Antonio Brown said his recent sideline rant against the New York Jets that resulted in his dismissal from the Buccaneers, and previous incidents he's been involved in, have been misinterpreted as mental health issues.
In a preview of an episode of "I Am Athlete" that will be posted in full on January 24, Brown tells Brandon Marshall that he's not suffering from mental health issues.
Everyone in the world has different reactions to what happened to me. It's all based on where you come from, how you feel, and no one will really know that regardless of who you are. Football players are willing to do whatever it takes to make some obligated gain. There's a lot of stuff that went on that may not have been handled right in the midst of those gains.
You started your career on a high. It is like a roller coaster. Everyone leaves when you go up, as soon as it goes down. "If we all say we care about mental health, why every time something happens bad or someone reacts, 'Aw, he's crazy, there's something wrong with his mental health,'" Brown asked." There's nothing wrong with my mental health. Someone told me to leave. I'm not aggressive.
Brown and his attorney Sean Burstyn claim that the Bucs wanted Brown to receive counseling when he was too injured to play, and that he was told to leave the field when he said his ankle was too injured to play.
Brown has shifted his focus to his music career after being released by the Buccaneers, and he will need to have surgery on his ankle. He wants to play football next year. He released a song called "Pit Not the Palace". Two weeks ago, he was courtside for a Nets game. He's been in photo shoots with his friends, including Madonna and Floyd Mayweather.
He has acknowledged in the past that he was 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 Eddie Brown told Jeremy Fowler that his son was undergoing therapy after he was released from the New England Patriots.
Brown supports mental health treatment. In February 2020, Brown was asked if he needed mental health help, to which he responded, "We all need mental help."
Brown's life was different at that time. He was arrested and charged with felonies. The mother of three of his children posted on social media that she and their children were focused on building a new life free from impulsive, reckless and unhealthy behaviors. "My hope is that Anotonio will get help and seek the mental health treatment that he so desperately needs so that he can be the father all of his children need and deserve."
He and Kyriss reconciled and she and their children were at the Super Bowl when Brown and the Bucs defeated the Kansas City Chiefs. One year early, Brown was terminated for good behavior after undergoing anger management counseling. He was described as a "model citizen" by both the general manager and the head coach.
"It was very hard, yeah," he said. I wish him well. I hope he gets some help. It's very difficult because I care about him.
