The Jaylen Brown vs. City of Beverly Hills drama isn\u2019t stopping anytime soon.<\/p>\n
Speaking to Andscape<\/a> after the Celtics\u2019 121-110 victory over the Warriors on Thursday night, Brown expressed that he continues to feel disrespected by the City of Beverly Hills and is considering legal action following the events that occurred Feb. 14 at the Beverly Hills home owned by Oakley founder Jim Jannard.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not a legality type of pursuing guy, but you embarrassed my brand and my team. And I think that is unfair,\u201d Brown told Andscape. \u201cAnd for you to continue to tell untruths in your apology statement, I feel offended by it. I will circle back with my team this weekend, and we will make a decision.\u201d<\/p>\n Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown brings the ball up the court against the Golden State Warriors during the first half of an NBA basketball game in San Francisco, Thursday, Feb. 19, 2026.

In the video, the NBA guard asks the cop \u201cfor a clear reason\u201d why the event is being shut down, adding he feels \u201ctargeted.\u201d<\/p>\n Jaylen Brown\u2019s Beverly Hills party is shut down for not having the correct permit.

I feel like we\u2019re being targeted,\u201d the frustrated NBA star says to the camera.<\/p>\n Sunday, Feb. 15 | City of Beverly Hills issues statement, Brown responds<\/p>\n According to a statement given to The Boston Globe<\/a> the following morning, the City of Beverly Hills rejected a permit for the event.<\/p>\n \u201cOn 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,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n \u201cDespite 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.\u201d<\/p>\n Jaylen Brown\u2019s Beverly Hills party is shut down for not having the correct permit. February 15, 2026, the Beverly Hills Police Department shut down an event hosted by Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown, specifically his \u201cLAB 741\u201d event, due to a lack of proper permits. Brown refuted that statement after Sunday\u2019s NBA All-Star Game.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m offended by Beverly Hills by the statement they put out, like we applied for something and didn\u2019t get it, and we did it anyway (and) we were insubordinate,\u201d he said postgame. \u201cI know how to follow the rules. I\u2019m smart enough to follow the guidelines. It just seemed like somebody didn\u2019t want whatever we had going on to go on because out of everybody that was doing something, it seemed like I was the only one that gets shut down.\u201d<\/p>\n When asked about the permit, or lack thereof, Brown refuted the city\u2019s statement.<\/p>\n \u201cThat was not true,\u201d Brown said. \u201cWe didn\u2019t need a permit because the owner of the house, that was his space. We were family friends. He opened up the festivities to us so we didn\u2019t have to. We never applied for one. \u2026 I didn\u2019t have to pay for the house or anything. They just opened it up. I had to pay for the build-out, but it was hundreds of thousands of dollars wasted for an event that was supposed to be positive.\u201d<\/p>\n Altogether, Brown said he spent $300,000 on the event, while his sponsors spent about $300,000 to $500,000.<\/p>\n Jaylen Brown of the Boston Celtics dribbles the ball during the game against the Golden State Warriors on February 19, 2026 at Chase Center in San Francisco, California.

The City takes full accountability for the internal error that resulted in the inaccurate statement being distributed and is working to ensure it does not happen again.\u201d<\/p>\n Beverly Hills City Manager Nancy Hunt-Coffey then went a step further, apologizing to Brown and the Jannard family. However, she doubled down on shutting down the party, claiming the city staff \u201cobserved circumstances that are believed to be City code violations and for that reason alone, the event was ended.\u201d<\/p>\n Prior to tipoff that night in the Bay Area, Brown responded on X<\/a> to the apology with a statement and tagged Beverly Hills police.<\/p>\n \u201cThis was a private, invitation-only gathering at a private home among friends and partners, not a public or commercial event requiring a permit,\u201d his statement read. \u201cMusic was voluntarily turned off at 6:00 PM; well before the 10:00 PM noise ordinance. In advance of the event, our team proactively contacted the Beverly Hills Police Department, requesting to hire an off-duty officer for support, and that request was declined.<\/p>\n \u201cNo proof of any alleged violation was ever produced to the homeowner, our team, or legal counsel. Without observation, documentation, or confirmed violations, enforcement action based on belief alone raises serious due-process concerns.\u201d<\/p>\n He then sent another tweet an hour later, saying, \u201cYou targeted me and my @741Performance<\/a> event based on biased information then you give a half ass apology after the damage is already done.\u201d<\/p>\n You targeted me and my @741Performance<\/a> event based on biased information then you give a half ass apology after the damage is already done<\/p>\n
