Antonio Brown responds to arrest rumors following alleged shooting at Adin Ross' event
Antonio Brown responds to arrest rumors following alleged shooting at Adin Ross' event Former Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown has just responded to the recent controversy surrounding a physical altercation he was involved in on Friday at Adin Ross' Brand Risk Promotions boxing event. Brown's appearance went viral for all the wrong reasons — as videos circulating on social media appeared to show the former receiver fending off several attackers, who were apparently after his chain — and Brown allegedly fired a firearm into the air in self-defense. Other videos appeared to show him being arrested by police after the event, but Brown took to social media to clear his name on Saturday. Here is what he had to say: "Regarding the boxing event that happened last night, I was jumped by multiple individuals who tried to steal my jewelry and cause physical harm to me. Contrary to some video circulating, police temporarily detained me until they received my side of the story and then released me. I WENT HOME THAT NIGHT AND WAS NOT ARRESTED. I will be talking to my legal council and attorneys on pressing charges on the individuals that jumped me. I will keep you all posted step-by-step on the process. Thank you for the support and love." His comments on being detained rather than arrested are seemingly supported by his appearance on Adin Ross' podcast shortly after the incident, where he joked that CTE was to blame for him blacking out. Here at Steelers Wire, we will keep you all updated as Brown navigates the legality of the incident.

Former NFL receiver Antonio Brown targeted in apparent robbery attempt at Miami boxing event
Former NFL receiver Antonio Brown was involved in a brawl during a boxing event in Miami in which it appeared that he was the target of a robbery attempt. Several bystanders recorded video of the incident in which someone allegedly tried to steal jewelry Brown was wearing around his neck, then joined a group of people in attacking him. Advertisement "I was jumped by multiple individuals who tried to steal my jewelry and cause physical harm to me," Brown posted on social media. Though Brown is seen being handcuffed by local police, he says he was only being detained to provide his account of what happened and was then released, not arrested. "I WENT HOME THAT NIGHT AND WAS NOT ARRESTED," Brown added. "I will be talking to my legal council and attorneys on pressing charges on the individuals that jumped me." Some witnesses allege that Brown pulled out a handgun after being attacked and apparent shots can be heard being fired in the melee surrounding the episode. Brown can be seen kicking a man in video clips, who was later identified as security personnel who was trying to protect him. Advertisement After being questioned by police, Brown returned to the event, which was being promoted by streaming celebrity Adin Ross and his Brand Risk Promotions. Brown can be seen on Ross' live stream following the incident and was asked if he wanted to do "story time," but walked away from the camera. Brown later said on the stream that "nothing happened" and that he "blacked out," making a joke about suffering from CTE sustained during his football career. A seven-time Pro Bowler and four-time first-team All-Pro selection, Brown has not played in the NFL since 2021. Yet the 12-year NFL veteran has stayed in the public eye due to many off-field controversies, of which this is the latest.

Former Steelers wide receiver arrested at Adin Ross' boxing event
Antonio Brown was arrested on Friday night after shots were allegedly fired following a physical altercation at Adin Ross' Brand Risk Promotions boxing event. According to reports, Brown was confronted by several men who attempted to snatch the chain off his neck — which prompted the former Steelers receiver to allegedly fire his firearm into the air in self-defense. Advertisement Videos of the altercation and Brown's subsequent arrest quickly began circulating on social media — as well as his appearance on Ross' podcast shortly after. Following the chaotic situation, Brown would seemingly blame his CTE for the incident: "Yeah, I got CTE — I blacked out. I blacked out, Adin." The room burst out in laughter after his comments, but this isn't the first time Brown's mental health has been the topic of conversation. It is unknown whether Brown was simply detained following the incident, and it also remains to be seen if anything more legal will come of the situation — but we at Steelers Wire will keep you updated as more information becomes available.
