Who is Antonio Brown? Former NFL star wanted in Miami-Dade County on attempted murder charge
Former National Football League (NFL) star Antonio Brown is wanted by authorities in Miami-Dade County on a charge of attempted murder with a firearm.
According to the warrant reviewed by The Washington Post, charges against Brown stem from his alleged involvement at a celebrity boxing event in Miami last month.
The warrant, signed on Wednesday, June 11, sets Brown's bond at $10,000 and includes a condition that he must remain under house arrest until his trial.
The now-wanted footballer was a top wide receiver in the NFL before his erratic behavior led to a turbulent exit from the league, as per Reuters.
During his career, Brown earned first-team All-Pro honors four times, making seven Pro Bowl appearances with the Pittsburgh Steelers from 2010 to 2018. Though traded to the then-Oakland Raiders, he never played a game for them.
Antonio Brown later had brief stints with the New England Patriots (1 game in 2019) and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (15 games from 2020 to 2021), where he ended his career.
Brown caught 928 passes for 12,291 yards and 83 touchdowns in 146 games. He led the league in catches twice, receiving yards twice and touchdown receptions once.
Besides making headlines for multiple arrests, Antonio Brown found himself in the spotlight in October 2024, just ahead of the US Presidential elections.
In October 2024, following his speech at a Donald Trump rally, Brown was spotted in Pittsburgh outside the stadium he used to call home with the Steelers, passing out "Trump Vance" yellow and black towels to fans before 'Sunday Night Football,' reported Fox News.

He even wore a black hat that had Trump's signature "Make America Great Again" slogan across it, during the rally.
The former NFL star was briefly detained by police after gunshots were fired during a boxing event in Miami's Little Haiti neighborhood on May 16. In videos posted to social media, the former NFL wide receiver was seen involved in a physical altercation with several individuals.

'This fall will be completely different': Taylor Swift's new routine fuels Travis Kelce retirement rumors
Taylor Swift is expected to have a more prominent presence at Kansas City Chiefs games (Getty Images) As the 2025 NFL season approaches, all eyes are on Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce—and not just for what he brings on the field. This year could mark a turning point in both his professional career and his personal life, with girlfriend Taylor Swift expected to play a much bigger role on the sidelines than ever before. With no tour in sight, Taylor Swift plans to support Travis Kelce at games more regularly Unlike previous years, when Taylor Swift had to juggle sold-out shows across the globe, the pop superstar's 2025 calendar is unusually wide open. This means she may finally get the chance to fully embrace her role as Travis Kelce's biggest cheerleader. 'Taylor is really looking forward to the upcoming NFL season. Not just because she loves supporting Travis, but because for the first full season since they started dating, she's not juggling a packed tour schedule,' a source told PEOPLE. 'This fall will be completely different. It's the first season where she's not constantly flying back and forth or working around an entire touring calendar.' The timing couldn't be more perfect. Kelce, 35, is rumored to be considering retirement after the 2025 season, making this potentially his last run with the Chiefs. And having Swift by his side—consistently—could make this final chapter all the more meaningful. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Could this season become Travis Kelce's fairytale farewell? Kelce's bond with Swift has captured the imagination of NFL fans and Swifties alike. Her presence at games last season sparked viral moments, boosted jersey sales, and even brought new demographics into the world of football. But this fall, her involvement might go deeper than celebrity cameos. With Swift attending more games and enjoying a less chaotic schedule, the couple could experience a level of normalcy they've never had before. For Chiefs fans, this adds an emotional layer to what may already be a farewell season for one of the franchise's all-time greats.

