BTRN – The City of Beverly Hills has issued an apology to NBA All-Star Jaylen Brown after admitting its earlier public statement about shutting down his brand event was inaccurate. Officials first suggested the event violated permit rules and referenced prior issues at the residence, but later clarified no permit was ever submitted or denied and no previous violations existed.

Brown says the gathering was a private, invitation-only event held at a private residence around 7 p.m., well before local noise curfews. According to his team, music was shut off early, traffic was not blocked, and organizers had even contacted police beforehand about hiring an off-duty officer, which was declined. They say no evidence of any ordinance violation was ever presented.

Brown argues the shutdown was based on biased or incorrect information, raising due-process concerns and causing financial and reputational damage. While the city apologized and called the situation an internal error, Brown maintains the apology came only after harm had already been done.
