Following Luigi Mangione’s arrest for fatally shooting healthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Midtown Manhattan, a former NFL player made a disgusting social media statement on Monday.
Mangione, 26, is the primary suspect in the death of former UnitedHealthcare executive Thompson, 50, on December 4. On Monday afternoon, ex-Steelers receiver Antonio Brown responded to the ongoing drama with an off-color remark.
Brown, who is no stranger to disturbing social media posts and has claimed to have CTE, tweeted a photo of Sean Stellato, the agent of Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito, and made unfounded claims that he was related to Mangione. ‘Yes, I’m phoning on behalf of my client, Luigi Mangione,’ Brown wrote beside a photo of the agent on the phone on X.
Brown is noted for his crude and often absurd posts to his 2.3 million followers, including a homophobic attack on Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz and a weird selfie of himself and Tom Brady’s ex-wife, Gisele Bundchen.
Mangione was arrested at a McDonald’s Altoona, Pennsylvania , at 9am after both a worker and an elderly patron spotted him and called the police.
He was arrested on firearm charges and was carrying a ‘ghost gun’, which was thought to have been manufactured with a 3D printer. The suspected murderer was also a fan of Ted Kaczynski, the ‘Unabomber’, and had quotes from him about health and illness on his Goodreads page.
‘Imagine a society that forces people to conditions that make them extremely unhappy and then provides them medications to alleviate their misery,’ read one passage from a Kaczynski quotation on Mangione’s Goodreads page. ‘The concept of’mental health’ in our culture is determined mostly by the extent to which an individual behaves in accordance with the system’s needs while remaining stress-free,’ read another.
He was also discovered with a manifesto, which purportedly proved he was enraged by the healthcare sector and its profits.
