Three years ago WNBA player Brittney Griner was released from a Russian penal colony after spending nine months in jail on possession charges [click here if you missed that].
This week Brittney backed out of a speaking engagement after a threatening message was duct taped to her hotel room wall...
From TMZ
Brittney Griner backed out of a planned speaking engagement this week ... after she found a note in her hotel room that she took as a threat.
TMZ Sports has learned ... the WNBA superstar was slated to talk at the Women Grow Leadership Summit in National Harbor, Md. -- but bolted from the event on Monday morning after discovering a piece of duct tape near her entryway that had the words "Gay Baby Jail" written on it.
We're told Griner -- who is gay and was, of course, once imprisoned in Russia for marixuana possession -- was mortified at the message ... and immediately canceled her scheduled appearance to return home.
The Prince George's County Police Department said in a statement to us on Tuesday its officers did investigate the scene at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center ... and determined the matter appears to be nothing more than an unfortunate coincidence.
"Detectives have learned the phrase 'gay baby jail' is commonly used as a video game reference," the PGCPD said. "At the time the tape was located, a large convention was taking place at the Gaylord which attracts thousands of people, many with an interest in anime as well as video game enthusiasts. At this time, detectives have uncovered no link to or threat against the guest who located the tape."
Nonetheless, the agency said "detectives are working to determine who placed the piece of tape, when it was done and the intention behind it" -- and is encouraging anyone with more information to reach out.

I woulda bailed too. Too many psychos out there running aloose.
MANY COMMUNITIES SADLY DON'T & NO LONGER WILL HAVE THE PROTECTIONS WE/THEY ONCE HAD IN AMERICA ANYMORE NOW THAT DUMP ADMINISTRATION IS DISMANTLING WHAT OUR CIVIL PROTECTIONS WERE, & I CAN'T HELP BUT PLACE BLAME AT THE FEET OF SOME OF THOSE COMMUNITIES FOR HELPING BE THE DRIVING FORCE FOR WHAT'S CURRENTLY OCCURRING.
THE BANDWAGON JUMPERS WHO ASSOCIATED THEIR AGENDAS TO THE LONG AGO FIGHTS FOR EQUAL RIGHTS, CIVIL RIGHTS, HUMAN RIGHTS, CIVIL LIBERTIES, ETC. IS IN MY OPINION WHAT HELPED COLLAPSE WHAT THE PEOPLE WHO MARCHED & FOUGHT HARD SOME LOSING THEIR LIVES & EVERYTHING ELSE IN BETWEEN FOR THE CIVIL RIGHTS WE HAD IN PLACE FOR OVER 60 YEARS.
CERTAIN GROUPS OF PEOPLE WHO VOTED FOR DUMP WERE SCARED THAT THEY'D LOSE THEIR FREEDOMS WHICH RESULTED IN THE OUTCOME THAT HAPPENED IN NOVEMBER 2024.
EVEN THOUGH IT'S THE UNDISPUTED TRUTH THIS IS ONLY MY OPINION.
Glad she’s taking care of herself.
This story is likely to cover for low ticket sales. The event was in predominately Black and progressive Baltimore. You may get robbed there but they won't h@te crime you.
@5:46 - This right here!!!
National Harbor and PG county aren’t even in Baltimore. It’s right outside of DC and across the bridge from Virginia, dimwits.
