will face horrific conditions during her time in a Russian prison ... with environments that will include homophobia, racism and 16-hour work days., prisoners in Mordovia -- where Griner was taken to earlier this month -- are barely treated like humans.
Bigotry is commonplace, medical care is nearly nonexistent ... and, Zirin says, inmates are expected to sew the uniforms for police and guards.In fact, it's unclear if Griner will even get a bed that will fit her 6-foot-8 frame., a founder of the feminist group Pussy Riot, spent two years in Mordovia following a 2012 arrest, and per Zirin, described the place as hell, where"beatings and torture" are common.
"Despite the fact she is alone and now nearing her ninth month in detention separated from her loved ones," her reps said,"she is trying to stay strong."
Honestly the trade off wasn't fair ,we just gave them a war criminal for a WNBA player ?!
No one should have to go through that.. When or if she come out, her mental state is going to be mess up.. She will never be the same
Its sad what she is going through, but I always say know the laws of a state or country before going there. Ignorance can be a life sentence.
So the crime ya gotta do the time.
It's sad cause Russia don't accept The Gay Pride and that's where all that plays in 🤦🏾♀️
Romans 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
I heard she was missing now
Play stupid games win stupid prizes
Is there a pleasant prison in Russia...
She’s coming back as a KGB agent. Cuz they know the first place she’s going to when she get back in a decade is the White House for a homecoming parade lol
Maybe next time she will appreciate this country more and for what it stands for,lessons to be learn.
It sucks but how fucking dumb to take drugs into another country.
Good
He hates America so he will be okay 👍🏽 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Shouldn't have broken the law in a country that does not give special treatment because of your sexuality or gender..
Moment of silence...drop the needle on the song 'Back In The U.S.S.R.' don't worry If she can change, they can change...We can all change!!!
Just maybe, she will think twice before bringing an illegal substance into a foreign country.
Brittany, welcome to the communist party… what you always wanted. Cheers.
Ppl are so cruel and damn why not fine her and let her come home. So stupid, praying she gets home soon.
That’s messed up
Blada boom y’all r vile people in ur hearts because of ur trauma I know deep down there’s good in u. Obviously the sentence is evil and I hope Britney and almost all criminals in all lands get released soon literally murder and rape and that’s about all that need like any of it
Very sad, i dont go to communist countries .
Why is this still news? She’s in prison. Russian prison.
Free Brittney now!
How are so many people defending fucking Russia! Nobody deserves this!
This is such a sad situation, praying for her and her family, something has to give, …🙏🏽❤️
🤣😂😅 bet if they asked her to STAND for the American flag; she would now! Maybe she can call BLMLA si if they care! 🤣🤣🤣
But she hates the United States, so let her finish her sentence.
Putin holding her for spite, celebrities said they smoked weed in Russia.
President Biden, you have the power to bring her home, BRING BRITTNEY HOME.
American athletes stop traveling to foreign countries.
Horrible
Oh well
God, please be with her and bring her home soon. Amen 🙏🏾💔🙏🏾💔🙏🏾💔🙏🏾💔🙏🏾
If she only hadn’t brought drugs into a foreign country…..🙄 Zero sympathy!!
Do the crime…
Free here!
They should play our National Anthem in her cell. How many other ppl over there are incarcerated for the same crime? Is anyone trying to get them out? Do the crime, pay the time! That’s every country and as many times as she had been there, she knew the law!
🤣
Well maybe she should have thought of that before kneeling for the anthem and staying in locker room... but she misses the country she hates huh
She has no idea how lucky she was living in America. Now pay the price. No sympathy.
Me wondering why she thinks American Prisons would be any different smh ridiculous
It's called accountability for stupid decisions! 💩
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡🤡
It’s a prison so
Good.
I am so tired of hearing about her she broke the law
She was brave enough to play for Russia
Bro the racism is real,
Oh say can you see by the dawn's early light.........
Not one single person, anywhere, ever, should be in a prison for a marijuana crime. That in itself is the crime.
I bet now she loves her sum America!
I’m disappointed it’s taking too long to free her 😢🙏🏽♥️
She broke the law. She knew it was illegal. To bad so sad
Who cares? Not I!!! Her own damn fault
Some of your comments are so heartless.Yea she was wrong. But instead of being so doggone mean and posting ugly and cruel remarks. Say a prayer for her or either don’t say anything at all.. She still human.
