The “Sex Tape Broker,” Antonio Brown And The Bucs
November 18th, 2021
Seedy turn of events.
Buried “below the fold,” as they say in the newspaper business, (a “newspaper” is a relic from a bygone century that was environmentally unfriendly and littered people’s yards and also sometimes was used as birdcage liners and for puppy toilet-training and fishwraps) might be the wildest element of this Antonio Brown deal that Joe could ever imagine.
The guy who claims Brown owes him $10,000 and outed Brown to the Tampa Bay Times for allegedly using a fake V-card hired a self-glossed “sex tape broker” from Hollywood to try to get his money from Brown.
Per the story in the Tampa Bay Times, this Steven Ruiz, Brown’s former personal chef, rather than hiring a lawyer to go after Brown for his money (Brown seems to be fond of stiffing people for services rendered) instead hired a guy referred to as a “Hollywood fixer.” Kevin Blatt describes himself as a “sex tape broker” and allegedly helped Paris Hilton make millions on her sex tape years ago.
Per Wikipedia, Blatt has worked on negotiations and distributions of sex tapes for Cameron Diaz, Colin Farrell, Kim Kardashian, Mischa Barton, Tila Tequila, Verne Troyer from Austin Powers and Kevin Hart.
So Ruiz tells the Times he couldn’t afford a lawyer to collect from Brown because he himself is broke, so he sought Blatt’s services. That is a total crock! There are enough lawyers out there who would have taken the case pro bono just for the free publicity and notoriety.
Instead, Ruiz reached out to the notorious Blatt, who allegedly called the Bucs’ legal counsel telling them they had a fake V-card problem on their hands. Of course, if Blatt tried to muscle the Bucs for cash to make this all go bye-bye, this would be an illegal shakedown.
The creator, curator and overall guru of Pro Football Talk, the great Mike Florio, (he too is a lawyer) pointed this out.
Blatt insisted to Stroud that Blatt didn’t request payment to make the story go away, acknowledging that would be extortion. It’s unclear what Blatt wanted, however, from the Buccaneers, if not money for Ruiz in exchange for Ruiz keeping quiet. Regardless, the call put the Buccaneers on notice that they may have an issue with fake vaccination cards. The NFL surely will be interested in knowing what, if anything, they did next.
Not to be overlooked, Blatt’s Twitter timeline suggests he’s a twisted zealot of a pro-vaccine crusader, rejoicing when anti-vaxxers get sick or die.
So now we’ve got a “sex tape broker” involved, one famous for making Paris Hilton millions and working to distribute/quash sex tapes of many other celebrities.
Joe is just waiting for TMZ to drop the next bombshell.
This drama is a helluva lot more fun than watching the boring Belicheats and the sorry Dixie Chicks!

Yawn

Maybe Brady was skipping around after AB told him that he hooked up Giselle and Tom for a video shoot.
November 18th, 2021 at 8:48 pm
So let me get this straight ….blatt is mark2001

Good thing we played the Patriots early. They would be killing us now.
November 18th, 2021 at 8:53 pm
But good that the Puds are wiping the field with the Fowlclowns. Maybe the NFC South can be the new NFC East and the Bucs can win the division with a losing record.

Verne Troyer banged Kevin Hart? I’ve gotta get my hands on that “little” tape!
November 18th, 2021 at 9:08 pm
If we played the Patriots this week, Mac Jones will definitely destroy the Bucs softie defense, no doubt.
November 18th, 2021 at 9:12 pm
Blatt didn’t have to extort, use your brains. All Blatt had to do was mention that he had an incriminating story, and wait for the Bucs to make an offer.
November 18th, 2021 at 9:16 pm
I would personally cough up a considerable sum not to be shown a sex tape with AB in it.
November 18th, 2021 at 9:36 pm
Oh wow Joe, looks like you’re taking JBF dot com down the same street as The National Inquirer. Never could see giving any credence whatsoever to sleazy characters like Ruiz or Blatt.
Like they say ‘Never wrestle with a pig; you both get dirty, and the pig loves it’.
November 18th, 2021 at 9:38 pm
Yeah straight National Enquirer.
November 18th, 2021 at 9:43 pm
The distractions are starting. It’s bad enough the team is injured. This is the type of garbage that can ruin the rest of the season. Who cares what’s true.
November 18th, 2021 at 10:05 pm
All I read was Cameron Diaz has a sex tape. Cameron Diaz has a sex tape?
November 18th, 2021 at 10:39 pm
This is a good way to 1) Cost Joe money; 2) get run from the site; 3) have a comment deleted. Joe is lazy tonight so he sided with No. 3. No 2 is on the table for future Crimes Against Joe infractions so in the future, tread carefully. — Joe

Hey, Joe never interviewed Ruiz or Blatt. So careful who you are calling “National Enquirer” here.
November 18th, 2021 at 10:52 pm
This is real Journalism folks….no sarcasm. It’s refreshing!

