Cincinnati Bengals offensive tackle Orlando Brown Jr. is the subject of a civil lawsuit filed by his ex-girlfriend Holly Means, alleging he has withheld her personal property following their breakup in June 2025. Means claims Brown forced her to leave his home without collecting her belongings, which she says are now spread across multiple locations including Oklahoma and Kansas City. Brown disputes these claims, stating that Means abandoned the items and later returned unannounced in an attempt to collect them. He seeks to have the lawsuit dismissed and denies any wrongdoing, asserting her motivations involve anger over their separation. Means is seeking more than $25,000 in damages and the return of her property.