Ok 👍
Haven't heard a word from BLM, or the LGBQTRANSFAGS.
We don’t care
I feel horrible for her.
Ohhhh but it’s her second home 🙄
Maybe she should not have brought drugs into the country! After this she calls on America to help her!
America ain’t so bad… 🇺🇸
America fuck yeah! 🇺🇸
Russia is not your friend
And.....?
It’s Russia
poor baby really not interested you did the crime, now do the time, mess with russia and look what you get
wonder if she is still feeling the US is oppressive Better not kneel again.
I’ll bet she is loving America now eh?🤣
Why is this even news? Per Russian law what she did was illegal! The other inmates are equally being held with inflated sentences and we don’t care about them and aren’t trying to free them. My point is, she doesn’t mean more because she’s an athlete and American.
If I was her I would just lay on the ground, if they put you in solitary I would be fine.
Shucks..
All behind some liquid thc. She got lumped in with murderer's and psychopathic people who have nothing but intentions of harming others. The punishment should fit the crime. This is clearly an extreme action on their part to set an example for all of us. Evil world we live in.
😂😂😂😂
Maybe she will start to love Our Country!
ADVICE ALERT don't pick up the soap..unless you want to.....
Bring her home
16 hours? Haha! Some nurses have that schedule. Film crews, too.
Good... that is amazing to hear... she is nobody special... she should not be treated any different
The comments here disgust me! She didn't kill or rob anyone or commit fraud!! SHE HAD A DAMN VAPE PEN!! That's nothing when it's legal all over our country! Ppl are so full of hate and racism. It makes me sick!!! Stop being so miserable! Try love and happiness!🙏🏽🙏🏽
Don’t do the crime and you won’t have to do the time and she knew she was gay going out there playing basketball for many years she knew what the consequences was if she got in trouble out there
Like every other criminal..
Very troubling, makes me appreciative of our country but we hardly lock up people that actually should be, especially California
She will be fine and more stuff for her book.
Good
She hated America so much! Now she'll see first hand what the other half truly lives like!!!!!! 🤣🤣
So what your saying is she is facing the same conditions that you and i would face if we broke Russia laws. Sounds perfectly fair to 98% of mankind
Honestly does anyone really care?
Learn to code
🤔 Maybe she shoulda thought of all this before taking dope to Russia. She thought she was above the law. Now I have nothing against weed, smoke it myself, but if I was the one in jail over there, would y’all be fighting for me? Nope… no one would even know probably!
🙏🇺🇸
Good
Well duh. It’s prison.
Her punishment is way overdone.Time to send her home.And I am NOT a fan of hers what so ever!
Ouch
Oh look, it's the consequences of my actions.
Free BG this shit crazy
Haaa haaa haaa, couldn’t happen to a better entitled person and leftist!!!! Karma
Yeah. You’re in fucking jail. Accept it and like it.
👍
She hated America so she'll be aight.
OMG this post is so funny! 😂😂😂
Better than ericanthough right. She was running fromAmerica
Yeah so nobody gives a shit.
is just excited to put “homophobia, racism” in there.
All I know is that when she is free she gonna have one hell of a story to tell 💯
🤷🏼♀️
WTF CARES?
Tired of hearing about her. Who cares?
I don't feel for her at all.
😂😂
🙏
I hope Russia is honoring her pronouns
Good
Good
She will be fine. Russia is great country. It has amazing prisons.
Karma works.
She would be exposed to the same “horrific conditions” you just mentioned in this tweet, in a U.S. prison as well.
Let’s be happy she was able to escape her horrible oppression in the US. She’s in a place that suits her much better now.
whats biden doing, answer, nuthin yall
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America.. Never down play your freedom. Now bring her home.
I bet she loves America now! The country she said she was oppressed in🙄
I thought nobody knows where she is located? How would they know this information?
Glad I love America and stay right here
Lol awesome
She’s an activist seems like the perfect time to protest and draw attention to the despicable nature of Russian prisons I mean a true activist hero would love a situation like this first thing she should do is a hunger strike pull a Ghandi the first pedo liberal hero
Good
Probably shouldn’t have shit on this country and the flag lol
Next time 👇🏽
Now she listens. We are warned not to travel to Russia! That's on her!
