Ex-Steelers' Antonio Brown Loses $1 Million Lawsuit

The former Pittsburgh Steelers wideout denied to fight a recent lawsuit.

PITTSBURGH -- Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown now owes over $1 million to a celebrity jeweler after failing to fight a lawsuit against him. According to TMZ, Brown has been ordered to pay the money to Shuki International after failing to return or pay for borrowed jewelry. 

Shuki claims Brown was loaned two diamond fingers that cost $500,000 a piece. Brown has been seen wearing the diamond fingers in multiple appearances, showcasing his jewelry on stage and during events for over a year.

Brown was also given a rose gold diamond version of the finger, a white gold chain and a ring - all with the expectation that Brown would return the items or pay for them in the future. 

After over a year of trying to get the jewelry back, Shuki filed a lawsuit for the price of $1,095,000. After failing to fight the case, the judge ordered a default judgment for Shuki, forcing Brown to pay the money. 

Brown has made plenty of headlines as of late, mostly for calling our famed sports figures. This includes accusations against J.J. Watt, and making cruel jokes about Caitlin Clark on social media. 

The former Steelers' wideout hasn't played in the NFL since leaving mid-game in 2021 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Since then, he's pursued a rap career, but has found himself in the news for numerous legal situations.
