Antonio Brown has been accessed of sexually assaulting his former trainer, according to ESPN . A lawsuit was filed Tuesday in the Southern District of Florida. ESPN reports that the lawsuit accuses the NFL receiver of sexually assaulting his former trainer, Britney Taylor, on three separate occasions from 2017 and 2018. The first alleged incident came in June 2017, with Taylor saying Brown exposed himself and kissed her without consent. A month later, Taylor alleges in the lawsuit, Brown masturbated near her without her knowledge and ejaculated on her back, then later bragged about it in a series of text messages. And then, in May 2018, Taylor alleges that Brown “forced her down onto a bed, pushed her face into the mattress, and forcibly raped her.” Brown’s lawyer said that his client and Taylor were involved in a “consensual personal relationship. Any sexual interaction with Mr. Brown was entirely consensual.” Source: Christian Petersen / Getty The lawsuit claims the incidents have left Taylor suffering “near-daily panic attacks and suicidal ideations.” “As a rape victim of Antonio Brown, deciding to speak out has been an incredibly difficult decision,” Taylor said in a statement. “I have found strength in my faith, my family, and from the accounts of other survivors of sexual assault.” The allegation comes after weeks of drama surrounding the All-Pro receiver, which eventually led to his release from the Raiders, and eventual signing with the New England Patriots Monday. There was no immediate comment from the Patriots or the NFL. Source: ESPN Related: Jig Alert: Antonio Brown Signs With The New England Patriots
Source: SplashNews / Splash News Kim Kardashian & Kanye West Purchase An Entire City In Wyoming In a recent interview for Vogue Arabia conducted by her hubby Kanye West , Kim Kardashian described her life in 10 years as living on a ranch with their four kids running around enjoying themselves. Lo and behold, before the magazine even gets into circulation, Kanye made sure that dream became a reality. According to reports from TMZ , the couple purchased a massive property in Wyoming just outside of the city Cody . The property is known as the ‘Monster Lake Ranch’ and was sitting on the market at a whopping $14 million. The Ranch itself has 8 lodging units and is known for “monster trout” fishing. It has two freshwater lakes, a restaurant, an event center, and meeting facilities. There are lots of barns, corrals, and horses–in fact, Cody is known as the “rodeo capital of the world.” The publication states that the famous couple reportedly worked out some sort of a deal for the small city and didn’t end up forking over the entire $14 million, but the final price is unknown. Last year, Kanye & company pumped out several albums while working in Wyoming, and West even ended up hosted his listening session in Jackson Hole. That’s when the whole family reportedly fell in love with the area and decided they might wanna stick around. They secured 4500 of the 9000 acres available, while the rest of the land is leased from the federal government. Word on the street is that Ye has already begun recording on the new property and several close friends and team members–including Pusha T– have already visited . With a new album due out at the end of the month, we should have a more detailed look at the property soon. View this post on Instagram I ain't mad at this ATV thing. Work and play is definitely one in the same at this point in my life. I give thanks!

Source: Icon Sportswire / Getty Antonio Brown Signs With New England Patriots For One Year – $15 Million All of the absolutely insane stories and headlines surrounding Antonio Brown this week seem like a really well-scripted episode of HBO’s Ballers . Earlier this week, we reported that the turmoil was at an all-time high within the NFL, mainly between Antonio Brown and his now-former team, The Raiders. At the top of the week, AB was fined for missing two team practices, but that was just the beginning of the drama that later ensued. A few days after he came to social media complaining about his fines, Brown was punting footballs and threatening to punch his coach, who he then end up calling a “cracker .” The very next day, we got the most epic fake Nike commercial completely written, directed, and acted out by Antonio Brown himself. Not even 24 hours later, AB lost his $30 million dollar contract and got dropped from his team . Seems like this whole rollercoaster of a week would be a nightmare for any player, right? Apparently, that couldn’t be further from the truth. According to NFL.com, Antonio Brown is now signing with the New England Patriots and still securing his bag. GET YOUR MONEY, BLACK MAN! His new deal is for o ne year, $15 million total with $9 million as a sign-on bonus. If anyone saw this one coming, we’re gonna need you to give up the lottery numbers for next week.

Source: Christian Petersen / Getty Antonio Brown Allegedly Called Raiders GM A “Cracker” Antonio Brown turned the Oakland Raider upside down yesterday after news broke that he had gotten into an explosive, damn-near-physical confrontation with general manager Mike Mayock where the mercurial baller called him a “cracker” according to ESPN’s Josina Anderson according to TMZ . Early reports stated that the Raiders were planning to suspend Brown in a move that might have cost him $30 million, but that isn’t going to happen now. A new ESPN report now states that Brown offered an “emotional apology” to his franchise at this morning’s team meeting. For his part, Brown tells Dianna Russini that he never used the “racial slur”. Antonio Brown told me there was never a scuffle at practice. He said he did not use the word “cracker” and would never use that word…Everything has been blown out of proportion” “I spoke with Mike Mayock 1-on-1, man-to-man.” #Raiders — Dianna (@diannaESPN) September 6, 2019 Brown spoke to the media today about the s#!t storm he caused over the past 24 hours. #Raiders WR Antonio Brown “I’m excited to be out here with my team. I apologized to my teammates. Enough talk.” @nflnetwork pic.twitter.com/N6otdQx9FT — MJ Acosta (@MJAcostaTV) September 6, 2019 Raiders head coach Jon Gruden says Antonio Brown will be playing Monday night against the Denver Broncos. Just so we’re clear, we 1000% believe Antonio Brown called that man a “cracker”. He can deny it all he wants.