Sometimes people have to experience other things to truly appreciate what they had
Karma.
Blacks face Racism everyday the wake up in America 🇺🇸👊🏾💯
She's paying a high price for letting her ego cloud her judgment. Bottom line. Don't break the law in backassward countries.
It's fkn prison, not camp snoopy
and she now realizes that USA not so bad after all !!
🙏🏿4her release. These whyte peole in comments evil.dam haters mad when blk peole fight 4 rights she unpatriotic 4 protesting police brutality but the murdering terrorist insurrection are patriotic uh?If 1 of those terrorists was over there it would be all out bring home campaign
Will it include racism and homophobia? How do you know? Racism is here in the US because of slavery. Sexually she may be honored, who knows? It's a different culture. Why put a negative, ethnocentric spin on it? Granted she's in jail, but sewing for others isn't too- hard labor.
All part of the reform process. Hope it works.
I feel for anyone facing prison and it would be awful to be in that position. But her disregard for the rules that she is special and can do whatever she wants backfired horribly. She had a trafficking amount of canisters in the wrong country. This happens everyday to non celeb
I'm sorry and I know this might sound real real bad but God Don't Make mistakes
Do they have a national anthem there?
😂
you forgot the part where she will stand to attention every day for the Russian National Anthem
Why don’t you do a story on the January 6 prisoners of Civil War we have our very gulags here and people being tortured under Joe Biden orders and he’s worse than Putin. He’s more evil and he has no brain. I’m sure she’ll get better treatment in the j6 prisoners of war.
How can you not check the rules for the country you want to travel to.. Smh
Don't do the crime if you can't do the time. She was surprised to fuck around and find out that unlike the oh so oppressive us some countries enforce their laws.
Every time you show her face, I laugh my butt off.🤣This sort of makes up for the black killers who are now free who killed my friend who received no justice in this country because they’re black. Enjoy your stay honey.
The leaders of Black Lives Matter trained in Moscow Russia in communism, and brought that shit here and she propagated it well enjoy your communism honey. You earned it.
Don't forget the rapes. It's called prison. Wondering if her views on America have changed a lil bit....
Tell her/him to just kneel seemed to work out before
Russia doesn't want a country full of pot heads
Maybe knowing the rules of where your going to travel might be helpful. I bet she misses the US now.
1. She wasn't forced to visit another country. 2. She wasn't forced to bring an illegal substance to another country. 3. Her choice on both accounts. Do the crime - pay the time. HER CHOICES. NoSympathy
I still dont understand how she was arrested for it. she didnt know it was illegal, she was coming off a plane that allowed it on, from a country where it is legal. RussiaIsATerroristState
I don’t think homophobia and racism are her biggest problems. This isn’t a Disney film. She’s thinking about food and not being murdered.
Um… yeah. Prison. DontDoTheCrimeIfYouCantDoTheTime
J6 political prisoners. When you do a story on them I’ll take a look at your article.
He’ll be fine
Lmao. That sounds better than most American prisons.
Does she still hate America?
She still hate 🇺🇸? Lololol
Lmao
She can always kneel when they play the Russian anthem, that'll show em.
Wonder if she realizes how great freedom is yet instead of communism?
24/7 US National Anthem.
She did something dumb but come on. I feel terrible for her.
Then don't break the law in the first place 🤷♂️
She should've familiarized herself with their laws, regardless of them being stupid, irrational or not-caught up with the times. It's either entitlement or ignorance which caused this. Still sucks though.
Oh well 🤷♂️
Her ancestors were able to survive much worser conditions and treatment. She'll be fine.
Cry me a river
Must suck to be her.
You have to feel for her poor thing. Hope she finds the strength to endure the time she has to spend in jail. Her father a sheriff too! I do think Biden will free her. Good Luck Kid.
Sounds like jail
Well deserved
Russians treating prison as though it’s some kind of negative deterrent to commit crime or something! FreeBritney
And the US prisons are so much better?
I mean come on, man up
Sometime you don’t know how good you have it. Until you don’t have it🤷🏾♂️
So she faces REAL fascism, racism, and tyranny. I bet the USA is looking real free to her now.
The more you fuck around the more your gonna find out.
Is the national anthem being played there?
She should have thought of that before bringing or buying drugs in RUSSIA!
Wait…whaaaat? I’m prison? No way.
