Antonio Brown has claimed that his Snapchat account was hacked an explicit photo of Chelsie Kyriss, the mother of his children, was posted on his page on Tuesday.
“My Snapchat page has been hacked. Working with @snapchatsupport to get this resolved ASAP,’ Brown tweeted on Wednesday, disclaiming responsibility for the sexually explicit image that was posted.
The photo showed Kyriss, who reported Brown’s account to Snapchat, performing oral sex in bed. The post was claimed to have been deleted before his account was suspended.

Brown took to Twitter to claim that his account had been “hacked” and that he was working to “fix as quickly as possible”
In response to Brown’s tweet claiming he had been hacked, Snapchat Support’s automated reply replied: ‘Hi! Let’s see how we can help. Send us a DM with some details about what’s going on and we’ll take it from there.’
Another user didn’t buy it, writing back “you know what happens…”
Snapchat’s support team followed it up with: ‘Hey! Let’s see how we can help. Send us a DM with some details about what’s going on and we’ll take it from there.’
15 hours ago, Brown posted a tweet to a Linktree page where fans could pre-order his upcoming music release, titled “Do What I Want.”
Snapchat, a photo-sharing platform that allows photos to disappear after a certain period of time, has clear guidelines that prohibit sexually explicit content.

Fans who didn’t buy Snapchat were out of the loop, but fell into the trap of the automated messages

They were also quoted Tuesday by TMZ as saying they “prohibit sexually explicit content and bullying or harassment of any kind.”
After the photo appeared on Brown’s Snapchat page, Kyriss quickly reported it.
“I have reported his page and all the photos,” Kyriss claimed to TMZ on Tuesday.
“Unfortunately, Snapchat allows him to repost. I am very sorry for some of your children who follow him and used to look up to him as a role model. I do not condone these actions as you are aware that I also have children involved.’
Only after the images emerged did Brown take to Twitter to share his thoughts, describing a condition as “somewhere between psy.chot.ic and i.con.ic”.
In two follow-up tweets, he added: “what more can I SAY NOW?”
The other read: “Don’t play wits [sic] me, play football.
But after sleeping on it, he has since claimed to have had his account hacked.

Brown and his Snapchat account previously made headlines after he mocked former teammate Tom Brady back in November.
The former NFL receiver shared a clearly photoshopped image of Brady’s ex-wife, Gisele Bundchen, on the body of another woman’s naked body, all without any explanation.
His interest in Brady’s divorce from Bundchen after 13 years of marriage extended to other poor attempts at Photoshop, including one in which he superimposed his face onto a photo of Brady being hugged from behind by Bundchen.
In November, Brown reignited his seemingly one-sided feud with Brady, once again through his infamous Snapchat account.
“You demonstrate very poor judgment and poor communication to so many people who have gone above and beyond to help you,” began the message, which Brown shared on Snapchat.
The name at the top of the message was “TOM BRADY”, and the text appeared to have been sent on May 10, 2021 at 12.58.
If the text message is genuine, it’s unclear what Brady was referring to at the time, but nonetheless, Brown has made a habit of mocking his former teammate on social media since leaving Tampa.

Brady and Brown played together on the Bucs, and Brady has never seemed to have a problem with his old teammate asking for digs on social media
Brown continued to antagonize Brady on social media, releasing an alleged text message from his former Buccaneers teammate dating back to May 2021
Brown has been out of the NFL since January 2, 2022, when he walked out on his Bucs teammates during a game against the New York Jets.
After a sideline dispute with coaches at MetLife Stadium, where Brown argued with then-head coach Bruce Arians in the third quarter, the receiver took off his jersey and padding and threw some of it into the crowd.
He headed for the locker room after refusing to re-enter the game — only to fire back at Arians in his own claim that his ankle was too injured to continue.
Brown’s problems rthen recently battery charges against him were dropped after a woman recanted her testimony.
Last month he had a standoff with police when they tried to arrest him, only for Brown to refuse to come outside. He was never booked.
