Brittney Griner withdrew from the Women Grow Leadership Summit after discovering threatening messages, including the controversial 'Gay Baby Jail' meme, in her hotel room. Although police suggest the message may have been left by a prior guest rather than targeting Griner, her sense of safety prompted her to leave. Griner's team and Women Grow leadership expressed support for her decision, highlighting the seriousness of the situation and the need for a safe environment, particularly after her traumatic experience in a Russian prison.
Brittney Griner arrived to be with us but felt unsafe because of threatening objects and words left inside her hotel room. For her safety, she chose to return home.
Regardless of whether this was a targeted attack or an unfortunate coincidence, the entire Women Grow community and I wholeheartedly support Brittney's decision and stand with her at this time.
