Tom Brady Once Begged Antonio Brown Not to Miss His Appointment With a Psychologist

Antonio Brown has had a slew of legal issues since his time playing in the NFL came to an end. There were concerns about his mental health and propensity toward impulsive decisions, even while he was making clutch plays as a wide receiver. Still, he is facing more trouble now than ever, with the Miami police looking to charge the former wide receiver with attempted murder. The news has reignited interest in his often-tense NFL relationships. Did you know that Tom Brady once begged Antonio Brown not to miss an appointment with a psychologist? Brown leaked the thread himself just weeks ago.

Antonio Brown is in hot water with the Miami PD

The Miami Police are looking for Antonio Brown. A warrant for the former NFL star wide receiver was issued on June 11, but it is connected to an incident that occurred a month ago. According to The Guardian, Brown was involved in an altercation in Miami on May 16.

Brown’s alleged victim told police that he had a disagreement with the former star, and a physical fight broke out. Brown allegedly then grabbed a gun from a security guard and fired two shots. Police recovered shell casings. Later, police collected video evidence that appeared to show Brown firing the shots. He is being charged with attempted murder.

While the charge is the most serious one the former athlete has ever faced, it’s not his first scuffle with the law or authority. In fact, Brown has had several legal issues over the years. He’s also had problems with the NFL. His former teammates have even tried to step in and help him.

NFL fans question Brown’s mental health

Antonio Brown’s most recent legal trouble doesn’t come as a massive surprise to NFL fans, many of whom have questioned whether Brown has been in a good mental space for the last several years. Brown last played in the NFL in 2021, when he famously stripped off his jersey and walked out of a game.

His on-field behavior had been called into question several times in the past, and the jersey incident appeared to be the final straw for the former all-star. Since then, he’s had several run-ins with the law, faced lawsuits for sexual assault, and periodically took to X (formerly Twitter) to throw shade at former teammates and even their families. Each time, fans and followers have stepped forward to question whether Brown is getting any sort of support or help.

Tom Brady once urged him to keep his psychologist appointments

Antonio Brown’s legal issues, erratic behavior, and overreactions have caused unease among NFL fans and led to plenty of discussion about his mental health. That hasn’t stopped former teammates from trying to lend a hand. Tom Brady often praised Antonio Brown to the media, insisting he believed in his skills and ability. Off the field, he had worries. Antonio Brown once leaked a text conversation with Brady. In the thread, Brady urged Brown to keep his appointments with a psychologist. Brady suggested that he needed to work hard to get his emotions under control.

Brown shared the messages via social media, insisting that Brady was insincere and was not supportive of him. According to the Daily Mail, the leak backfired. Brown may have thought he was exposing Brady as unsupportive. Others disagreed with his take. Followers flooded the comments to suggest that the former wide receiver take Brady’s advice and accept that it was coming from a good place.
