Brees relayed the message in a textual content to ESPN Saints reporter Katherine Terrell … simply hours after footage surfaced seemingly exhibiting the ex-New Orleans quarterback at risk.

Within the clip, which was apparently shot whereas Brees was filming a industrial for the sports activities playing platform PointsBet in Catumbo — an space in Venezuela recognized for its constant thunderstorm exercise — you may see a lightning bolt making a beeline for Brees’ again.

The footage exhibits the bolt cracked onto the bottom, sending the 43-year-old former soccer participant and others scurrying away from the scene in a rush.

It is unclear if it was all pretend, staged or edited … PointsBet refused to verify or deny the state of affairs in an announcement launched Friday morning.

“We are aware of the media coverage regarding PointsBet brand ambassador Drew Brees,” the org. mentioned.

“We are in communication with Brees’ team and will continue to monitor events throughout the coming hours. At this stage we will not be making any further comment.”
