I probably shouldn’t be shocked by this new news but I am. This guy is unbelievable. I only can think of two explanations for why someone under such a massive microscope would think it is a good idea to include an accuser in a group text with his lawyer and friends and then double down on stupidity by including a photo of her kids....severe mental illness or severe inebriation with side orders of entitlement and douchebaggery.
99% chance that his lawyer or agent (or both) have told him to lay low and not bring any more negative attention to himself bc people at gunning for him and waiting for him to slip up again. Unless his lawyer is a total worthless hack, he also likely advised him to avoid personally communicating with any of his accusers for any reason. Want to try to smooth things over with one or more of them? Ok, AB, but let us make that communication for you.
Also, assuming these texts are legit, why wouldn’t his lawyer and his friends immediately text him or, even better, call him after his first text and say “AB, what the f*ck are you doing?! Put down your damn phone and end this text thread right f*cking now! This will end very f*cking badly for you if you keep going”. They just let him continue to send several more moronic, self destructive texts? It makes no sense.
There is a decent chance that this is going to end with Brown’s release as soon as later today, no? As much as I want to see what this offense could be with him, this guy is likely to be an ongoing headache and distraction, if he can’t shut the f*ck up/avoid stupidity for more than a week. Especially with another multimillion dollar bonus due on Monday, they may cut bait.....unless the report is somehow inaccurate or, even less likely, that the texts were fabricated somehow.
I’m no Stacey James but perhaps his only chance to survive this latest incident would be to make a public mea culpa and apology...blame it on letting the stress of all of these reports get to him, coupled with an evening of too much alcohol while celebrating his new opportunity with the Patriots with friends/family (ie. the drunk text defense).
Finally, while I do believe that his texts to this woman could be considered a mild form of harassment and intimidation, this isn’t even in the same stratosphere as Hunt’s “You should be afraid of me too, *****!”. That threat to his fiance and son didn’t cost him a single game and he still got an extension from the Chiefs. Not that we can expect any consistency from Goodell but on that basis alone this should not lead to a Brown suspension.
