Antonio Brown Apologizes and Announces Settlement Over Bizarre Furniture-Tossing Episode
By Jerry Trotta
Back in April, Antonio Brown reportedly settled a lawsuit stemming from an incident in which he allegedly tossed furniture over the balcony of his Miami condo that landed near a small infant and his grandfather.
Fast forward to Monday, however, and the Oakland Raiders wideout confirmed that the lawsuit was resolved in a an apologetic tweet that has since been deleted. AB claimed that he donated money to charity to reach a settlement.
“The legal dispute between Ophir Sternberg and me has been resolved, with a confidential sum of funds being donated to charity,” wrote the All-Pro. “I am sorry that an incident occurred. I apologize for any statements we made in court filings or otherwise to Mr. Sternberg and family. I with Mr. Sternberg my best with regard to future endeavors and through this settlement, seek to make amends with Mr. Sternberg and family," he continued.
Brown's atonement was actually followed by a series of tweets heralding the importance of remaining positive throughout life.
And...
It sure looks like the superstar pass catcher is at peace with himself over the incident, regardless of how un-descriptive and cliche the apology might have been.
Let's just hope that toddler is no longer scarred by the traumatic, potentially near-death experience. A "confidential" donation to charity doesn't exactly grant him full absolution.
