Facing attempted murder charge, ex-Steelers WR Antonio Brown says 'I'm out the country'
Antonio Brown has claimed to be out of the country, as his latest social media post has gone viral for all the wrong reasons. Brown, who is facing an attempted murder charge for his alleged involvement in a shooting at Adin Ross' celebrity boxing event, took to social media to seemingly declare he isn't in the United States: "I'm out the country. Ain't no more child support. Tell your mama get a job." It remains to be seen if this post should be taken seriously, as Brown — or whoever handles his account — often makes outlandish comments on X, including last week's take on Steelers DT Cam Heyward. Regarding the charges, Brown claims to have been the victim in the incident and dismissed the shooting video allegations as 'made up.'
