Controversial figure Antonio Brown has played with fire by sharing an AI-generated picture of him kissing Taylor Swift. The singer, who is Travis Kelce's girlfriend, was recently the victim of another AI photo scandal.
Brown, who used to catch passes in the NFL, posted a somewhat strange snap on X. In the picture, he's wearing his old Pittsburgh Steelers kit and planting a kiss on Swift in front of a packed out stadium.
"Move over Jizelle, what these Swifties talkin bout?" he captioned it, aiming digs at both Swift and Gisele Bundchen, who used to be married to american football legend Tom Brady.

Swifties saw the post and immediately launched into a defence of the pop star, one responded: "It's over for you buddy. Good luck." Another said: "You're definitely getting sued."

When fake photos of a sexually explicit nature spread on X recently, Swift's fanbase found out who made them and shared his details, including his face, where he lives, and his name. Swift was even rumored to be considering a lawsuit against Elon Musk as a result of the pictures spreading on X.
As a result, users were unable to search " Taylor Swift " for a short period as X engineers tried to take down all of the inappropriate photos. The fake images of Swift had become so widespread that even the White House commented on how the attack on Swift affected women and young girls all over the world.

This isn't the first time Brown has acted out. In 2022, he famously played his last NFL game in Week 17 against the New York Jets. During the third quarter of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 28-24 victory over the Jets, Brown stripped off his jersey, shoulder pads, gloves and shirt, running around shirtless on the sidelines before heading to the locker room. He was let go by Tampa Bay shortly after and hasn't played professionally since.
