She can’t just try & blend in with her fellow inmates. She literally stands out.
She shouldn’t be carrying illegal drugs. She deserves it
she’s a literal giant lesbian, she would love prison anyways
So – apparently Russia hasn’t banned Youtube for trolls and bots…
@natasha begley You are a beautiful girl🤗😇
@Tom Beacher lol – the guards are at grave risk of being sexually assaulted in the shower.
She should have known better. Now the price will be paid. What a stupid CHOICE, with bad bad consequences.
She took a substance across international lines where it is illegal. Sorry, but even if it wasn’t a war time she would be in the same situation
@Carpenter conspiracy theories at best and they have no merrit
@Iquey shouldn’t be a problem if it’s a little amount I’ve brought carts through airport security
@Joseph Stalin international security checks are usually more intensive, not just pass you through and check some random bags like in country flights.
@Chris R. yeah exactly I did it on a domestic flight colorodo to Florida
@Carpenter Has she or her lawyer once said it was a plant or not a legit bust? I haven’t heard that. Are you asserting gay blacks should be above the law? Oh, let me guess….they are racist homophobic laws.
Drugs are not tolerated in many countries. You should check the countries drug laws and gay laws before you go. You have to respect the laws of the country you are in.
She’s gay, black and embarrassed the Russian players. Perhaps it was a plant? I know, not in good ol’ Russia for heaven’s sake.
Yep👍👍
@Carpenter Or perhaps it’s true.
@I’m in your head that’s always an option, even a dead clock is right twice a day.

CNN is the WWE of news…fun to watch as long as you know it is just acting. Lets hope they get back to real journalism soon.
Brittany was set up by a teammate or a coach. Who else would know her business
@Pamela Grisby its her bag. Her responsibility. Nobody else gets a free pass neither should she.
@GorillaBear It would not be the first time a solider was singled out. Look at Amanda Knotts
I love weed but taking it into Russia is about as stupid as you can get
CNN, without your propaganda, did she break the law or not?
Is this the same woman who was charged with domestic violence? I believe she pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and entered a 26-week domestic violence counseling program following her arrest on April 22 in Goodyear, Arizona. Exactly, an icon to whom?
@Krusty Madrid Of course the Juice is an icon, a symbol to many. I don’t do idolatry. If you want to bow to the icons and idols of this world, don’t count on me to join you.
@Sirro Minus1 let’s find out in a court of law if she broke any rules.
@Fried Mac If it’s true.
@Tavernum maybe time to get another Icon. There must be better individuals to have as role models.
Is Ray Lewis an Icon? Chris Brown? OJ Simpson? Ike Turner?
Not in my world.
All rich, all wife beaters.
If you beat up your spouse, you are garbage, irrespective of your bank account or sexual orientation.
The LGBTQ community can find another rich athlete if that’s what you feel makes an Icon.
So special used to getting away with everything it seems not this time
My Dad taught me to own up to my mistakes no matter how big or small that they may be.
She needs to own up to her mistake and face the consequences.
@Tavernum lol whats it like living in fantasy land
@Rose Petit Frere first of all nobody has compassion for roof. Literally nobody. Not sure where that came from. And the reason we had compassion for Kyle was bc he was being railroaded unjustly. He did nothing wrong. A jury of his peers agreed. That’s how it works In America. Maybe the reason nobody cares about Griner is bc she’s always got terrible things to say about her country, now she screws up and wants her country to save her. And now she’s at the mercy of Russia bc the weakling she helped vote in. He’s scared of Putin’s shadow lol plus he doesn’t give two shits.
@Tenderloin Pride she knew about that law lol. And the real mistake was still being in Russia long after she was advised to leave
@TC on YT You are clueless about the facts of this case, so stop with the ASSumptions.
@Black Queen what are you talking about? Are you high black queen lol? Enlighten me… what “facts of the case” did I even mention?
Live the life, love the life you live, Don’t cry.
Yes shes an icon. I tell my daughter to look at all of mrs griners mistakes and to not follow in her footsteps at all.
What mistakes are you referring to? She seems to be making more money than most Americans her age. The only mistake she has made was going to Russia to make money doing what she loves.
@Hard Cold you try so hard and never quite get it done.
@John Trent ok boomer
@John Trent Could be but if I was a betting man, I’d say it was a plant. Putin probably got tired of watching her stomp on his white girls.
Illegal drugs are illegal drugs plain and simple, own up to those mistakes.
She had an illegal substance, if she really wanted her legal treatment she wouldn’t of broken the law
The Phoenix Mercury HAVE TO get her back. The loss of 3 jersey sales can make or break a WNBA franchise.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
LMAO
She’s an icon! She needs to own up to her mistakes.
Her classy tats are certainly something to be duplicated.
🤮
Icon? I literally have never heard of this woman in my life until now and I’m finding out that she may not be the most upstanding person. As a fellow American, however, I wish her a safe return.
@Tim W Yes. So you aren’t American, then? Hahahaha
@David Steinfeld trump loves putin.. he is a traitor to murica
@Reed Griffin Half.
@Reed Griffin they also do not have free press that why he is ignorant. Opinions of ignorant ppl holds no weight.
@simon A I don’t know, I just didn’t think anyone would be so stupid.
I’ve traveled to many countries, and they have strict laws! I was told in Cuba not to bring cigars back with me. If caught with cigars you could be fined or arrested. Don’t break the law period, they don’t play!🤦🏾
She publicly hates the ANTHEM and she is an ICON. I love JESUS
She won’t have to worry about the American anthem being played for a long time. She got her wish in a way.
