Antonio Brown’s latest post just broke the internet and not in a good way. During Pride Month, he decided to troll Chicago Bears rookie QB Caleb Williams with a bizarre, nearly-nude, photoshopped image, and the reaction online is chaotic.
Antonio Brown posts doctored nude photo of Caleb Williams during Pride Month and no one knows why
Antonio Brown, never one to back down from attention-grabbing posts, shared an edited image showing a nude parade-goer at a Pride event, only the person’s face was replaced with that of Caleb Williams. He posted it with the caption: “#LGBTQIAHappyPrideMonth”
The photo originally appears to be from a Pride parade, with a rainbow flag and tambourines but with Caleb’s smiling face awkwardly photoshopped onto the nearly-naked body wearing nothing but a feathered headdress.
It was clearly meant to go viral, and it did.
Fans are calling it disrespectful, homophobic, and creepy, especially during Pride Month
Almost instantly, the replies and reposts started pouring in. While some shrugged it off as typical AB trolling, many fans called the post “gross,” “disrespectful,” and “targeted harassment.”

This post only adds fuel to that fire, with some calling it a dog whistle aimed at mocking his masculinity or suggesting things about his identity without actually saying it outright.
