Chad Johnson, six-time Pro Bowl NFL receiver turned reality TV star is faced with losing his 6,000-square-foot mansion in Davie, FL to foreclosure. The residence at 2899 Juniper Lane was foreclosed on earlier this month and will be put up for public auction in April.
“Chad Ochocinco,” as he is commonly referred to grew up in Miami and spent the prime of his career with the Cincinnati Bengals, where he caught more than 1,000 receiving yards in seven of his first nine seasons. He legally changed his name to Chad Javon Ochocinco, in honor of his jersey number, 85 in 2008. He later changed his name back to “Johnson” in an effort to “find himself.” He also starred in a reality-TV dating series called Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch , which ran for a single season on VH1 in 2010.
After playing for the New England Patriots in 2011 he signed with the Miami Dolphins, but before the season began, he was arrested for domestic battery and was cut from the team. In February 2015, the Long Lake Ranches West Homeowners Association placed a lien on Johnson’s home, claiming he owed more than $3,500. After not paying, the association sued and on March 1, a Broward County judge officially granted a final motion of foreclosure on Johnson’s home. The home is currently worth approximately $1.1 million, according to property records. The home will be posted for sale at broward.realforeclose.com on April 15.
