Former San Francisco 49ers Hall of Fame wide receiver Terrell Owens is accusing his former manager of 15 plus years, Heather Masalam, of stealing money from him, causing him years of financial trauma.
Owens posted a series of screenshots and photos on Sunday that featured receipts and text messages between he and Mesalam on Instagram.
In the caption, he called her “a liar and a thief,” and confirmed that she is no longer working for him in any capacity.
“I haven’t always used my voice when I should,” Owens wrote. “ But I got time today.”
In the post, Owens screenshotted a receipt that was emailed to him by Mesalam that was followed by a text message conversation in the next slide between the two, confronting her about a $200 pay increase he claims he never approved of.
In the photos, Mesalam is seen responding to his accusations by saying he approved of her pay increase in January.
In the caption, Owens said he was debating on if he should take the situation public because of the questions that would come afterwards.
But he noted that if it was him who had stolen from someone, it would be talked about on blogs and by “Talking heads at ESPN.”
He added that with the recent news of professional athletes taking their own lives due to mental health struggles, and people wondering why they would do that, “This is why,” Owens wrote.
“With the recent deaths of football players by suicide and for my own mental sanity I need to get this off my chest,” Owens said. “Heather Mesalam, it’s people like you that think you can just steal from me and think that you’re going to get away with it.”
Mesalam did not respond to request to comment from The Post.
