Free-agent wide receiver Antonio Brown is being sued for allegedly selling a fake Richard Mille watch to a man in Florida for $160,000.

Per TMZ Sports, Ryan Kane said in the lawsuit filed in Broward County this week Brown sold him the watch knowing it was a knockoff.

According to Kane, Brown told him the watch had a value "in excess of $400,000." He took it into an appraiser for authentication and insurance purposes when he was told the watch was only worth a few hundred dollars.

TMZ noted Kane was told Brown bought four watches "from a dealer in Dubai earlier this year for less than $500 apiece."

This is at least the fifth different lawsuit filed against Brown since 2019. Sean Pena, a personal trainer, sued Brown for allegedly not paying him for an offseason workout session.

Celebrity chef Stefano Tedeschi sued Brown for allegedly not paying him more than $38,000 to prepare eight meals during the NFL's All-Star week in January 2019. Anton Tumanov, a moving truck driver in Florida, accused Brown of assaulting him outside of Brown's house.

The lawsuit came after Brown pleaded no contest to charges of burglary with assault, burglary conveyance and criminal mischief following his arrest for allegedly attacking Tumanov. He was sentenced to two years probation, undergo a psychological evaluation and complete a 13-week anger management course.

Brown also agreed to settle a civil lawsuit with Britney Taylor, who accused him of sexually assaulting her, in April 2021.

Kane is suing Brown for fraud and is seeking to get his money back with interest.

Brown has been a free agent since being released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in January after he took off his jersey and pads and walked to the locker room during a game against the New York Jets.

The 34-year-old said in May he wouldn't be playing in the NFL during the 2022 season.
