Antonio Brown has been accused of acting inappropriately toward people he has worked with by skipping out on payments and engaging in immature behavior, and one doctor recently recalled a particularly grotesque exchange he had with the Pro Bowl wide receiver.
Robert Klemko of Sports Illustrated spoke with two dozen people for a feature about Brown that was published on Monday, and one of them was Dr. Victor Prisk, a former gymnast and bodybuilder who runs Prisk Orthopaedics and Wellness (POW) in Pennsylvania. Prisk says he took Brown on as a client despite being aware of what he described as his “flighty” reputation, and he ended up regretting the decision.
Prisk says he had an oral agreement in place with Brown to serve as Brown’s “wellness coach” at a rate of $500 per hour. He said Brown always tried to come up with clever ways to avoid paying him, including talking about ways the two could go into business together. In addition, Brown once shared a video on social media that showed him farting multiple times and laughing about it while Prisk was measuring his body fat. You can see the video below, but beware that it contains some inappropriate language:
“It seemed just childish to me,” Prisk said of the incident. “I’m a doctor and this man is farting in my face.”
Prisk filed a lawsuit earlier this month seeking $11,500 from Brown.
Passing gas in a professional setting is mild compared to some of the other allegations made against Brown in the article, but it’s just another example of a pattern of inappropriate behavior.
