Patriots wide receiver Antonio Brown, already facing a rape/sexual assault lawsuit, is being accused of more sexual misconduct.

Brown made his Patriots debut Sunday, in a 43-0 win at the Dolphins, after NFL commissioner Roger Goodell opted to not put him on the commissioner’s exempt list before the game. (But that could still happen at some point this season.)

The NFL is investigating the initial rape/sexual assault allegations against Brown, and will reportedly speak with Brown and Britney Taylor, who is suing him. Brown has not been charged with a crime. He said he and Taylor had a completely consensual sexual relationship.

The latest allegations of sexual misconduct by Brown come from a Sports Illustrated story. SI spoke with a woman whom Brown hired to paint a mural at his house.

And here’s what the woman told SI, about what happened on the second day of her job:

“I’m on my knees painting the [mural], and he walks up to me butt-ass naked, with a hand cloth covering his [penis] and starts having a conversation with me. Unfortunately, I’ve been tried [by men] a lot of times, so I just kept my cool and kept painting. After that, it all ended abruptly.”

Brown denied these latest allegations through his lawyer.

Though the allegations aren’t as serious as the ones Taylor made in her lawsuit, they are still extremely disturbing. And the NFL surely will look into this incident of sexual harassment/misconduct, in addition to Taylor’s claims, as the league determines if Brown should be suspended under its personal conduct policy.

Just because Goodell didn’t put Brown on his exempt list entering Brown’s Week 2 debut with the Patriots — after Brown forced his way out in Oakland before the season began — doesn’t mean Goodell can’t eventually bench Brown, even if the league’s investigation is still ongoing.