So much of story of 2021 has been about the polarization over vaccines and the battle to get the country vaccinated against COVID.
You know all this story with all its trials and permutations. But for all of this it’s worth stepping back and recognizing this fact: the United States is overwhelmingly vaccinated.
At the moment, 80% of people over the age of 12 in the United States have received at least one vaccine dose and 69% are fully vaccinated.
Overwhelmingly, adults and those eligible to be vaccinated are vaccinated. A small minority of buffoons and fools remain unvaccinated.
November 18th, 2021 at 11:17 pm
Wait – really? Cameron Diaz and a tape?
He he heh heh heh he he heee…….
November 18th, 2021 at 11:33 pm
Ha!

AB’s Lawyer: “Yes, he’s immunized”
November 18th, 2021 at 11:35 pm
What a tremendous human being. Ben is forever confused as to why Tom Brady whould have anything to do with this cretin. I’m sure super G felt really comfortable with that in the next room. The guy is a supremely gifted football player, but other than that, I can’t think of one redeeming quality the man possess. Even the guys step dad, who was around him as a young child, says he’s no good. He told people, this guy is going to hurt someone. How many receptions until your stomach turns Tommy?

About getting vaccinated… I got the J&J vax 3 months ago and still have swollen lymph nodes under the injection side ear, as I have every day since the first symptoms that occurred 3 days after vaxx. Was bad enough at one point I couldn’t chew for about a month. Still painful but now in ear. Completely healthy before. Prescription steroid knocked it down for a while but came back when prescription ended.
I wouldn’t get the vaxx again. Sorry. Doesn’t fit the narrative but it’s my real life case. Google “Long term Swollen Lymph Nodes after COVID vaccination” and you’ll find enough.

I caught VD from the vax.

I got the Moderna… migraines 3 days straight after 1st shot
Got the 2nd one… week straight of migraines… thought I was gonna stroke out… feel better now… wish I could’ve held out longer but my job was putting me under lots of pressure

Anyone paying attention knew this was going on. Not just the Bucs but all around the league. Most of them wer obtained by the players agents. They should have cracked down on a few people right away for foraging a federal document instead of just turning a blind eye to it. It’s stupid, selfish and puts the entire team and their families at risk. I just don’t understand why the coaches let this happen.
November 19th, 2021 at 12:53 am
I’m not sure if this story is hilarious or disturbing.
November 19th, 2021 at 1:29 am
Nothing to see here. If the shot made you sick you’re either a pu$$e or a liar. Migraines? What a load of bullspit.
November 19th, 2021 at 1:38 am
I got moderna. Didn’t affect me after first shot. After second shot, my shoulder hurt a little…but to be fair, the guy who gave me the second shot pinched the skin really hard.
So that probably caused the soreness.
I went with Moderna because J&J had worse side effects and was less affective.
But you know, doing something is better than doing nothing…if we ever want this nightmare to end.
November 19th, 2021 at 6:08 am
will there be a sex tape of AB smashing that white mamita girlfriend of his on pornhub ?

It’s entertaining now but what won’t be so entertaining is if there is even a sniff of truth to this and AB gets suspended for the remainder of the season. Cause you know the NFL and Roger Good for nothing can’t wait to put AB on ice again.
November 19th, 2021 at 8:03 am
These pro Vaxers that shame people are disgusting. I’m vaccinated and could care less what others do. I got the jab……but for my family as my wife is pro vax and it’s easier to just do it than get nagged. But I definitely support those that chose not too. I wouldn’t if I was single. Straight up govt over reach on something that is very new and could have consequences
November 19th, 2021 at 8:31 am
Kevin Blatt is a real life Ray Donovan but he probably doesn’t kill people. Probably…
November 19th, 2021 at 12:19 pm
Uh, theyre now referred to as just…The Chicks……Joe
November 19th, 2021 at 12:20 pm
Uh, they are now just The Chicks …Joe

As an American citizen and strong supporter of privacy laws this shouldn’t be a story. It’s hard enough these days but Dr/patient and medical records are PRIVATE and should remain that way. Anytime someone asks me about my Vax status I ask them about their sexual preference and when they say that’s non of my business and are offended, I tell them, now you know how I feel
November 19th, 2021 at 1:46 pm
No one and I mean NO ONE, is asking TB12 that question and nor should they.
November 20th, 2021 at 1:49 pm
BUCS win – your an idiot !! Do your homework before you fart out your mouth

You will never be vaxxed enough, there will come a point they want you to vax monthly.
99.7% survival rate by doing NOTHING.
Ivermectin works, just ask India, then ask yourself why US govt continues to lie about how well it works.
No, had does not lessen severity of illness, ask the fully vaccinated Viking player who is in the hospital.
Yes, there are a significant number of adverse reactions to all 3 vaxxes and those reactions in many cases are lifer altering.
Stop letting the box on the wall educate you
This whole pandemic thing is nefarious, conspiracy theory, nope, conspiracy fact.
