Antonio Brown, one of the most popular and talented players in the NFL, has run into a huge controversy after it was alleged that he shot a man in Miami whom he had previously fought with. Recently, it was also alleged that the NFL legend ended up leaving the country and fled to the United Arab Emirates and is “on the run”. While Antonio Brown deals with this controversy, this isnt actually his first trouble with the law.

Antonio Brown was sued for over $1 million after he failed to pay for the jewellery he had received in 2022
Three years ago, in 2022, celebrity jeweller Shuki International, who has also previously worked for Kim Kardashian, filed a lawsuit against Antonion Brown.

According to TMZ Sports, Shuki International alleged that Antonio Brown was sent a pair of diamond fingers, a ring and a white gold chain, which amounted to a whopping $1.095 million.


Antonio Brown had reportedly received the jewellery on 24th February 2022 and had promised to pay $1.095 million for the jewellery by 1st December 2022, but he did not stay true to his word.

In April 2023, Shuki International filed the lawsuit against Antonio Brown for failing to pay his dues but even till last year, things just kept getting worse.

As per the New York Post, Jean Louis Shuki had alleged that even court orders had not compelled Antonio Brown to pay $1.095 million.

Last year, Jean Louis Shuki spoke to the New York Post and said, “He’s a fanatic for the fingers…At this point, I don’t want the judgment, I just want the fingers back. They’re like the Mona Lisa.”

Jean Louis Shuki added, “I still love and believe in this guy…I think we can do big business together. He has lots of talent and is legendary — but he also likes to create drama.”

Antonio Brown’s bankruptcy was opposed in December 2024
A few months after this, in May 2024, Antonio Brown declared bankruptcy and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. At that point in time, the NFL legend owed a whopping $2.93 million to around eight creditors and declared assets worth $50,000.


But in December 2024, as per court documents accessed by In Touch, Antonio Brown’s bankruptcy was opposed by the trustee for “failing to declare assets”.

The trustee said, , “[Antonio] has failed to disclose his pre-petition [transfer] of property and his interests in various entities, has not timely or adequately complied with debtor reporting requirements, and cannot establish that his Plan is feasible.”

Antonio Brown has not yet reacted to the whole lawsuit and what followed after.
