Former NFL star Antonio Brown was seen taking a lie detector test during a livestream, just one day after pleading not guilty to an attempted-murder charge.
The troubled former NFL star is facing up to 30 years in prison after being accused of firing two shots at another man during a melee outside a Miami boxing event in May.
After his attorney entered the plea last week, and demanded a trial by jury, Brown and his attorney Mark Eiglarsh appeared separately via Zoom to submit the not-guilty plea at a formal arraignment early Monday morning.
Less than 24 hours later, the former Steelers star was seen on a live stream with Adin Ross who, coincidentally, is the influencer who ran the Miami boxing event in May.
In clips seen on live stream platform Kick, Ross and the other influencers all greeted Brown, while noting how ‘happy’ and ‘healthy’ he looked.
As the stream progressed, the former wide receiver partook in a ‘lie detector test’ and was quizzed by others in the room – including rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine.

The questions centered around his time in the NFL, with Brown providing his opinion on who the greatest quarter back of all-time – to which he said Tom Brady.
Brown was also asked if he regretted walking off the field during the Tampa Bay Buccaneers game against the New York Jets back in 2022.
He bluntly replied: ‘No’, which the lie detector official claimed was true.
The former NFL star made no comment about his attempted-murder charge.
On Monday afternoon, the judge ended the arraignment by setting the next status hearing date for December 22.
At a hearing last Wednesday, Brown – who wore a red prison jumpsuit – was granted a $25,000 bond after the judge denied the state’s motion to keep him behind bars before his trial.
He was instead put under level three house arrest, which allows him to work and means he is not subject to a curfew. The 37-year-old must wear an electronic monitor that tracks his movements and faces additional charges if he cuts it off.
He had been placed in an isolated cell – for his own protection – at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in Miami. Last Monday, Eiglarsh entered the not-guilty plea on his behalf.

Brown, who won the Super Bowl during his time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, was taken into US Marshals custody after arriving from Dubai, where he had been since the shooting. Authorities in Florida issued an arrest warrant on a second-degree murder charge in June.
According to a statement from Eiglarsh last week, Brown was legally acting in self defense during the melee.
‘I took this case because I passionately believe in Brown’s defense,’ Eiglarsh wrote in a statement provided to Daily Mail. ‘The actions he was forced to take were solely in self-defense against the alleged victim’s violent behavior.
‘Brown was attacked that night and acted within his legal right to protect himself from an individual who previously committed criminal acts against him. It’s a privilege to represent him, and I am determined to ensure that justice is served.’
In a video from the fight night , organized by online influencer Adin Ross at Miami’s Brand Risk Warehouse, Brown could be seen brawling with a group of men. He claimed they were attempting to ‘steal my jewelry and cause physical harm to me’. Brown later appeared to pull out a gun before shots were fired.
He did not fight his extradition from New Jersey to Florida when given the opportunity last week. On Tuesday morning, a viral video recorded by Fox Sports Radio’s Andy Slater showed the handcuffed Super Bowl winner walking down a set of jetway stairs.
Brown first claimed his innocence after the shooting back in May, insisting he was defending himself.
