New England Patriots' Antonio Brown accused of sexual assault, rape by former trainer
A former trainer for Antonio Brown has accused him of sexual assault and rape. The allegation happened when he was a Pittsburg Steeler, but the now New England Patriot is in hot water.
New York Jets running back Le’Veon Bell commented on Antonio Brown in an interview Sunday following the wide receiver’s ugly divorce from the Pittsburgh Steelers and Oakland Raiders and his transition to the New England Patriots while also being accused of sexual assault and rape.
Bell sat down with ESPN and his interview aired ahead of the Jets’ Week 2 game against the Cleveland Browns on Monday night.

“Sometimes, it's kinda hard to overcome when a lot of negative things are happening or when people are saying a lot of negative things about you,” the running back said of Brown. “It's like a snowball effect. It happened to me when I had my suspension. I don't ever wanna get too low on myself. I hope Antonio's doing the same thing. If I had to give him advice, that's what I'd give him.”
Bell added: “If you know AB personally, you'll know that he's like, a good person. He's not really trying to harm anybody. Maybe there's something he wants and he's trying to achieve it. He might go a different way about it than other people would but, it is what it is.”
