The long-simmering feud between former Pittsburgh Steelers stars Antonio Brown and Ben Roethlisberger just took an explosive and deeply personal turn. In a trending social media post that’s lit up the NFL world, Brown claimed he had a relationship with Roethlisberger’s sister—specifically during the 2011 Pro Bowl.
“Hooked up with Ben’s sister at the Pro Bowl back in 2011,” Brown wrote, adding fuel to a fire that has been smoldering since their messy breakup with the Steelers.
The stunning allegation, which remains unverified, is the latest twist in a saga that has seen Brown take frequent public shots at Roethlisberger over the years. Once the NFL’s most dangerous quarterback-wide receiver duo, the two helped lead the Steelers to multiple playoff runs and were seen as a nearly unstoppable tandem on the field.
But behind the scenes, tensions were growing. Their fallout reached a breaking point in 2018 when Brown forced his way out of Pittsburgh, citing lack of respect and fractured chemistry with Roethlisberger. Since then, he’s taken repeated jabs at his former quarterback in interviews, on social media, and even through music and memes.
This latest revelation—or accusation—crosses a new line, veering away from professional criticism and into deeply personal territory. It’s unclear whether Roethlisberger will respond publicly, but fans and media alike are bracing for potential fallout.
Neither Roethlisberger nor anyone from his family has commented on the claim as of Tuesday afternoon.
While some fans have dismissed Brown’s post as another attention-grabbing moment, others are shocked by the level of personal detail and the potential damage it could cause. Whether truth or trolling, it’s another wild chapter in a feud that shows no signs of cooling down.
Stay tuned—this story may only be getting started.
