Raiders Drama Continues as Antonio Brown Now Facing Lawsuit Over Wildly Expensive Unpaid Chef Bill
By Scott Rogust
Oakland Raiders wide receiver Antonio Brown continues to make headlines this offseason. It's pretty much nonstop at this point.
Brown is facing a civil lawsuit over an unpaid chef bill of $38,000 from last season's Pro Bowl festivities in Orlando, Florida.
Stefano Tedeschi, known as "The Sports Chef," filed his lawsuit to the Oscela County Court on July 30, claiming that Brown has yet to pay his debt.
Tedeschi told ESPN that Brown rented out a mansion near Orlando and hired him to prepare food for nearly 50 guests in the span of multiple days. The chef claimed that Brown had "wrongfully terminated their agreement," and disallowed him from retrieving his cooking equipment from the residence.
To make matters even more bizarre, Tedeschi claims that one of Brown's associates told him "not to make eye contact with Brown on his way out."
Tedeschi alleges that Brown offered to repay him in social media advertisement, in which the chef declined.
Brown made the news recently after suffering severe frostbite to his feet in a cryotherapy incident and filing a grievance against the NFL over his preferred Schutt Air Advantage football helmet, which no longer passes the league's concussion protocol.
We can now add unpaid chef's bill to Antonio Brown's eventful week.
