Antonio Brown’s Agent Releases Statement On WR Rape Allegations

Antonio Brown faces one of the biggest challenges in life. His problems with the Oakland Raiders were followed by a deal with the New England Patriots. But, his luck didn’t last too long. His former trainer, Britney Taylor, has filed a civil lawsuit, accusing him of sexual assault and rape. Brown denied the accusations through his lawyer, and his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, agrees on that one.

“Antonio and I have been unfortunately anticipating this possibility,” Rosenhaus said Wednesday afternoon on SportsCenter. “What I want to emphasize is Antonio takes these allegations very seriously. … I wouldn’t be doing this interview if I didn’t believe Antonio. These allegations are false. He denies every one of them.”

Rosenhaus revealed he hasn’t yet spoken with the league, but he has talked with the NFL Players’ Association. The NFLPA has been in contact with the NFL. “What I want to emphasize to everyone is please allow the situation to play out. Antonio will cooperate… In time, Antonio will be cleared. These allegations in the lawsuit are false. They are not true. They are absolutely untrue. In no way do we condone any type of illegal conduct or misbehavior. None of that happened here. This is a money grab. I’ll repeat that: This is a money grab.”

When asked about Brown and the Patriots, Rosenhaus said, “I’m not going to get into that element. I’m not going to get into my discussions with the Patriots and what may or may not have been discussed.”

The team has made a statement on Brown’s situation. The NFL is expected to open an investigation, and Brown may be forced to leave the field before even getting a chance to play his first game with the Patriots.

“We are aware of the civil lawsuit that was filed earlier today against Antonio Brown, as well as the response by Antonio’s representatives. We take these allegations very seriously. Under no circumstance does this organization condone sexual violence or assault. The league has informed us that they will be investigating. We will have no further comment while that investigation takes place.”

Let’s see what happens Sunday.
