When I was younger, I often ended up in relationships where guys would put me down, telling me I wasn’t worth much or that I was unattractive. They made me feel like I’d never amount to anything without them. Recently, people were really upset when Lil Kim confirmed her new relationship with Antonio Brown, especially after they were seen getting close at a club. Antonio has a terrible history with women, having mistreated nearly every partner he’s had. Lil Kim, who is a survivor of domestic violence, even revealed she had to get nose surgery after an ex-boyfriend broke it during an argument. Many people are worried that Antonio might be using Lil Kim’s past trauma to manipulate her into staying with him. It’s not clear how long they’ve been together, but it seems they’ve been involved for a while, and the public is not happy about it.
If you haven’t been following the latest gossip, Lil Kim and Antonio just sparked dating rumors after they were seen kissing and getting really touchy at Big Fy’s yacht party. Lan was supposed to be performing and hyping up the crowd, but Antonio’s constant affection made that pretty hard. It’s clear they’ve been getting close for a while, which probably gave them the confidence to be so open about their relationship in public. As expected, people started criticizing Lan right away, especially since Antonio has a bad reputation for being violent toward women. One person joked, “Those red flags are like Six Flags sometimes.” Another added, “He must be doing something right, because he doesn’t seem crazy enough for y’all to be so upset.”
If you don’t know about Antonio’s history with women, brace yourself for some uncomfortable truths. Despite his success in the NFL, his career has been overshadowed by major scandals and domestic violence allegations, which have seriously damaged his reputation. Because of this, people often worry when he starts a new relationship, fearing that his new partner might become the next victim in a pattern of troubled relationships. His issues began to make waves in 2017 when he posted an explicit video of his teammates in the locker room after a big win against the Kansas City Chiefs. This action drew intense backlash and accusations of invading his teammates’ privacy.
This was just the beginning of a series of controversies for him, as he kept making headlines for all the wrong reasons. He disrespected his coaches, skipped training sessions, and was even fired by the Oakland Raiders. Things took a serious turn in 2019 when he was accused of sexually assaulting his former trainer, Britney Taylor. She filed a lawsuit against him, claiming that he first assaulted her in June 2017 by exposing himself and kissing her without her consent. Later that month, she said he assaulted her again by ejaculating on her back. The lawsuit included disturbing messages Taylor said he sent her about the incidents. This experience led her to end their professional relationship, but he continued to harass her. The situation escalated further on May 20, 2018, when he allegedly forced her onto a bed, pushed her face into the mattress, and assaulted her despite her repeated pleas for him to stop. Although he initially denied these claims, he eventually settled the lawsuit privately.
In 2020, Antonio got into serious trouble again when he and his bodyguard physically attacked a truck driver. The truck driver, hired to move Antonio’s stuff from California to Florida, ended up in a dispute with Antonio over payment. Things escalated, and Antonio, along with his trainer Glenn Hol, assaulted the driver, damaging his truck and other belongings in the process. The driver quickly sued, and Antonio was hit with a judgment for over $1.2 million in damages.
Antonio’s behavior didn’t improve; in 2022, he faced another lawsuit for sexual assault. This time, he was accused of harassing and exposing himself to a woman in a Dubai hotel pool. The whole incident was caught on video, showing Antonio first showing the woman his rear without her consent and then exposing himself to her and others in the pool, including children. It was a truly disturbing scene for everyone involved.
Later that year, he was sued again by his ex-fiancée and the mother of his children, Chelsea Marie Chris. She accused him of domestic violence, claiming that during an argument, he threw a shoe at her, dumped her belongings on the street, and threatened to shoot her if she returned to their house. Their children were reportedly present during this incident.
Then, just last year, Antonio took things even further by posting naked photos of Chelsea on Snapchat without her consent. Snapchat quickly removed the photos and banned him from the platform. Chelsea had to address the situation publicly, saying, “I know what’s being posted on Snap. I’m not in control of his actions. I’ve asked many times for our past to stay private, but he won’t listen. I’ve reported his page and the photos, but Snapchat keeps letting him repost them. I’m really sorry to anyone, especially those with kids who once looked up to him. I don’t condone what he’s done, and my children are affected by this too.”
A lot of people are scratching their heads over Lil’ Kim dating Antonio. It’s especially puzzling because Lil’ Kim has had her share of tough experiences with men. You’d think she’d choose her partners more carefully, but it seems she’s doing the opposite. She’s talked openly about how one of her exes physically abused her, even breaking her nose during an argument, which led to multiple surgeries to fix it.
She’s reflected on her past and shared that she’s been in relationships where men put her down and made her feel worthless. Now that she’s older, she’s using that negativity to fuel her self-confidence. She said, “I’m turning all that negativity into strength. I’m building my self-esteem on my own terms.”
She also mentioned that her relationship with the late Notorious B.I.G. was violent, and it was a pattern she seemed to attract for a while. She said, “It was a very violent relationship. I hate that I attracted violent men for a while. In the industry, it feels like guys can do whatever they want, while women have no power.”
It’s concerning that she might still be drawn to problematic partners, given Antonio’s history of mistreating women, including his ex.
People are sharing their thoughts on this. One person said, “There’s something really dark about him,” while another commented, “Out of all the men she could choose, she picks one who clearly needs help.”