Don't smuggle drugs kids, mmmk.
Wasn't she the one that took a knee during the National anthems? Why should we help someone who obviously thinks our country deserves no respect?
This may make her respect for America better. If she wants respect from this country she needs to give it in return.
Why is this hack being blasted at us in the news constantly ? I dont care about some rich pothead who slagged off 'her' home country from abroad then got jailed and wants help now. The media should Focus on our black communties being hurt by the extremely high cost of living.
LOL you're not news! No one gives a fk delete tmz from Twitter
That's a man
Don’t post stories you really don’t care about. Thanks.
Why does the media insist on exaggerating her situation theres worse prisons and situations than hers
Oh no. If it isn’t the consequences of her actions.
When is the USA gonna do something about this!!?
A lot of Stars, musicians etc need to personally pack and check their luggage when going abroad. I'm a regular Joe, so to speak and I think like that. These other countries will show just how important you aren't. Anyone who doesn't like your country won't like you. 🤷🏾♂️🙏🏾💯
Britneys story is a sad one, but she has to extremely crazy to not understand that she was going to 'Russia' and that Russia and America are not on such good terms. Many countries aren't. You have to be careful when going to these places. They are dying to fukk us over.
Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time
Boo hood. So has everyone else that broke the law there. Next please
Well I mean it’s prison so….
She should expect everything, that's prison and not candy land.
Bring her home . Yes some of the statements I read was homophobic, and racism , bigotry, but she may be facing the same in a Russian prison for something illegal in Russia & political. She serving 9 years for a gram of hashish oil In America it'sthesameas adime sack of weed
Horrible
I wasn’t aware that western prisons were pc
America and NATO allies have prioritized making Ukraine another ally, arming them in the fight against Russia, how is that possible,,Vin diesel,, Brittany is in between a high mountain and the deep blue sea
No sympathy from me. She been going there for all this time, she should have known better.
Best news I've heard all day
No one cares
She is going to a prison right? I mean your saying it like if it's a shock that prison is an ugly place. Last I checked, prison isn't suppose to be fun and nice. That country is trying to make a statement to follow their laws. If we don't like it, then dnt go
🤣😂🤣
I bet she saying weed was not worth it
Why would they place her in that environment where there’s homophobia and racism? They’re letting the news of torture be WELL KNOWN nationwide purposely so that the U.S. can have a reaction.. They’re intentionally torturing this woman using her as pond, smh 🙏🏻
Trump would’ve had her back by now
Sad. Wish you stayed in the USA
I feel sorry for her truly, nut if I had to choose a country to never bring drugs into it would be Russia.
that's mean she got what she deserved
So what? She faced that in america no? The country she hates so much. Just another day for BIG BG
Awe… guess she should’ve thought about that before she took the shit over there with her. And now she wants the country to come bail her ass out that she can’t fucking stand I say leave her ass over there
Break laws...you get into trouble 🤷♀️
Everyone spread out. See if you can find a fuck to give.
I'm no genius but I can tell you I'm not going to any Communist Country for any reason I don't need money that bad 🙄
Don’t break the law, problem solved.
Should have obeyed the russian laws O O P S
Sounds like working at Amazon to me!
This stink about Brittany Griner is is a freaking joke it's really simple she played a stupid game and got a STUPID and career ending prize she was against the USA but wants the USA to save her bahahaha what a joke....
Shouldn't commit crimes abroad
Maybe she should have NOT broken that countries laws! These People need to stop acting like they run things, also what bad example is she teaching kids with using drugs? Say what you want, but in my book anything that alters your state of mind IS A DRUG!
Looking for a f*ck to give. Couldn’t find one.
When she gets back to America in 8 1/2 years she is going to love this country
Time & crime rhyme.
Sounds like some good reasons not to get caught with drugs in a hostile country. F'd around and found out...... 9 years worth. Oh well...
According to the left, that’s exactly what it was like for her as a citizen in America.
Good
That’s normal!!!🤷🏽♂️
I bet America sounds really good to him right about now.
Praying. She don’t do all that time and nothing bad happens to her there but also hope she learn her lesson about being drugs over there. She knew better
AsAndrewSpeaks As soon as a white person gets caught up in the exact same situation, all the white people with no sympathy for Brittney will be singing a different tune. It’s the American way. It happens all the time.
