Antonio Brown Files Defamation Countersuit Against Britney Taylor

Antonio Brown has filed a countersuit against Britney Taylor while claiming defamation and interference with his NFL contracts and endorsements, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.

Taylor, Brown's former trainer, initially filed a lawsuit against Brown saying that he sexually assaulted her on three occasions in 2017 and 2018.

In the countersuit, the NFL receiver says the "'false accusations' earlier this year affected his business dealings of which she had previous knowledge."

Brown was released by the New England Patriots in September and has remained unsigned.

His release from New England came after he allegedly sent threatening text messages to a second woman who said he made an unwanted sexual advance toward her.
