Antonio Brown obtained fake COVID-19 vaccination card, former chef alleges

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown has been accused of obtaining a fake COVID-19 vaccination card, according to the Tampa Bay Times.

The Times reported Thursday that, according to Steven Ruiz, a former personal chef for the wide receiver, Brown had his girlfriend, model Cydney Moreau, reach out to Ruiz over the summer to obtain a fake vaccination card saying he had received the Johnson & Johnson shot. According to text messages provided by Ruiz, Moreau offered $500 for a fake card.

Ruiz said he was unable to acquire a fake card for Brown but that the wide receiver a few weeks later showed him ones he had for him and Moreau that he said he had purchased.