😂😂😂
Try to stay positive she's drug-free🤔
Can someone ask Putin if Brittney is in a women's facility or a men's? 🤔
Wish you would say the same for all AVERAGE Americans locked up in American prisons for way less then trying to smuggle drugs into freaking Russia!
She needs to worry about those star tattoos over her shoulders. That means something in Russian prison. Not going to be fun.
Maybe traveling to another country and disrespecting their laws, and then not taking responsibility for it, were some bad decisions. I'm sure that thought will cross her mind more than once over the next 8 or so years 😀
This is the risk you take if you go to a communist country, not much the West can do about it, regardless of your gender, if they decide to lock you up for any reason. It's hard enough to get help from embassies in the West, let alone in communist countries. Travel safely 🛬
Russia wants a bad dude swapped out. They have got someone who has been in media who broke the law. She played right into their hands.
This is sad praying for her 🙏🏾
Hate to say it, but in a foreign country, the laws of the United States are not applicable. Just because she is an American doesn't mean squat overseas.
Well that’s why you should abide by foreign government laws . Definitely one that where being gay is a crime . I suggest not to go to crazy country’s like this Russia
She knew Russia doesn’t like gay ppl. She knew not to bring drugs in a foreign country. The Bible says that God destroys sin the city of Sodom n Gomorrah for homosexuals. .Ive been lock up n nobody tried to get me out of prison.
Dayum WTF did she really do. KimKardashian help her out please. Use 1 of your favors. This is Ridiculous
alliwantforchristmasisbrittneygrinerhome
How do we help? What can we do to support her?
That's what happens when you hate America.. haha support democrats and this is how we learn.. America is 1..... bet you'll never talk shit about this country again.
Sweet!
🤣😂🤣😂
Does she still hate America? Asking for a friend
QueenElle805 Love2LoveLeigh ✡️ 🚨🚨🚨 ScammingTether 🤥 PoorestTether 🇿🇼
Jesus !
Soooo?
Play stupid games,win stupid prizes
I kinda feel bad but like you had to have known better
Poor bastard
Why would you go there with drugs?
😂
Bet she wishes she could hear that National Anthem right about now.
You do the crime, you do the time. Maybe she will learn to love the place. She verbal expressed her hate for America. Now she wants the USA to save her. Let her sort out her problems she created with her own money.
Like every prison would Don't kid yourself into thinking US prisons are better If you break the law, you face the consequences If you wanna whine about those harsh consequences, I suggest you book an appointment with Vlad
I’m confused as to how she will face homophobia in a womens prison 😬
Where is the LGBT community thought they'd have a rally of some sort for a comrade..no love for their own is the same reason why they don't get the support from others..
Dude, it’s a Russian prison…
You think she’ll stand for her National anthem when she gets back to the States? I bet she loves America now
Sheesh shouldn’t have smoked that joint seems to be the moral of the story
It’s prison, not a vacation.
but that’s in all prisons
Don’t break the law in Russia kids (or make sure you don’t get caught when there is a weak ass Democrat President in office).
🤔 At least she doesn’t have to suffer anymore from the oppression of the USA.
Who sneaks weed into fugging RUSSIA?! Someone very entitled and privileged who doesn't think the laws apply to her! She did something incredibly stupid and is now paying the price!
Sounds like American prison
Oh just like real life here in the US..why is this news
Oh poor baby...NOT. Not all countries/laws are alike, most often they are a lot harsher than the US. What gets me is that if a person who doesn't abide by the laws in other countries gets caught, they are crying unfairness. If you are stupid enough to do the crime you do the time
Millions of immigrants face that in American prison every day, because is the land of the racist
I mean... all she can do is make the most of her time. This is hella unfortunate though. I couldn't imagine... 😔
Well she can always bend her knee and wear rainbow 🌈 armbands to show her protest
Do the crime, do the time. First, what about all the people locked up here with marijuana charges. Maybe we should worry about them first.
Bummer. Bet she wishes she knew the lyrics to Lee greenwoods ‘God bless the USA’ these days 😏
Sounds like they are going to make her a Twitter moderator.
&?
Remember when she hated America?
She needs to. We should not be giving up an arms dealer for her.
Don't be a criminal
This is very sad, why on earth did she have all those drugs with her. Didn’t anyone tell he to not take illegal narcotics into Russia.
