Former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown faced backlash on Wednesday after leaving a disrespectful comment under a post about sports host Joy Taylor. The original tweet, shared by a user, showed Taylor confidently posing in a turquoise workout outfit. The user wrote, “The Joy Taylor hate needs to stop,” drawing support for her fitness and body-positive message.
However, Brown’s comment took a negative turn, comparing Taylor to fast-food left out in the heat. He tweeted, “That sh*t gonna be like Arby’s that has sat out in the baking sun in Florida for 12 hours.”
Fans quickly criticized Brown for his remark, calling it “unnecessary” and “disrespectful.” Many pointed out the recurring nature of his online controversies and expressed concern over the treatment of women in sports media on social platforms.
Brown’s off-field issues have spanned legal, financial, and behavioral problems. In 2018, he was accused of sexual assault by a former trainer. Financially, Brown filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2024 despite having earned millions during his NFL career. More recently, he faced a second-degree attempted murder charge in June following a shooting incident in Miami.

In other news, Antonio Brown once again grabbed attention online with his reaction to Sydney Sweeney’s viral appearance at Variety’s 2025 Power of Women event on Wednesday. The Hollywood actress wore a sheer silver gown that quickly became a trending topic on social media.
Brown responded by posting a GIF inspired by Amazon Prime’s “The Boys,” featuring the character “Homelander” smelling a carton of milk.
At the event, Sweeney addressed her bold look, sharing a powerful message about resilience and self-worth. “I know what it feels like to have people define you before you’ve had a chance to define yourself,” Sweeney told reporters. “I know what it feels like to have to prove that you deserve to be here, to be seen, to be taken seriously. Every one of us has our own fight. Strength doesn’t look loud sometimes, and sometimes it’s about getting up again and again, no matter who is watching.”
