A woman who goes by the name Britney Taylor has filed lawsuits against New England Patriots superstar receiver, Antonio Brown. Britney Taylor alleged that Brown raped and sexually assaulted her.

Taylor mentions in her lawsuit that she met Brown when they were students at Central Michigan University and became friends when they bumped into each other at a Bible study group.
Then, after bumping into each other years later, they developed a “brother-sister” relationship and Brown reportedly hired her as a physical trainer.
Taylor claims Brown of kissed her without her consent after exposing himself at his home in July 2017. And that same month at his house in Miami, she alleged he masturbated and ejaculated on her back without her knowledge. In that incident, Taylor claims Brown gloated about it vis text messages.
Below are the alleged text messages Brown sent to Taylor:
Brown and Taylor cut ties for months after that incident, but eventually reunited when he reached out to her again in 2018, she says.
In the third incident, Brown forced her face into a mattress on May 20, 2018, and raped her, the suit states. She tried to fight him off, screaming, “No!” and “Stop!” she claims.
That took place after Taylor went with Brown, another football player and several friends to a club in the Miami area.
Taylor later filed a lawsuit with her name listed. Taylor says in her lawsuit that she has frequent panic attacks and suicidal thoughts because of the alleged assaults.
“As a rape victim of Antonio Brown, deciding to speak out has been an incredibly difficult decision,” she said. “I have found strength in my faith, my family and from the accounts of other survivors of sexual assault.
“Speaking out removes the shame that I have felt for the past year and places it on the person responsible for my rape.”
According to reports the trainer is seeking in excess of $75,000. Brown claims he had consensual sex with Taylor and accused her of trying to shake him down for money.
“Mr. Brown’s accuser has continually posted photographs of Mr. Brown on her social media in an effort to financially benefit from his celebrity,” his lawyer, Darren Heitner, said in a statement.
“Mr. Brown, whose hard work and dedication to his craft has allowed him to rise to the top of his profession, refuses to be the victim of what he believes to be a money grab,” Heitner added.
