"Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown is not satisfied with an apology he received from the city of Beverly Hills on Thursday, days after police shut down an event he was hosting in the city's Trousdale Estates neighborhood. The apology was not for shutting down the event. Instead, it was for including what the city called "inaccurate information" in its initial statement about the event."
"The promotional event for Brown's performance brand, 741, was held last weekend at the home of Oakley founder Jim Jannard on the eve of the NBA All-Star Game at Intuit Dome. It was scheduled to include a panel discussion featuring National Basketball Players Assn. president Andre Iguodala followed by an after-party with around 200 invited guests. In an X post after his event was stopped, Brown wrote, "300k down the drain.""
"Brown told ESPN's Andscape he is considering legal action against the city after it "embarrassed my brand and my team" and then continued "to tell untruths in [its] apology statement.""
Jaylen Brown hosted a private promotional event for his performance brand 741 at Oakley founder Jim Jannard's Trousdale Estates home on the eve of the NBA All-Star Game. Beverly Hills police shut down the gathering, which had a planned panel with NBPA president Andre Iguodala and an after-party for about 200 guests. The city later apologized for including inaccurate permit information in its initial statement but maintained the shutdown was based on alleged code violations. Brown said he lost $300,000, called the city's response biased, and is considering legal action for reputational and financial damages.
