Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown called the City of Beverly Hills’ explanation for shutting down his brand event Saturday night “completely false,” disputing the account provided about why the event was halted.
Brown’s comments came after the shutdown of the event, which drew attention because of his profile as a leading player for the reigning NBA champion Celtics. Brown has been a central figure for Boston, serving as one of the team’s top two-way wings.
Brown challenges the city’s account
Brown did not accept Beverly Hills’ stated reasoning for the shutdown, saying the explanation offered was inaccurate. His response directly refuted the city’s account of what led to the decision to end the event.
The disagreement leaves two competing versions of the situation: Brown’s assertion that the city’s explanation was false, and Beverly Hills’ description of the circumstances surrounding the shutdown.
