Celtics Star's Event Shut Down by Beverly Hills Police
16 Feb
Summary
- Jaylen Brown's brand event in Beverly Hills was shut down by police.
- Brown alleges the police action cost his brand hundreds of thousands.
- City claims the event permit was denied due to prior violations.
Jaylen Brown, a prominent figure in the NBA, voiced strong criticism against the Beverly Hills Police Department following the abrupt closure of a panel event for his brand, 741. The event, held on a Saturday evening at a private residence, was intended to discuss culture and creative control.
Brown stated that the police intervention resulted in significant financial losses, estimated in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. He described the event as a positive community gathering that was inexplicably targeted.
The City of Beverly Hills, through a statement, countered Brown's narrative, explaining that the event permit had been denied. This denial was reportedly due to prior violations associated with events at the same address, despite the owner's assertions of no prior issues.
Brown disputed the city's official statement, asserting that his team had not applied for a permit as they believed it was unnecessary for a private panel discussion. He highlighted the lack of inconvenience to neighbors and traffic, questioning the necessity of the shutdown, especially during NBA All-Star Weekend.
