Former NFL receiver Antonio Brown has never been one to shy away from controversy, even when it involves previous teammates. Tom Brady embraced Brown during their time in Tampa Bay. Brady recruited Brown to the Buccaneers, even offering his home to the receiving legend.
Brown has since spread rumors regarding Brady and his now ex-wife Gisele Bündchen. Brown has insinuated on social media that there is more to their relationship and made it feel personal.
Brown began these types of comments years ago but never retracted his statements. Recently, he spoke on the podcast “It Is What It Is” and covered the subject of Brady and his ex-wife, including several topics.

Many onlookers thought Brown crossed the line when he posted pictures of Brady and Bündchen. Many questioned why Brown would seamlessly attack his former teammate, someone who befriended him.
The most infamous photo of Brown and Bündchen is from the Buccaneers’ Super Bowl victory. The two were joyous at the moment, so celebrating and hugging was a common occurrence.
How Were the Dynamics between Tom Brady and Brown?
Even though Brown has perpetuated the notion that there was/is something romantic going on between himself and Bündchen, he said the moment at the Super Bowl that spurred these rumors made him feel awkward about their relationship and his relationship with Brady.
