Beverly Hills apologizes; Jaylen Brown still unhappy with shutdown

"Upon further internal review, the City has determined that its prior public communication contained inaccurate information," Beverly Hills said in a statement Thursday on Instagram. "Specifically, no permit application was submitted nor denied for the event and the residence does not have any prior related violations on record. The City takes full accountability for the internal error that resulted in the inaccurate statement being distributed and is working to ensure it does not happen again."

""On behalf of the City, I would like to apologize to Jaylen Brown and the Jannard family," city manager Nancy Hunt-Coffey said in Thursday's statement. "The City has a responsibility to its residents and neighborhoods to ensure adherence to established regulations for events held at private residences. These are designed to support the safety and welfare of neighbors and attendees. City staff observed circumstances that are believed to be City code violations and for that reason alone, the event was ended."

Beverly Hills issued an apology to Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown and the Jannard family after determining a prior public statement contained inaccurate information. The city said no permit application was submitted or denied for the event and the residence had no related violations on record. City staff said they observed circumstances believed to be city code violations and ended the event to support neighborhood safety and attendee welfare. The event promoted Brown’s performance brand, 741, and took place at Oakley founder Jim Jannard’s house; Brown has a sponsorship with Oakley. Brown criticized the shutdown and raised due-process concerns.
