Antonio Brown Ordered to Pay $1.095M for Crystalized Finger Covers

A Los Angeles Court Orders Antonio Brown to Pay $1,095,000 to Shuki International

Antonio Brown, the former NFL player, has been instructed by a Los Angeles Superior Court judge to compensate Shuki International, the maker of crystal finger cover jewelry, with an amount totaling $1,095,000. This decree was issued due to Brown’s failure to return the borrowed items to their rightful owner.

Unfulfilled Communication and Defiant Attitude

Jean Louis Shuki, the individual behind the creation of the jewelry pieces, has expressed frustration as Brown has consistently ignored his attempts at contact following the court’s ruling. According to Shuki, Brown conveyed his refusal to comply by stating, “U caint [sic] get s–t cracker.”

In response to the legal mandate, Brown has remained resolute in his stance, insisting that the court’s decision will not influence his actions. He, now identifying as a “rapper,” contends that the finger covers enhance his libido and contribute to heightened sensations during intimate encounters, as relayed by Shuki.

Shuki, emphasizing the significance of the jewelry inspired by Michael Jackson’s iconic peace sign gesture, stated, “He’s a fanatic for the fingers. At this point, I don’t want the judgment, I just want the fingers back. They’re like the Mona Lisa.”

Background of the Dispute

The altercation stems from Brown’s alleged failure to return or compensate Jean Louis Shuki for a set of signature diamond fingers. Shuki, a renowned creator who has crafted pieces for celebrities like Floyd Mayweather, entrusted Brown with these valuable items, valued at approximately $500,000 per finger, with the expectation of either restitution or the return of the pieces.

In addition to the diamond fingers, Shuki asserts that he provided Brown with a rose gold black diamond set of fingers, a white gold chain, and a ring, all given in good faith that Brown would honor the agreement. TMZ has reported on these developments.

Despite his athletic endeavors coming to a halt in 2021, Antonio Brown’s financial troubles persist, with reports of overdue child support payments and unresolved financial obligations to his former Arena Football League team, the Albany Empire.

While Brown’s professional football career includes stints with teams like the Pittsburgh Steelers, New England Patriots, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, his current endeavors as a musician and his refusal to adhere to legal obligations have drawn significant attention.
