Ex-NFL star Antonio Brown was accused of misleading the court about his health, to reschedule an important hearing but then showing up on Joe Rogan’s podcast hours later, In Touch can exclusively report.

The trustee presiding over Antonio’s bankruptcy slammed him in a motion asking the court to covert the case from a Chapter 11 to a Chapter 7, where the trustee would likely have more authority of Antonio’s finances.

The trustee also suggested dismissing the entire bankruptcy.

In the motion, the trustee claimed a hearing took place on March 5 on Antonio’s proposed plan to pay his debt. Antonio’s lawyer told the court their client was unable to attend the hearing due to “medical-related” issues.

The trustee said the court granted Antonio a continuance and postponed the hearing.

However, the trustee said it learned that Antonio was “not in poor health” and that he “participated as an invited guest on The Joe Rogan Experience (a podcast) for 98 minutes the next very next day in Austin, Texas.”

The trustee included a photo that Antonio posted to X showing him at Joe’s podcast studio.

On top of the Joe Rogan podcast appearance issue, the trustee had questions about Antonio’s financial numbers submitted in the case.

The trustee wrote, “[Antonio’s] fourth amended schedules disclose monthly income of $35,000 and monthly expenses of $27,927. These figures, when compared to the income and expenses reported on the monthly operating reports, are negligently or intentionally misleading.”

The trustee argued, “The Debtor’s gross mismanagement by failing to accurately report income and expenses is cause for dismissal or conversion.”