Source: Andy Kropa / Getty Jay-Z & NFL Get Slammed For Donating To An Organization That Allegedly Supports Trump, Cuts Dreadlocks & Loves The Cops *Sigh* Jiggaaaa, my nicckkaaa. Jay-Z and Roc Nation continue to find themselves in a deeper hole when it comes to their politics. Recently, the group announced that they would be partnering with the NFL as part of their Inspire Change initiative to donate $400,000 to two Chicago charities — the Better Boys Foundation Family Services organization and the Crushers Club. Well, surprise, surprise… Folks did some digging into one of the organizations, and it seems they don’t fully ride for Black people despite their surface-level charities. Twitter user @RzstProgramming brought up AAALL the receipts. They dug up old tweets and social media posts from Crushers Club and it was revealed that… 1. They have a history of gleefully cutting off Black boys’ dreadlocks. 2. They support Donald Trump helping Chicago with gun violence. 3. They believe “All Lives Matter.” 4. They practically fawn over the Chicago Police Department. *Sigh.* It seems most of the smoke is aimed at Crushers Club president Sally Hazelgrove who, according to now deleted tweets, said things like: “And another Crusher let me cut his dreads off! It’s symbolic of change and their desire for a better life!” “And another Crusher let me cut his dreads off! It's symbolic of change and their desire for a better life!” – Crusher Club President Sally Hazelgrove https://t.co/BgaYA2Ef6R — Resist Programming (@RzstProgramming) September 5, 2019 Ms. Sally also reportedly praised a kid’s Jr. Chicago Police Department status: “Our Jr CPD they cant wait to arrest someone! Especially hearing they can start making 70k as a cop!” The Crusher Club also encourages youth to grow up and incarcerate others to earn a living. “Our Jr CPD they cant wait to arrest someone! Especially hearing they can start making 70k as a cop!” https://t.co/clpwx8aDrA — Resist Programming (@RzstProgramming) September 5, 2019 The org ALSO reportedly said: “We need Trump to help us. Sad to say we need a curfew while we address our current crisis of gun violence.” Crusher Club said Trump is the answer for Chicago’s gang violence and called for a city curfew. “We need Trump to help us. Sad to say we need a curfew while we address our current crisis of gun violence.” https://t.co/wtWhiCKyIZ — Resist Programming (@RzstProgramming) September 5, 2019 Lawd, help us. At one point, when someone tried to point out on Facebook that Sally’s locs-cutting rituals were problematic, she responded with “I don’t see race.” Back to the hair cutting, on Facebook, Stephen Styles attempted to explain to Crusher Club President Sally Hardgrove how problematic the practice is. Sally responded, “I don’t see race” and says she will be more careful with comments, but doesn’t agree to stop cutting dreads. pic.twitter.com/NIgY0vET5W — Resist Programming (@RzstProgramming) September 5, 2019 Come on Jigga!! Sally tried to defend her hair-cutting proclivities in a statement to FADER , saying: “The Crusher’s Club does not have any policies prohibiting dreadlocks — we welcome all hairstyles from our youth. On occasion, our kids look to change their hairstyles and ask us to assist, especially since haircuts can be a costly expense for them. Our goal is — and will always be — to equip our youth with the resources to improve their neighborhoods, maximize their potential and develop into the leaders of tomorrow.” Okay Sally. AND they probably give the children some janky shape-ups! Anyway, hit the flip for more of Crushers Club’s alleged cop-loving, dreads-chopping, “All Lives Matter” history.

