Antonio Brown allegedly sought a fake COVID vaccination card. Now the NFL is investigating

After a year of relative silence off the field, Antonio Brown is once again in the news cycle. This after a report from the Tampa Bay Times on Thursday which alleges the Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver sought — and may have procured — a counterfeit COVID-19 vaccination card prior to training camp.

The claim comes from Brown’s former live-in chef, Steven Ruiz, who told the Times that he’s speaking out about Brown’s alleged actions after the two had a falling out over an unpaid $10,000 in services. According to Ruiz, Brown directed his girlfriend, model Cydney Moreau, to ask the chef to seek out a fake Johnson & Johnson vaccination card for him.
