Antonio Brown’s former stepfather: Brown ‘very abusive’ to women

Larry Moss Jr. isn’t strictly-speaking related to Antonio Brown, but he says he knows AB well from being in the receiver’s earlier life. Moss helped raise Brown between the ages of five and 17 in Miami, Florida, and he says that even then, he knew he’d be bound for trouble.

“A lot of things that Tony’s doing, nothing surprises me,’’ Moss told USA Today Sports’ Josh Peter. “I’m surprised that it took them this long to figure him out. Because he’s been this way since he’s been 12 years old.’’

Pressed further on whether he thought his former stepson was guilty of the rape allegations levied against him by his former trainer and collegiate friend, Britney Taylor, Moss wouldn’t go so far as to take an official stance on the record.
