In social media posts, Antonio Brown has appeared to be living a life of luxury in the United Arab Emirates.
In a court-mandated appearance as part of his bankruptcy case, however, he said the reality is different.
Brown fielded questions about his finances and social media activity during an Aug. 1 meeting of creditors in his Chapter 7 bankruptcy case, downplaying the lavish lifestyle that he has appeared to be living in Dubai over the past seven weeks. The former NFL wide receiver said he does not have any cryptocurrency accounts, does not own any jewelry, does not own any of the expensive sports cars that he has been seen driving in social media posts and is not paying rent in the United Arab Emirates.
"I'm actually staying out here with some people, brother," Brown said when asked about his living arrangements.
The 37-year-old declined to specify who owns the property at which he has been staying or who is paying the rent, but he said the person is not an American citizen.