OnlyFans creator Gabriella Zuniga sparks controversy by selling s*x tape amid ongoing $50M lawsuit against Shannon Sharpe
Gabriella Zuniga is now offering a s*x tape to subscribers, intensifying the legal battle with Shannon Sharpe (Images via Instagram and Getty Images) The legal battle between former NFL star Shannon Sharpe and OnlyFans creator Gabriella Zuniga has taken an even more sensational turn. Zuniga, also known online as "Karli," is now offering a s*x tape to subscribers who tip over $2,000—despite being in the midst of a $50 million lawsuit against Sharpe, which includes serious allegations of sexual assault, emotional abuse, and coercion. Gabriella Zuniga's explicit content offer raises public and legal questions At just 21 years old, Gabriella Zuniga's decision to promote adult content while pursuing a high-profile legal case has ignited a firestorm of debate online. Critics argue her move could damage her credibility and shift public perception of the lawsuit. Supporters counter that she's continuing her career as an adult content creator, independent of the case at hand. Notably, Zuniga has not confirmed whether the tape involves Sharpe, a point that adds ambiguity and intrigue to an already explosive case. Given the legal implications, it seems unlikely she would directly tie the content to the former athlete, though the timing of her announcement has undeniably complicated the narrative. Legal teams release conflicting evidence in heated court battle Represented by high-profile attorney Tony Buzbee—known for taking on Deshaun Watson and Sean 'Diddy' Combs—Zuniga alleges a disturbing pattern of manipulation by Sharpe. This includes claims of non-consensual recordings and threats of violence. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Buzbee released audio recordings in which Sharpe allegedly states he would "choke" her, painting a picture of abuse behind the scenes. Sharpe, 56, has firmly denied all allegations through his lawyer, Lanny Davis, calling the lawsuit 'an extortion attempt.' In response, Davis released explicit messages that appear to show a consensual relationship between the two. One message reportedly even features Zuniga expressing a desire to have Sharpe's child. According to court documents, the two met at a Los Angeles gym in 2023, when Zuniga was just 19. She claims their relationship evolved from flirtation to deep emotional and psychological distress. Career fallout and postponed projects for Shannon Sharpe The scandal has already had serious career repercussions for Sharpe. Once on the brink of signing a $100 million media deal, the NFL Hall of Famer has since stepped away from First Take and postponed his Nightcap podcast tour with co-host Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson. 'We've decided to postpone the Nightcap tour,' Sharpe stated. 'We look forward to seeing you guys in the summer of 2026. It's going to be even bigger, even better.'

Falcons rookie Cobee Bryant gifts himself $100,000 worth bling piece
Atlanta Falcons rookie Cobee Bryant rocked an insane piece of diamond jewellery in a video. The video shows the defensive back wearing the custom-made 'HawkMamba' chain, which features half of his face and half of a hawk's face. The glow-in-the-dark bling piece is said to be worth over $100,000. 'Insane: Falcons rookie DB Cobee Bryant shows off his new custom 'HawkMamba' glow-in-the-dark chain worth over 100 THOUSAND dollars,' NFL insider Dov Kleiman reported through a post on X. According to Kleiman, the custom-made jewellery piece is a gift from the former Kansas Jayhawks star for signing a bumper three-year deal with the Falcons worth $3 million after going undrafted in the 2025 NFL Draft. 'A gift to himself after going undrafted and then signing a rookie 3-Year $3M contract with Atlanta. The chain is half his face and half a hawk,' the report added. After signing for the Falcons in undrafted free agency, Bryant is said to be impressing the coaching staff a lot. Head coach Raheem Morris has described Bryant as a "standout" and a "discovery." Before getting into the NFL, Cobee Bryant appeared for the Kansas Jayhawks in 47 games during his college football career. During that time, he logged 128 tackles as a defensive back, 107 of which were solo efforts. He also raked up 11 tackles for a loss, 1.5 sacks and 13 interceptions. The impressive DB also defended 22 passes and scored two pick-sixes. Bryant was the first Jayhawk in Big 12 history to be named First Team All-Big 12 in three straight seasons. His defensive record also shows two fumble recoveries, three forced fumbles and one fumble recovery for a touchdown. Cobee Bryant has been a standout during his college career, and Raheem Morris hopes that form translates into performance in the NFL as well.
