Overview
- Beverly Hills police shut down Brown’s Feb. 14 gathering at a Trousdale residence, saying a permit had been requested, denied and ignored because of prior violations at the address.
- Brown called the city’s account “completely false,” asserting no permit was ever sought and that homeowner Jim Jannard hosted the private panel tied to his 741 brand and Oakley partnership.
- Video Brown posted shows him questioning officers at the scene as he says the event was being targeted and notes it was an early‑evening panel, not a party.
- Brown says the shutdown wasted roughly $300,000 he spent on the build‑out and promotion, a figure he repeated in posts tagging Beverly Hills police.
- Brown says Jannard is considering suing the city; as of the latest reports, no lawsuit or independent record has been produced that resolves the permit dispute.
