Antonio Brown in hot water over fake vaccination card
A former live-in chef for Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown is accusing him of obtaining a fake COVID-19 vaccination card. The chef, Steven Ruiz, shared text message conversations he had with Brown’s girlfriend Cydney Moreau with the Tampa Bay Times.
Ruiz says he stopped working for Brown after a dispute over a debt of $10,000.

In the messages featured in the story, Moreau asked Ruiz if he could obtain the card. “JNJ shot. Ab said he would give you $500,” the text shows.
Moreau denies knowing or being in communication with Ruiz, though the Tampa Bay Times says it confirmed that the phone number used in the conversation belongs to her.
Ruiz says he did not successfully find Brown a fake vaccination card, but Brown eventually found them for himself and Moreau, and showed the chef “days before the start of Bucs training camp,” according to the report.
That night, Ruiz said Brown received treatment from Alex Guerrero, co-founder of Tom Brady’s company TB12. Guerrero took a photo of the alleged fake vaccination card while at Brown’s home, Ruiz said.
