Not directed at you, but this commonly is brought up on this board incorrectly. He chain texted his goons with a photo he took from her Instagram with her kids to make fun of her being a single mom (yet he has 5 kids and isn't married). Brown told the goons to get dirt on her to make her accusations against him to look. At the time, I don't blame him to try to defend himself when he's got people left and right coming out of the woodwork only if you believe the accusations were false. But he's gotten worse since then.
From what I remember, BB told Brown to ignore the noise and to stay off social media or respond to the accusations. He would've played the entire year had he done what he was told. Brown couldn't do it and sent the text after the Sports Illustrated article surfaced. After the painter showed the text to the media, they ran with Brown "threatening a woman and her children" narrative. This forced the Pats hand to cut him because his guarantees were about to kick in and didn't want to risk him getting suspended. Bob was also dealing with his issues along with Chung's weird drug issue. During his time in Tampa, Tom was texting him to make sure he was going to his psych appointments. Brown posted their conversation recently and Tom spoke about it on a podcast.
With that said, Brown is a terrible person and has serious mental issues.