😂
At least she’s out of the country she wanted out of🤌🏻
Oh well. She hates it here so much she can enjoy Russia for a lil bit.
she should have thought about that before she broke their laws
Tell John McCain about your 'horriric' conditions.
This is sooo WRONG 😑 😢
He hates America so much… let them keep him!
That is horrible! Now imagine what the average American goes through every single day and that's without breaking the law. This is a tear jerker
The whole world at your disposal and you choose countries like Russia, China, Iran for whatever reason, there are consequences to pay. Because you are the political pawn.
I guess kneeling for the pledge of allegiance didn't help
Good....Maybe she can learn to appreciate this great country we live in!
Knorris1911 One could only hope so
Maybe she shouldn’t take drugs to Russia. Her Race Card doesn’t work there.
Oh well.
Their country, their laws. What do you not understand
Maybe she can come back and tell us how oppressed we are..
So what have we learned about communist countries
What about the homophobia racism environments in our own prison systems
What a bozo
Well she is the one, that brought it on herself. She broke the law. And she now has the pay the price..
“Environments that will include homophobia” 😂😂😂 please give me a break. She made her bed, now she gotta lie in it!
It will be a decade, if ever, before any American ever sets foot inside Putin's Russia.
I hate this for her. So heartbreaking. Wrong - psychotic. I will never go to Russia or any country with such delusional levels of authority. 💔💔💔
So a normal work week🤷🏻
I just don't think the punishment fits the crime in this case
Not every country is the USA
Ain't that what's in American prisons?
But at least they will not be playing the American National Anthem - thank god
I always thought it was only white Americans were racist, guess it’s all white people world wide?
This is really sad bro 😔 but hopefully this is a lesson to everyone. just because you are an American doesn’t mean our rules leave with you to other countries, you gotta respect em and if you don’t know, you have to educate yourself before making the trip
'with environments that will include homophobia, racism and 16-hour work days.' Not much worse than living in Texas.
Maybe she shouldn’t have broken their law. Today’s professional athletes feel they are better than the common people.
She hates the US so she is going to learn how wrong she was.
Bet she wishes she could mail in a 2024 vote for any Republican.
And there are GOP members of Congress backing Pu tin & demanding aid to Ukraine stop !!
illmak3ufamous2 Its cuz she light skin
But according to her america is the worst lmao
If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.
Picked the wrong time to bring weed in that hell hole. No way she gets out, there are way more important people locked up there that are higher on the list
Good thing we have a “progressive” president, he’s clearly moving mountains to get her home. 1.) woman, 2.) gay, 3.) minority 4.) weed 5.) low income. Joe your base needs you! jimmy_dore
I bet she thinks America is a really great place to live, now that she knows how privileged she had it here.
Oh shit they found her
Damn Britt hold yur head in there
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 he will be just fine
I wishing that we could turn back the hands of time and she would be free and never suffer again. What can we do Mr. Joe Biden. The time is now to act.
Really wish this was different for Brittney Griner, so many perspectives and views on how this situation was handled is just beyond crazy.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 yanks moan about laws in other country's!! Sort your own country out before judging other country's! You need trump back tbh
SO WHAT
Don’t we have like a Seals team to go snatch her up… Bond James, Hunt Ethan, Bourne Jason like someone like that 🤨🧐🤨😒
Yeah, that's called 'prison'.
He can handle it 16 hour work days are nothing for men 🤣
She got exactly what she deserves 100%!
Most working Americans typically work 10-16 hour days, maybe she’ll grow some character 🤷🏻♂️
She’s gonna work for Walmart ?
You reap what you sow.
Don’t we still have people in Afghanistan that were abandoned by the current administration?
Good, now she can see how good America is. I hope this happens to all people who don’t appreciate America
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes! No excuse, and respect for other countries. Weird thing is, why does she sound like a DUDE and kinda looking like one too Not that there's anything wrong with that, But that goes beyond lying, let that thing rot in Russia,learn from this!
😂😂😂 at this headline, y’all reaching fr
please this is trash, of course she's going to face harsh conditions because it's jail, and that's where you go when you're a criminal. Same $h*t happens in American Jails the f**k you reporting like it's Russia's fault...