Amber Portwood's relationship with Andrew Glennon ended in horrific fashion back in July. Like, there was an arrest and a no contact order and everything. There's a custody battle going on for their son, James, and Amber's criminal case isn't done yet, so there's still a lot going on. But now, Andrew is giving a little more insight into what happened leading up to their breakup. And it's real, real ugly … 1. What a Nightmare Can you believe that it’s barely been two years since Andrew Glennon first made the gigantic, life-altering mistake of getting with Amber Portwood? 2. A Real Roller Coaster A whole lot has happened in those two years — she got pregnant right away, so they welcomed their son, James, in May of last year, and there was some talk of getting married and possibly even moving to Andrew’s hometown of Malibu. 3. Here We Go But of course all those plans changed back in July when Amber allegedly assaulted Andrew … while he was holding James. 4. Ugh The whole dumb thing began because Amber got mad when traffic kept them from going to see some fireworks on the Fourth of July, and instead of finding another route or another place to watch fireworks or literally anything else, she decided to beat Andrew with a shoe. 5. Gross She admitted to that part, although she treated it like no big deal. Meanwhile, police apparently have photos of bruises and scratches on Andrew’s neck and shoulder from that beating. 6. Good Move After that, Andrew decided to leave Amber alone for a while. He said that he took James and they drove around for a few hours, but when they came home, she was still furious. View Slideshow
Though beloved Dog’s Most Wanted star Beth Chapman passed away this summer, she still appears on TV alongside her husband. As viewers saw in the season premiere, Beth’s strong personality had not waned in the slightest even in her final weeks and months. Even when she and Duane came into conflict, they quickly and affectionately found a resolution. In that way, Beth lives on. On the season premiere of Dog’s Most Wanted , the group had a run of bad luck while tracking down a fugitive in Hawaii. “Let’s call it off,” Duane told the crew. “It’s getting dark so here’s the deal” “The son comes once in a while, well, once in a while was today,” he acknowledged. “So, if we catch the dad,” he reasoned. “We may trade the dad for the son.” Beth made it clear that she did not think much of that plan, uttering a very disapproving “Wow!” Duane did not initially seem to register how strongly Beth felt about this. “Yeah,” he told his wife. “I’ll let you go. You find your kid.” Beth did not agree to that plan. “What do you mean? He’s got five warrants,” she exclaimed. “I don’t think you can do that.” Trade-offs are rarely a good idea, even if they look dramatic in movies. “OK, well I’ll lie to him all right?” Duane said, then jokingly adding: “Like you do to me.” You may have guessed this already, but that did not sooth Beth’s mood. Kind of the opposite. Duane realized what he had said and went about apologizing to his beloved wife. He gave her a tender kiss and opted for the entire group to call it a night. As always, Beth was his first priority. Viewers are going to see a lot of that this season — Beth’s final season. Back in July, just weeks after Beth’s tragic passing, Duane spoke about how vital her role was on the show. “My wife is, was, and always will be the heart and soul of Dog’s Most Wanted ,” he affirmed in a statement. This was when the new season’s premiere date was first announced. “Beth wanted nothing more than for the show to go on,” he stated. “And I am so proud of the legacy that she left behind.” “She lived and died for this show,” Duane noted. “And she would be so proud of how hard we worked bringing these criminals to justice.” The premiere featured a heated moment at a gas station as multiple members of Duane’s crew jumped on a car Beth described the move as a rookie mistake, because jumping on a car will get you injured while doing little but panicking the driver. She was grateful that there were no apparent serious injuries. Beth explained that, had they not jumped on the car in a vain effort to restrain it, Beth herself could have rammed the vehicle with her own. That, she explained, would have had much more impact upon the fugitive’s ability to flee. The argument that ensued among the crew was a natural result of high tensions, adrenaline, and a lot of strong personalities in one place. Beth’s personality continues to shine through in these episodes, and one imagines that she will do so all season. And while the show sometimes appears to be a PSA about how 1800s bounty hunting laws should be repealed or at least updated, it’s fun to keep up with the chapmans. Viewers hope that they will receive closure from seeing more of Beth. Others simply cannot handle watching the woman whose death they have been grieving for months.

After a turnover, the player responsible gets to wear the chain on the sideline in a feel-good celebration of the events. That small gesture alone is sure to make headlines every time its placed around a player’s neck. No team wants to see them celebrating, so obviously the stakes and the urgency to avoid that happening have reached new levels when the chain came into the situation. Now, we have something similar going on in the NFL, but this time it’s coming from the people over at Snickers . The chocolate brand has teamed up with famed jeweler Ben Baller (#BenBallerDidTheChain) for their latest activation, in which Ben created a fully iced out chain featuring a snickers “S” logo. If you aren’t familiar with Ben Baller, he is without a doubt the top jeweler in the game right now. His quality is unmatched, and players being able to wear a piece of his art is incentive enough. The new Snickers chain is going to make a weekly rotation to one player who left nothing on the field and displayed the most hunger for the win that week. In an age were activations are rarely making sense or moving people like they used to, its dope to see one that you know is going to have people talking and make some friendly competition just a little bit more competitive. Peep Ben Baller’s announcement about his latest opportunity down below: View this post on Instagram @SNICKERS is crazy… They asked me to make them a piece for the NFL season that was worthy of being passed to a different player each week who proved he was hungry for more. I’m really proud of this one. Believe me, it is HEAVY and so ICY! Can’t wait to see who earns it each week. Stay hungry. #SNICKERSchain #BenBallerDidTheChain #Ad How much do you think this chain cost? A post shared by
