Jayen Brown has a well-known reputation for frequently standing up against any kind of wrongdoing. He is a respectable athlete who has never been involved in any scandals or controversies to this day, and he actively speaks out against those who do wrong. One example of this is his support for Palestine. Recently, the Boston Celtics superstar decided to demonstrate his support against such wrongdoing through his social media account. He expressed his approval for a post that shed light on a domestic violence incident involving Miles Bridges. Fans from all over the world applauded Brown for calling out players for their misdeeds.
During the trade deadline, there were numerous discussions about potentially trading Miles Bridges. However, Bridges himself decided to veto the trades, leaving the Charlotte Hornets with no choice but to keep him on the team. It was during this period of trade speculation that a fan posted a tweet that defamed Bridges for his domestic violence felony. Surprisingly, Jaylen Brown liked the post, indirectly criticizing his fellow athlete for his past actions. This act of support for slandering a woman beater was met with great celebration from fans.
In 2022, Miles Bridges was charged with felony domestic violence against his former partner, who is also the mother of his two children. He turned himself in and was subsequently charged. As part of a deal with the prosecution, Bridges received a sentence of three years of probation and was required to complete several hours of community service. Additionally, a 10-year protective order was issued to ensure that he stayed away from the woman.
The league conducted its own investigation into the matter, resulting in a 30-game suspension for Bridges. During this time, he did not sign a contract with any team, so he had already served 20 of the suspended games. As a result, he faced a remaining 10-game suspension after signing a contract with the Hornets.
It is rare for a superstar to take a stand against something negative, especially when it involves a fellow athlete, even if they are not in the same league. However, Brown’s support for the slander against Bridges for his past actions was well-received. A vigilant fan noticed Brown’s endorsement of the slander, and screenshots of his liked post quickly went viral on the internet. Here are some of the reactions from fans who witnessed Brown’s ‘Like’.
After seeing the fans’ reactions, Jaylen Brown eventually removed his like from the post, perhaps to avoid any unnecessary controversy. However, during the few hours that he publicly supported the slander, he received immense praise for his stance.
