown, seemingly responding to this, posted a picture of himself and Bündchen embracing following the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Super Bowl win in 2021 with the caption “Did AB know Already” followed by a winking emoji, suggesting that he had an understanding of Bündchen and Brady’s impending divorce after Brady initially retired and then unretired to play football for one more season, a choice which reportedly cost him his marriage to Bündchen.
Brown continued his social media antics by appearing to nominate himself for president before taking aim at both Joe Biden and Donald Trump with memes and photos. Even though he also targeted Trump, his criticism of Biden, whom he referred to as “Cracker of the Day,” created buzz online because he shared photos that appeared to show the president sniffing the hair of girls and women. Brown also tagged President Biden in the post. On top of this, Brown jabbed at Biden for mispronouncing the name of Laken Riley, a college student who was killed by an illegal immigrant. Biden called her Lincoln Riley during his State of The Union Address, seemingly confused Laken Riley’s name with that of USC head coach Lincoln Riley.
