Antonio Brown appears to be permanently out to lunch.
The unemployed former All Pro receiver attended the deposition for his condo-trashing case last week, in which The Mansions at Acqualina claim Brown committed $80,000 in property damage and almost hit a 22-month-old toddler with furniture thrown from the 14th story balcony of a condo he was renting for $35,000 per month.
Brown appeared at a Miami office building for questioning in the case and attorneys for the complex claim Brown was a petulant child during the entire proceeding.
Via TMZ:
“Antonio Brown was extremely noncompliant and flagrantly disorderly, to the point that he frustrated the totality of the proceeding.”
Oh, it gets worse … the attorney claims Brown’s deposition was filled with “tumultuous tirades, defiant rants, use of profane language and refusal to comport himself in a civilized and grown-up manner.”
“Once the deposition started, almost immediately, [Brown] was belligerent and pugnacious, refusing to answer the most routine of questions.”
Instead of answering questions, Brown allegedly “chanted, over and over, as if a mantra, a narrative of his own warped concept of the proceeding, namely that we should only address his counterclaim.”
The deposition reportedly ended when Brown gave a five-minute countdown and then walked out well before it was scheduled to end.
Acqualina’s legal team is seeking approval for a deposition do-over in which Brown will be assigned a “special master” to ensure he cooperates.
Brown has claimed in legal documents that the luxury apartment complex failed to provide sufficient security to his unit (lol), resulting in the burglary of $80,000 in cash and a gun.
Hopefully the next deposition will not interfere with his studies at Central Michigan.
