Brittney Griner cancels speech after finding threatening note in hotel room
Briefly

Brittney Griner's planned appearance at the Women Grow Leadership Summit was abruptly called off after she discovered an alarming note with the words "Gay Baby Jail" in her hotel room. Although local police found no evidence of a targeted threat, the phrase is reportedly a reference from a video game. Griner's prior experience with cannabis-related issues during her arrest in Russia heightens the situation's sensitivity, and Women Grow CEO Chanda Macias emphasized the importance of Griner's safety and ongoing investigations regarding the incident.
At the time the tape was located, a large convention was taking place at the Gaylord which attracts thousands of people, many with an interest in anime as well as video game enthusiasts.
We are actively working with the venue and authorities to investigate how this happened and hold those responsible accountable. The safety of every woman at this convention is our top priority.
