It's a sad story. It's a story that every Pittsburgh Steelers fan wouldn't have believed possible back in 2017. It's the story of Antonio Brown and his never-ending mistake-filled life that continues to be in the spotlight. It's a saga that began when the All-Pro wide receiver demanded a trade out of Pittsburgh. From that point on, Brown has been on a roller coaster of disaster with the only shining moment being a Super Bowl title in Tampa Bay.

His latest escapade comes days after a 911 call was revealed by TMZ from a November 27th incident where Brown was accused of domestic abuse. The charges were eventually dropped, but in the call, you can hear the female caller claiming that Brown was sending explicit videos to her underage son.
“[He’s] sending explicit videos to my son’s phone,” you can hear her say.
Now, Tuesday afternoon Brown was banned from the popular social media platform, Snapchat, after multiple reports were sent against him. The reason for the reports? Brown posted a sexually explicit image of Chelsie Kyriss who has multiple children with Brown on his snap story. The public image was viewed several thousand times before it was eventually removed by Snapchat.
The image gained national attention from all outlets, and it prompted a response from Kyriss who released a statement on her Instagram page.
“I have reported his page and all pictures,” Kyriss said. “Unfortunately, Snapchat is allowing him to repost. I am very sorry for any of your kids that follow him and used to look at him as a role model.”

Kyriss says she has repeatedly asked Brown to keep the sexual parts of their former relationship behind closed doors, but Brown has refused to honor her wish.
"Very well aware of what's being posted on snap. I am not in control of his action," Kyriss wrote on her Instagram story. "I have asked multiple times to have this part of our relationship to remain private but he refuses. I have reported his page and all pictures. Unfortunately Snapchat is allowing his to repost. I am very sorry for any of your kids that follow him and used to look at him as a role model. I do not condone these actions as you are aware I have kids in involved as well."

Snapchat continued to let the content stay on Brown's story until the public outcry became too strong for them to ignore. Kyriss and Brown have always had an on-and-off type of relationship. Even during Brown's days in Pittsburgh, it wasn't unusual for the two to be split up and back together again within days. All while sharing their entire relationship with the public across social media. In 2020, Kyriss filed for sole custody of their three children, but it's unclear if that case has been settled at this time.
