A former live-in chef for Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown is accusing him of obtaining a fake COVID-19 vaccination card. The chef, Steven Ruiz, shared text message conversations he had with Brown's girlfriend Cydney Moreau with the Tampa Bay Times.
Ruiz says he stopped working for Brown after a dispute over a debt of $10,000.
In the messages featured in the story, Moreau asked Ruiz if he could obtain the card. "JNJ shot. Ab said he would give you $500," the text shows.
Moreau denies knowing or being in communication with Ruiz, though the Tampa Bay Times says it confirmed that the phone number used in the conversation belongs to her.
