Tom Brady stuck his neck out for Antonio Brown, and Brown has repaid him by taking a bizarre shot at the quarterback and his ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen.
Brown, a teammate of Brady’s on the Patriots and Buccaneers from 2019-21, was at it again on Wednesday, responding to a Page Six article about how Brady reportedly accepted that Bündchen’s relationship with her jiu-jitsu trainer, Joaquim Valente, began “years ago.”
After initially quote-tweeting a Page Six tweet with the hashtag CTESPN, a possible mocking of both CTE and ESPN, Brown quote-tweeted that tweet with photos of he and Bündchen hugging after the Buccaneers won Super Bowl LV, writing, “Did AB know Already,” with a winking face emoji.
Brown, 35, posted a similar photo in October 2022 after Page Six reported Bündchen and Brady had several heated arguments over Brady’s decision to un-retire and play for the Buccaneers again that year.
Later that month, Brady and Bündchen confirmed their divorce.
Earlier that year, Brown ripped Brady for taking a leave of absence during Buccaneers training camp that had been previously scheduled.
In 2023, Brown alleged that Brady cursed out his agent during 2021 contract negotiations, and he also claimed Brady treated him “like a dog” for promising him targets before their game against the Jets and not delivering.
Brown lived in Brady’s house after joining the Buccaneers in 2020, and a source told CBS Sports at the time that Brady told the organization “he is going to make sure this is not a problem.”
While Brown — who was cut after just one game with the Patriots in 2019 due to sexual misconduct allegations against the wide receiver — helped the Bucs win a Super Bowl in his first year with the team, his second season went haywire.
The NFL suspended Brown three games in 2021 for misrepresenting his COVID vaccination status after his personal chef accused him of acquiring a fake vaccine card.
Then, in the Buccaneers’ penultimate game of the season against the Jets at MetLife Stadium, Brown ran off the field shirtless in the middle of the game and hasn’t played in the NFL since.
