Bengals star Orlando Brown Jr. is being sued by his ex-girlfriend for civil theft.
Holly Means is accusing him of refusing to return her property, according to TMZ.
She is reportedly seeking $25K in damages.
Brown and Means broke up in June 2025, when she claims he forced her to leave their Ohio home — where the pair lived with their two kids — without notice and before she could collect her belongings.
Means claimed some of her belongings are now in Oklahoma and Kansas City (Brown played collegiately at Oklahoma and with the Chiefs in his previous NFL stint) and that Brown has prevented her from retrieving them — including during a January 2026 incident when she showed up with police but Brown refused to answer the door, the outlet added.
Means claims Brown is acting out of “anger and spite” over their breakup and her decision to move with their two kids to Oregon.
Brown denied the accusations, claiming that Means came to his home unannounced after he asked her not to and that she abandoned her property after the breakup.
Brown and Means, a fashion influencer, went public with their relationship in 2019 and welcomed their sons, Orlando Brown III and Sonny Brown, in 2021 and 2023, respectively.
Brown, an offensive lineman, is a four-time Pro Bowler who notably won Super Bowl 2023 with the Chiefs as a starting tackle.
A third-round pick by the Ravens in 2018, he spent his first three seasons in the league with Baltimore before being traded to the Chiefs in a blockbuster deal in 2021.
He played two seasons with the Chiefs before signing a lucrative four-year, $64 million deal with the Bengals as a free agent in 2023.
Brown signed a two-year, $32 million extension with the franchise this offseason.
