‘Fake illness’ excuse makes EX-NFL Star land in controversy as he skips Court hearing
Former NFL Star Antonio Brown has sadly thrown himself into a pit by faking his health to avoid a court hearing.As reported by ‘In Touch’, Antonio Brown has provided misleading information to the court in grounds of his health and then appeared on the show of Joe Rogan’s podcast hours later.

Antonio Brown was heavily criticized for not appearing in court; the Trustee claims a bankruptcy case on him

The trustee heavily criticized Antonio Brown and filed a bankruptcy case against him. In a pleading motion, a request has been made to convert the case from a Chapter 11 to a Chapter 7.This conversion of the Chapter shall help the trustee to gain more access to Brown’s finances, which can be investigated for further information. The hearing was slated on March 5 for Brown to repay his debt, but it was called off due to medical-related issues. The trustee argued that Antonio is “not in poor health” and that he participated “as an invited guest on The Joe Rogan Experience, a podcast show for 98 minutes the very next day in Austin, Texas.”
With the argument, the trustee raised questions about Brown’s financial numbers and submitted them in the case. The case seems suspicious, and Brown has been running away to pay it off.The trustee wrote, “[Antonio’s] fourth amended schedules disclose monthly income of $35,000 and monthly expenses of $27,927.”
“These figures, when compared to the income and expenses reported on the monthly operating reports, are negligently or intentionally misleading,” it further added.“The Debtor's gross mismanagement by failing to accurately report income and expenses is cause for dismissal or conversion,” the trustee argued.It further stated, “Aside from the disclosure discrepancies and insufficiencies, the incomplete and inaccurate monthly operating reports, and lack of fulsome amendments to address the same, the Debtor's absence of honesty, by claiming an inability to attend the specially set confirmation hearing due to a feigned medical illness (yet flying to Texas for a podcast the next day at the latest), evidences the Debtor's bad faith conduct and eliminates any need to continue this reorganization.Also read: NFL Star Antonia Brown pauses GoFundMe amid doubts over viral McDonald’s story