Yes, she will, it's Russia. That is the environment there. One reason it's hard to understand why so many Americans hate their own country. If they only briefly experienced what this girl is going to endure they might change their minds. America 🇺🇸
🙏🏽
🗣 the bottom line doing time don't matter where If they feel to misuse and abuse 💯 THAT'S THE 🇺🇲 WAY AND THEY WAY and don't care a damn about it ALL OVER THIS F***UP 🌎
Good do the crime do the time and stop sooking
Oh no! She has to be treated like a prisoner IN prison!
Ok and?
DogSurfRoadshow So she’s experiencing Russia…
She messed up and put herself above the laws of Russia or at least ignored them and now she has to deal with her mistake and she has to own her decision. The theme of Catch 22 is being played out and she can't stop their rulings. She should have been familiar with the concept.
Sounds exactly like America lmao
At the end of the day she is an American. The fact that even Americans can’t rally behind her for that one fact says a lot more about Americans. Really shameful to see some of these comments.
Oh well
Yeah so? She's no it the only inmate in the prison. She don't even like American
tough 💩
So she’ll find out what oppression really is?
😢
Wow
I feel bad for Brittney Griner. It's not about her political views. How can anyone with with just a sliver of compassion not feel for her.
WOW....I understand what she did was wrong...She had a prescription for that hash oil from a Doctor in America...But she doesn't deserve to be punished harshly...Russia hates ALL Americans!! Remember if they'd can go to another country and declare WAR then what they'd do to US.
Do the crime, do the time.
I feel for Britney Griner. But can WE please stop with the manufactured angst and anger over her imprisonment. There are Men and Women IN AMERICA who are sitting in prison who were NEVER caught with any drugs. How hypocritical is it for America to have ANYTHING about sentences...
Putin wants Alaska for he return to the United States and tbh idk why we haven’t made that trade yet. A territory at the top of the earth full of nothing or a WNBA champion and a strong voice in the fight against racism and homophobia. It’s a easy trade smdh.
Don't break the law
Go Russia! Lock her up and throw away the key…….maybe Russia can teach the U.S.A a lesson.
Who cares.. She HATES America 🇺🇸.. Let her stay there as long as possible
Well then she shouldn’t have broken the law in another country. How many of you care about random normal Americans who break the law outside of the country…..I’ll wait….
1 John 2:1-2 John 2 John 2 dailyverse
The punishment does not fit the crime.
Who fucking cares she broke the law. !!!!!
Like American jail is better
So she’ll be ready to play ball when she comes back…
IDK and it's not my business about her lifestyle/choice, but when you feeling the Midnight Express in another country...
Did she tell them the democrats told her laws don’t apply to POC? The race card doesn’t work there, huh?
Sooo they found her?
Wait, meaning like in American prisons conditions?
🤣🤣🤣 shouldn't have done anything illegal in that country
Fucken love it
I don't think homophobia and racism are gonna be her biggest worries lol This headline is so dumb 😂
Now it’s time to pay the piper trying to be slick
Yea. It’s Russia. Let that be a lesson to these celebrities or athletes saying they hate it here 🙄
She’ll probably start a grid iron gang basketball club. Could have a happy ending
That is why they call it dope.
You mean he’s not going to play basketball any more? 🤔
the United States isn’t so bad..
Well don’t break the laws in your country an other countries 🤷🏼♀️She’ll be ok!!!
Can we do anything to help?
If you do the crime you gotta do the time. So tired of hearing about this crap all the damn time.
Maybe now she’ll stop bad mouthing America!
POTUS45 go get Brittney Griner out of Russia
She's been there a year just about . You think she hasn't had to already? Comeon tmz news is faster thru ur viewers
She may even be put to death since homosexuality is a crime in Russia
and no one here on this thread will do anything about it and eventually forget about it.
We don't care.
This is sad i hope JoeBiden is making attempts to bring her back and really going to come to an agreement because no ones life deserves this
It's like she is in prison or something
I feel bad for her but she has no respect for America so she can now see what it’s like to live in shit
Homophobia, Racism, and long work days are the reality of most prisons.
So, maybe, don't bring drugs when visiting Russia?
She should have gave that a thought b4 she broke there laws!!! 0 sympathy here
She'll be fine.
Damn for some damn weed pens
Send in Dawayne the rock Johnson to get her out
She shouldn't have broken Russia's laws.
