AceShowbiz - Antonio Brown has spoken out after facing backlash for trolling Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen multiple times amid rumors the couple is heading for divorce. In a statement posted on social media, the NFL free agent insisted he's not spreading "hate."
On Tuesday night, October 25, the 34-year-old footballer turned to his Twitter to tell his followers that he "[acts] with love, not hate." The wide receiver added, "But that doesn't mean I can't show people the truth."
Antonio's tweet came after he trolled his former teammate again. He took the troll to the next level by selling T-shirts featuring a photo of himself hugging the seven-time Super Bowl champion's wife Gisele.
Along with a photo of the T-shirt design, Antionio wrote, "#putthats**ton with me." He then sarcastically added, "Proceeds going to charities supporting America's fatherless kids."
Antonio's immature attacks have risen amid Tom's reported marital problems with Brazilian supermodel Gisele. Earlier this month, AB took to his Instagram account to upload a picture of him hugging Gisele.
The image reportedly was taken when AB and Gisele were celebrating Tampa Bay Buccaneers' victory in Super Bowl 55 by beating the Kansas City Chiefs. "Put that S**t On," the athlete bizarrely captioned the image.
A few days later, AB poked fun at Tom and his wife's decision to live separately. Turning to Instagram and Twitter, AB shared a meme that mocked the reports of the couple's reported split. The meme featured a photoshopped cover of a fake children's book titled "Daddy Doesn't Live Here Anymore: A Book About Divorce."
The illustrated cover showed a sad man, designed to resemble Tom, leaving a home as a woman, drawn to resemble Gisele, and their daughter looking out from the doorway. It also featured a man character, who looked like AB, sitting in the house by the window.
Not stopping there, AB dissed Tom on Snapchat. On October 23, he uploaded a throwback photo of Tom and Gisele posing sweetly on the field, but with AB's head photoshopped over Tom's.
While some Internet users found the post hilarious, others argued that it's "disrespectful" to Tom, who helped AB land contracts within the NFL amid his troubling history of allegedly violent behavior toward women. The 45-year-old quarterback even let AB stay at his house when he first moved to Florida.
