NFL free agent wide receiver Antonio Brown responded to videos published over the weekend that allegedly showed him exposing himself to a woman in a swimming pool at a high-end hotel in the Middle East.
The New York Post reported that Brown, 34, was caught “shoving his bare buttocks into the face of a stunned woman” while both were in the swimming pool, and that he later lifted “his manhood out of the water” and whipped “it in her direction.”
Brown responded to the report on Twitter, claiming that “disinformation” was coming out about him. “Ironically, during a time when the NFL is getting heat for allowing players to play when they’re clearly concussed,” Brown added. “They’ve been using black men as guinea pigs.”
Brown’s remarks were in reference to Miami Dolphins star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa getting rushed to the hospital late last week after sustaining a head injury while being sacked by a defensive lineman for the Cincinnati Bengals.
“Every chance they get to sway the heat off themselves they use me. In the video you can clearly see she runs off with my swim trunks,” Brown continued. “If roles were reversed the headlines would read ‘AB having a wild night with nude female’.Yet when it’s me it automatically becomes a hate crime.”

Footage of the incident, obtained exclusively by the Post, was from several months ago, taking place on May 14 at the Armani Hotel Dubai.
The video appears to show the woman initially laughing off Brown’s antics before swimming off to remove herself from the situation.
The report said that Brown had just met the woman and that she was reportedly “fuming” after the encounter.
The Post said that in one video, Brown lifted himself out of the water twice in front of the woman while naked, thus exposing his bare backside to her face. In a separate video, Brown reportedly tried to wrap a “scarf around her head” that he grabbed from another swimmer.
“Brown then lifts the woman up and tosses her head first into the water like he was spiking a football,” the report said. “Brown then grabs his penis, and briefly yanks it out of the water in the direction of the woman.”
The Post reported that multiple eyewitnesses said that the athlete continued to expose himself to the woman after the recording ended and allegedly propositioned her, asking, “You want it?”
The hotel reportedly asked Brown to leave following the incident.
The report said that Brown, who is now pursuing a music career, may have violated United Arab Emirates laws about drugs and dress code with his behavior at the hotel.
