Cincinnati Bengals offensive tackle Orlando Brown Jr. has a legal battle on his hands, and this one has nothing to do with football.

Brown's former girlfriend, Holly Means, is suing the four-time Pro Bowler for civil theft, alleging that he has refused to return her belongings following the end of their longtime relationship, according to court documents obtained by TMZ.
Means claims she lived with Brown and their two children at his Ohio home until the couple split in June 2025.
According to the lawsuit, Brown forced Means to leave without notice, preventing her from collecting all of her belongings. She alleges that some of the property remains at locations in Oklahoma and Kansas City and that Brown has blocked her attempts to retrieve it.
Means claims she even arrived at Brown's home with police in January in an attempt to collect her property, but Brown allegedly refused to answer the door.
She accuses the Bengals lineman of acting out of "anger and spite" over their breakup and her decision to move back to Oregon with their children.
Means is seeking more than $25,000 in damages, the return of her property and punitive damages.
Brown denies the allegations.
He claims Means arrived at his home unannounced after being asked not to and argues that she abandoned the property when she left following their breakup. Brown is seeking to have the lawsuit dismissed with prejudice.
The 30-year-old Brown has played for the Baltimore Ravens, Kansas City Chiefs and Bengals during his NFL career. He won Super Bowl LVII with Kansas City and signed a new two-year, $32 million contract with Cincinnati in March.
Now he'll be dealing with a dispute away from the field, too.
