Jaylen Brown “offended” by Beverly Hills’ post-event cancellation statement

Celtics All-Star Jaylen Brown attacked the Beverly Hills Police Department due to shutting down the panel he hosted during All-Star Weekend on Saturday. After Sunday’s game, Brown rejected the statement announced BHPD during his postgame media availability, according to Baxter Holmes of ESPN.

“I’m offended by Beverly Hills for the statement they made, like we applied for something and we didn’t get it, and we still did it (and) we were disobedient,” Brown said after the NBA All-Star Game. “I know how to follow the rules. I’m smart enough to follow the guidelines. It seemed like someone didn’t want whatever we had going on, because of everyone who was doing something, it seemed like I was the only one who got locked up.”

Brown claims the event was peaceful, full of fans, social media influencers and NBA players like the Celtics’ All-Star forward.

Brown he didn’t hold back while calling out the Beverly Hills police on his X, formerly Twitter.

“Beverly Hills is so trash I’m offended I had a great panel on the future of culture with great guests who worked hard for this how dare you,” he wrote.

“For a little more context, police came to shut down Jaylen Brown’s panel in Beverly Hills around 7 p.m., claiming he didn’t file the proper permit,” ClutchPoint’s Daniel Donabedian reported on X.

“I know I’m playing for the Celtics and I know we’re in LA. But hey, I didn’t think you’d treat me like this,” Brown said, via a video he posted on social media showing him interacting with police dispatched to the event.
