NFL's Antonio Brown out of Florida jail promoting music
The day after his release, Brown posted footage from a music video shoot for his song 'Goals'
Antonio Brown, a four-time NFL All-Pro wide receiver whose career has spanned contracts with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Oakland Raiders and New England Patriots, is no stranger to controversy. On Sept. 10, 2019, Brown was accused in a civil suit of sexually assaulting and raping his former trainer on three separate occasions in 2017 and 2018.
Embattled NFL free agent Antonio Brown was back on social media just hours after posting over $100,000 in bail for allegedly attacking a truck driver along with his trainer.
On Saturday, Brown, a budding rapper, posted to his 3.8 million Instagram followers footage of himself and others apparently filming a music video for his song "Goals." The post garnered more than 1.2 million views and thousands of comments, including messages of support from big names such as former NBA player Metta World Peace.

World Peace, who previously went by the name Ron Artest, has his own history of boisterous, belligerent behavior, to which he refers in his message to Brown.
On Sunday, Brown was back on Instagram to share his sympathies in the wake of the tragic deaths of Kobe Bryant and eight others, including Bryant's daughter.

He proceeded to advertise his new music on both Instagram and Twitter throughout Monday despite criticism from those who said he was showing poor taste in the aftermath of the shocking sudden deaths.
REMEMBERING NBA LEGEND KOBE BRYANT
Brown, who is a free agent, played nine seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was traded to the Oakland Raiders last year but was released before ever playing a regular-season game following several off-the-field incidents. He was then signed by the New England Patriots, who released Brown in September after a second woman in 10 days accused him of sexual misconduct.

Broward County Judge Corey Amanda Cawthon set a $110,000 bond and imposed conditions including a GPS monitor, no possession of weapons or ammunition, a mental health evaluation and the surrender of his passport. Brown also must undergo random drug testing.
As he was released on Friday, Brown reportedly sprinted away from reporters and his attorney but ran the wrong way and was forced to turn back and face those he had just tried to get away from.
