Antonio Brown, a former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver, reportedly owes almost $1 million to a celebrity jeweller after failing to win a case against him. According to TMZ, Brown was ordered to reimburse Shuki International after failing to return or pay for borrowed jewellery.
Shuki claims Brown was loaned two diamond fingers worth $500,000 each. Brown has worn the diamond fingers in numerous appearances, displaying his jewellery on stage and at events for more than a year.
Brown was also given a rose gold diamond version of the finger, a white gold chain and a ring – all with the expectation that Brown would return the items or pay for them in the future.
After over a year of trying to get the jewelry back, Shuki filed a lawsuit for the price of $1,095,000. After failing to fight the case, the judge ordered a default judgment for Shuki, forcing Brown to pay the money.
Brown has recently earned a lot of news, largely for calling out famous sports figures. This includes accusing J.J. Watt and making harsh jokes about Caitlin Clark on social media.
The Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver has not played in the NFL since departing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers midway through a game in 2021. Since then, he has pursued a rap career while also making headlines for a variety of legal issues.
