Jaylen Brown of the Celtics received his first-ever starting selection in the annual showcase and spent the weekend in Los Angeles participating in All-Star activities. In the new USA vs. World format on Sunday, he performed admirably for Team Stripes, scoring 15 points in three games. However, Brown had a different agenda when he stood at the platform to address the media later.

Brown and Oakley collaborated to host an event for his brand, 741, in Beverly Hills on Saturday. According to Boston Globe reporter Gary Washburn, Jaylen Brown intended to throw an All-Star Saturday night watch party at a mansion in the Trousdale neighborhood of Los Angeles.

The Beverly Hills Police Department closed it at approximately 7 p.m. PT. Brown live-streamed a conversation with one officer in which he was told he didn’t have the required permit to host such an event. Brown raged about the event on social media shortly after.

About 30 minutes after his program was canceled, Brown posted the following tweet:

“Beverly Hills is so trash I’m offended had a great panel about the future of culture with great guest people worked hard for this how dare yall,”

Following Sunday’s All-Star Game, Brown denied the allegation, calling it “completely false” and expressing his offense at the police department’s assertion that they were denied a permit yet still held the event. Brown claims that he did not require a permit because he was using the mansion with permission from James Jannard, the founder of Oakley. When questioned about the police claim, Brown stated:

“That was not true,”. “That was not true. We didn’t need a permit because the owner of the house, that was his space. We were family friends. He opened up his festivities to us. We never applied for one. There was no permit ever applied for… It was hundreds of thousands of dollars wasted for an event that was supposed to be positive. I’m offended by Beverly Hills, by the statement they put out, like we applied for something and didn’t get it and we did it anyway. Like we were insubordinate. I know how to follow the rules. I’m smart enough to follow the guidelines. It just seemed like somebody didn’t want whatever we had going on, to go on. Because out of everybody who was doing something it seems like I was the only one to get shut down. So you tell me how I should feel about it.”

“All I’m going to say is that, everybody else that did something, an activation, there seemed to be no issues,” ” It was 7 p.m. It wasn’t 10 p.m. It wasn’t 11 p.m. It wasn’t 12 p.m. 7 p.m. in the day and we’re doing a panel. We’re doing stuff that’s positive. There’s nobody that was inconvenienced. There was nobody that was inconvenienced. It wasn’t blocking traffic. It’s All-Star Weekend. It’s Saturday night and it’s 7 p.m. What are we talking about? And the city had an ordinance to shut us down. No matter what the owner of the house said, no matter what we tried to reason with them.

“There was no working with them. They didn’t try to work with us. They didn’t try to have a conversation and they shut everything down. So the statement they put out there was completely false. I stand by that.”
