Antonio Brown says he wasn't arrested for firing shots at Adin Ross' boxing event; claims to press charges against robbers

It’s not a real boxing event in 2025 unless something wild happens outside the ring, and Antonio Brown seems to have delivered the off-site drama. After videos started swirling online showing police detaining the ex-NFL wide receiver outside Adin Ross’s boxing event, the internet immediately jumped to conclusions, literally and figuratively.

But according to AB himself, there’s a lot more to the story than what clips on your feed might suggest. Brown says he wasn’t arrested. Instead, he claims he was attacked by a group of people trying to rob him, and police only held him temporarily while they figured out what had happened.

Antonio Brown denies arrest after viral scuffle at Adin Ross event

Brown took to social media to clear the air with a detailed post addressing what he says really happened that night. The incident, which caught major traction thanks to its “did he shoot or not?” mystery, quickly became a trending topic online.

In his own words, Brown wrote:

"Regarding the boxing event that happened last night. I was jumped by multiple individuals who tried to steal my jewelry and cause physical harm to me. Contrary to some video circulating, Police temporarily detained me until they received my side of the story and then released me. I WENT HOME THAT NIGHT AND WAS NOT ARRESTED."

He added that he’s now consulting with his lawyers and plans to press charges against the people who allegedly attacked him.

What made the post go viral wasn’t just the celebrity drama, it was the blurred lines of what actually happened. Was he arrested? Did he fire shots? Did anyone get the chain? The clip didn’t tell the full story, and naturally, the internet did what it does best: fill in the blanks with a mix of sarcasm and conspiracy.

Now this is where things got really entertaining. While Brown may be serious about pressing charges, fans (and trolls) had their own version of events.

As soon as the narrative turned from “Antonio Brown got arrested” to “Antonio Brown might’ve fired shots while protecting his bling,” the comments started rolling in with zero chill.

A user chimed in with a not-so-convinced take:

“If you were jumped, they definitely would’ve got your jewelry, not tried to.”

Then came the comedy gold.

One user summed it up with:

“Talk about a bling-bling standoff.”

There’s something about the mix of celebrity chaos and half-truths that turns even the most serious moment into meme material within minutes. It’s not that fans don’t take these things seriously; it’s just that the line between real-life and reality TV has all but disappeared, especially when it comes to Antonio Brown.

Add in Antonio Brown’s typical unpredictable energy, and it’s no surprise the entire thing felt like a deleted scene from a Netflix drama.

At the end of the day, only two things are clear: Antonio Brown was not arrested, and he says he’s now lawyering up to go after those who tried to rob him. Whether charges are actually filed remains to be seen, but knowing AB, we’ll likely get a play-by-play on his Instagram before the police issue a formal update.

Until then, the saga of “AB vs The Jewelry Bandits” remains one of the most unexpected plot twists in Adin Ross’s already chaotic boxing universe.

And honestly? We wouldn’t expect it any other way.
