ANTONIO BROWN DENIES NEW SEXUAL MISCONDUCT ALLEGATIONS

Antonio Brown strongly rejects fresh accusations, in spite of accusations in a Sports Illustrated article,  that he got naked and hit a woman artist in 2017.

"Antonio Brown has reviewed and denied that he had ever committed such actions with an artist, which has been released lately in the Sports Illustrated article," says Browns lawyer Darren Heitner.

The SI article on Monday morning cites an interview with one lady who says Brown hired her to paint a wall of his Pittsburgh-area-house in June 2017.

"There are going to be no additional comment at this point."

The woman told SI ... while she was painting the mural, he came up from behind her "naked, holding a small hand towel over his genitals."

The woman claims Brown was "flirty" with her but she paid him no mind -- but after she turned down his advances, she claims Brown "ghosted" her.

The woman says she never filed a police report or took ANY action against Brown -- and says she has no plans to pursue legal action in the future.

The woman also says Brown did pay for the artwork and they haven't spoken since.
