Antonio Brown hasn’t shied away from his support for Donald Trump over the past couple of months but the controversial NFL star has now revealed why Kamala Harris never attracted his vote.
Brown has been a consistent supporter of Trump throughout his latest bid for the White House, often joining the president-elect on the campaign trail.
However, during a recent interview with Caresha Brownlee, better known by her stage name Yung Miami, the Super Bowl winner was pressed on why Trump won his vote over the black female candidate and Brown admitted he believed women were too emotional.
Caresha, an American rapper, asked Brown why he believed Harris, who is of black and South Asian heritage, lost his vote to the Republican.
‘You think a woman can run for president?’ a surprised Brown interjected, seemingly left baffled at the suggestion of a woman in office.
‘I think black women are powerful,’ Caresha hit back. ‘Women are powerful. We go through a lot. We take care of men.’

‘I know but there’s a lot of emotions with women,’ Brown shockingly replied, rolling out the age-old sexist argument against women holding positions of power.
Earlier in the sit-down interview on Caresha’s podcast, ‘Caresha Please,’ Brown had suggested that the rapper and influencer should publicly back Trump.
Despite his past support of the president-elect, Caresha appeared to be left shocked by Brown’s statement as she asked: ‘Oh you support Donald Trump?’
‘I think you should too,’ Brown insisted, refusing to back down under the 30-year-old’s questioning. ‘I think he’s gonna be a good president.’
Caresha went on to quiz Brown on how Trump’s policies could benefit the black community once he returns to the Oval Office.
Brown struggled to provide a concrete answer, instead dodging the question by responding: ‘I think he’s trying to do more for black people but it’s up to us to fight for what we want.’
Brown and fellow ex-NFL player Le’Veon Bell joined Trump at a Republican rally in Pennsylvania last month, with Brown even addressing the crowd to ramp up support for the former president.
‘Before I get too deep in my speech, I know the media’s gonna call me crazy,’ the controversial ex-wide receiver said. ‘Me and Trump crazy for having me speaking here.

‘But I wanna make this clear… we are not. They are.’
Brown then went on to take aim at Harris and vice presidential candidate Tim Walz, even branding the latter ‘tampon Tim’.
‘Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, you really know they wanna put tampons in the boys’ bathroom,’ he added. ‘Is that crazy? That’s really insane right.
‘And by the way, tampon Tim Walz, he isn’t a real football coach. He could never guard me.’
Brown and Bell, who was heavily criticized for wearing a shirt containing a vile insult about Harris, greeted Trump on the tarmac as he touched down in Pittsburgh for a recent NFL game between the Steelers and the New York Jets, having also helped register new voters outside the Acrisure Stadium before kickoff.
Brown has since stayed in the good graces of President-elect Donald Trump by attending his exclusive Mar-a-Lago gala in Florida just two days after the November 5 election.
Brown posed for a photo with the former and future President and posted it to his account on X. The controversial former Pittsburgh Steeler also posted a group photo where he is standing next to Elon Musk .
Brown’s path to an NFL outcast began in 2018, when he allegedly skipped several practices and began to get into arguments with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.

Ultimately Brown forced a trade to the Oakland Raiders, who signed him to a three-year $54 million extension, only to void much of the compensation amid a series of internal disagreements with coach Jon Gruden and general manager Mike Mayock.
Brown was released by the Raiders before ever playing a game in Oakland and soon signed with the New England Patriots in September of 2019.
But the drama for Brown was far from over.
A woman who had worked for Brown as a personal trainer sued him for sexual assault and the Patriots released him after only a few weeks as other allegations of sexual misconduct began to surface.
He ultimately settled with the trainer as well as the family of a child who was hurt in 2019 when Brown threw furniture from the balcony of his Florida apartment.
Despite the receiver’s behavior, Tom Brady helped to convince the Buccaneers to bring Brown into the fold in 2020 and the pair would ultimately win a Super Bowl together. But the good times couldn’t last, and after a sideline spat with coaches the following season, Brown famously discarded his uniform on the sidelines of MetLife Stadium and walked out on his NFL career in the middle of a game against the Jets.
Since then, he’s been accused of exposing himself to a woman at a hotel in Dubai, arrested on accusations of domestic violence, and has faced numerous allegations of failing to pay child support.
He even briefly owned the Albany Empire of the National Arena League, only to have the league terminate his franchise agreement due to his failure to pay fines and dues.
And in May, Brown filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy with $2.93 million owed to eight creditors. One major issue for Brown, according to the filing, is $1.2 million in debt from his settlement with the former personal trainer who accused him of sexual assault.
Somehow, despite reportedly earning more than $80 million over a dozen NFL seasons, Brown claims to have less than $50,000 in assets.
