Well well well. Nothing spices up a regular day in California like a little he-said, they-said drama. And this time, the star of the show is Jaylen Brown.
So here’s the situation.
An Oakley event gets shut down in glamorous Beverly Hills, police roll in, vibes roll out, cameras catch everything and suddenly, we have a full-blown permit plot twist.
According to the Beverly Hills Police Department, the event permit had been applied for and denied. Why? Because of previous violations tied to events at that address. Translation: “Y’all have history.”
But wait, Jaylen Brown said, “Not so fast.”
In his version of events, no permit was even applied for in the first place, which means, according to him, the police statement is basically false with a badge.
And now the internet is grabbing popcorn.
Because this isn’t just about sunglasses and good lighting. This is about paperwork.
Jaylen Brown says the Beverly Hills statement was FALSE
“That was not true. There was no permit ever applied for. Jim Jannard, he's the the creator of Oakley. I'm a brand partner in Oakley. They opened up the house to me.”

Jaylen didn’t whisper his frustration. He called it out, publicly, directly with no filter. He basically said, “If no one applied for a permit, how can you deny it?” That’s math, and last time we checked, math usually wins.
Here is the Beverley Hills Police Department statement:
“On Saturday, February 14, the Beverly Hills Police Department (BHPD) responded to an event taking place at a private residence in the Trousdale neighborhood of the City. An event permit had been applied for and denied by the City due to previous violations associated with events at the address.
Despite the fact that the permit was denied, organizers still chose to proceed with inviting hundreds of guests knowing that it was not allowed to occur. BHPD responded and shut down the unpermitted event.”
Jaylen Brown wasn’t having it and had to jump in quickly to trash the statement.
“That was not true. There was no permit ever applied for. Jim Jannard, he’s the the creator of Oakley. I’m a brand partner in Oakley. They opened up the house to me.”
“It was hundreds of thousands of dollars wasted for an event that was supposed to be positive. ,I’m offended by the Beverly Hills statement they put out like we applied for (a permit.).”
And the sarcasm writes itself. Nothing says “California sunshine” like a public disagreement over event permits.
At the end of the day, the Oakley shades may block UV rays, but they cannot block controversy.
Stay with BSO because when celebrities and city officials start arguing about paperwork, it’s never just about paperwork.
