The city of Beverly Hills issued an apology to Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown Thursday, saying it had shut down an event for the athlete during the NBA All-Star weekend over “inaccurate information.”

Last week, city officials said it had to break up the gathering, which was for the promotion of Brown’s performance brand, 741, at a private residence on Trousdale Place because event organizers did not have a permit. 

The city added that the organizers had applied for an event permit but were denied due to “previous violations associated with events at the address.”

But the city said Thursday, following a review, it determined that no one applied for a permit for the event to begin with, and the home, owned by Oakley founder Jim Jannard, does not have any prior violations. 

“On behalf of the City, I would like to apologize to Jaylen Brown and the Jannard family,” City Manager Nancy Hunt-Coffey said in a statement.

While the city said it takes full accountability for the “inaccurate statement,” it defended its practice of regulating events held at public residences. 

“(The regulations) are designed to support the safety and welfare of neighbors and attendees,” Hunt-Coffeey explained. “City staff observed circumstances that are believed to be City code violations and for that reason alone, the event was ended.”

After the city erroneously told the Boston Globe that it had to shut down the event over a lack of a permit, Brown responded in an ESPN interview Sunday after the All-Star Game at Intuit Dome in Inglewood.

“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 (and) we were insubordinate,” Brown told ESPN. “I know how to follow the rules. I’m smart enough to follow the guidelines.”

The All-Star guard had said that his event organizers did not need a permit because the owner of the home, Jannard, opened up the place for the festivities. 

Beverly Hills officials said they hope to have future opportunities to collaborate with the Jannard family and Jaylen Brown.
