Antonio Brown has been a thorn in the side of Tom Brady in the months since he abandoned the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in East Rutherford, New Jersey, in January.
As Brady and his ex-wife Gisele Bündchen started to field rumors of their impending divorce, Brown would use social media to troll his former friend. He posted photos of him and Bündchen hugging together on the field following the Buccaneers’ Super Bowl LV victory.
