Was ex-NFL quarterback Drew Bees struck by lightning in Venezuela? Details here

Drew Brees, a former NFL quarterback, reportedly experienced a lightning strike in Venezuela while filming a campaign for PointsBet Sportsbook. The football world is in a frenzy after learning about the viral video Rafael Hernandez posted at 1:00 on December 2.

In the footage, Brees is seen being struck by a strong lightning bolt. The Catatumbo River, which is allegedly a lightning and thunder hotspot, is where the footage was allegedly recorded.

PointsBet Sportsbook has issued a statement regarding Brees following the incident saying it will continue to "watch" developments in the ensuing hours.


PointsBet Sportsbook tweeted that they are aware of the media attention given to Drew Brees, the brand ambassador for PointsBet. They said that they are in touch with Brees' team and will keep an eye on the situation over the next few hours. They would not be adding any more commentary at this time.


Brees wrote on Twitter earlier this week that he was looking forward to travelling to a top-secret location to film a commercial for PointsBetUSA.

When Brees displayed his excitement on Monday, this definitely wasn't the outcome he had anticipated. Although it's still unclear, considering the comment issued by PointsBet Sportsbook, one has to assume that Brees being struck by lightning wasn't a part of the promotion. Brees is allegedly not in the severe condition as a result, if the video is authentic and if he really did experience a lightning hit.

According to several recent allegations, Brees wasn't really struck by lightning, and the entire incident was staged.
