Jaylen Brown Says “The Damage Is Done” After the City of Beverly Hills Apologized for Ruining His Event
A wild incident took place over the weekend, and we are not talking about the NBA Slam Dunk Contest. Celtics superstar Jaylen Brown was hosting a pop-up event at a Beverly Hills home to promote his brand, 741Performance. However, the event was shut down by the Beverly Hills Police Department.
But why? Apparently, Brown and the homeowner were required to have a permit to hold such a gathering at a private residence. However, here is the thing: Brown did have the permit.
While speaking to the media about the incident, Brown suggested that the city of Beverly Hills shut it down because of the content being offered at the pop-up.
The Beverly Hills Police Department later released a statement apologizing to Brown and the homeowner, admitting they were completely in the wrong. It seemed as though the issue had been put to rest. However, Brown was not ready to forgive so easily. He quote-tweeted the apology and delivered a savage response for the world to see.
“Thank you for [the] apology @BeverlyHillsPD, but [the] damage is already done, and I can’t recreate that moment again. And what about resources/partners lost? In a moment that was supposed to be celebrated, you embarrassed me and my brand @741Performance,” Brown wrote on X.

Brown has every right to throw shade at the police. The fact that all the proper protocols were followed and the event was still shut down is a bad look for Beverly Hills. Either Brown is right, and this was intentional, or there was a blatant error made.
Sure, human error exists, and things can slip through the cracks at times. But situations like this happen far too often in this day and age, particularly in America. Brown is one of the most educated and outspoken players in the league. So do not expect him to stay quiet about this anytime soon.
Controversy has a funny way of amplifying the very thing it tries to hush. And now more people know about 741Performance than they did before the police showed up. If Brown channels that frustration the way he usually does, this will not be remembered as a setback.
It will simply be another chapter in the story of the Boston Celtics star, who has no problem turning obstacles into momentum. After all, that’s what he has done on the court this season, in the absence of the team’s face, Jayson Tatum.