I dont think she faces anything but a jail cell
Live on spaces right now StephenDelvac12 watch me talk about this piece of garbage that should stay locked up and how Trump is going to truly save America in the future realDonaldTrump Spaces
Karma?
She choose to visit Russia. Keep her there...
This dropped off the front page.
Who is she?
Oh well natural consequences! What makes anyone think they can do whatever they want in other countries?
Sounds like she found the perfect country for her 💯
So jail isn’t a safe space. Lol imagine that.
Idk jack about Russia idk jack about Griner.
Now we need justice for Shaquella Robinson! Mexican jail will be well suited for her killers!!
Welcome to prison
Who cares?
Don't break laws in other countries🤦♂️
It’s time she learn actions have consequences.
First time in her life she had to actually work....
🤷♂️
If Russians are that racist, they should ALL leave BritneyGriners country and go back to their racist Russia for BritneyGriner is American! That's the Shit_uation
Maybe teach your children not to fuck around in other countries so they don't have to find out?
I'm a terrible person but this makes me laugh
Putin should be in jail not BritneyGriner The scales of justice isn't balanced. What's a lil marijuana to thousands of MURDER Putin runews Russia committed?!
America’s bravery and courage are being tested and questioned…. Why are we accepting this?
Sorry Hilton was all booked
at least she learned you follow other countries laws just cause you are an american dont mean they wont put you in the hole
And JoeBiden leaves her there 🤡🤡🤡🤡
I hope the lesson to cocky Americans who think laws in other ppl's country will bend for them.LEAVE DRUGS ALONE & stop blaming JoeBiden! He's not Jesus! If you need MEDICALMARIJUANA,get a Drs note!
Good, maybe she will stand for the National Anthem after she does her time for breaking Russian law.
Now she will know what work really is!!
Don't do the crime, if you're unwilling to do the time.
They gave her a job with overtime? LUCKY
I bet she misses America
Awww... oh well...🙄
so she's going to have the life of a blue collar worker in America?
She messed up in the wrong country and now she's finding out how good she had here
She made that choice!
Sorry. Not sorry
Laws like this one are put into place for situations just like this, we have a ton in America 🤷🏾♂️ just the luck of the draw if you get caught
that is what I 'endured' on a construction crew for 10 years. the irony is palpable. By 'endured' I mean competed and enjoyed the experience. what a sad weak west we've become. BRICS+ solves this.
The not so united states states, and it's sad. Black vs white...'she didn't like the anthem, so she doesn't deserve to be here' or 'it's cause she's black is why America won't bring her back' at the end of the day it's not that easy but definitely unfortunate though
i mean isn’t that expected if you go to another country & break their laws? especially when that country isn’t exactly besties with your own? 🤔🤔🧐🧐 there’s a whole show about it… called “locked up abroad” … check it out
Is this new? No. That some people like to dismiss how Russia is homophobic and treat women less than is another story.
It’s Russia, no shit.
FreeBrittneyGriner 🙏🏽 WeAreBG
Like everybody doing time in the US for the exact same offense.
sucks for her LOL
Really? All that for a weed pen? They act like she blew up a damn children’s hospital 🙄 i understand their laws or whatever but still…..very unnecessary.
The lgbtq need to fly over nd rescue her
Too bad! You do the crime; you do the time. At least she won’t have to suffer hearing the American 🇺🇸 National Anthem in there!!
Do the crime .. do the time .. period ..
I guess she has never seen To Catch a Smuggler
Why does anyone care if we’re being honest. Anyone else that this happens too won’t get any media attention if you’re not someone with a following
Don't go to foreign countries trying to sneak drugs in. Has nobody ever watched locked up abroad. The sentence may be harsh but other countries aren't as lenient as good old AmeriKKKa
She’s gonna come home with a new found respect and appreciation for America and the freedom she enjoys compared tothe rest of the world…willing to bet she won’t go throwing around the word oppressed so cavalier referring to the minorist of inconveniences…
She simply isn’t a priority.
Um.. what prison or jail is not racist again? Or homophobia? Please I need to be enlightened.
So nothing different than that of the United States then.
😂😂😂👍🏼👍🏼😂😂😂
America truly is horrible. Oops it’s not America forgot
Why hasn't the LGBT spared no expense to bring her home? Is it because she's black?
Should have looked up the laws of the foreign country she was traveling to.
😂😂Sounds exactly like American prisons..with exception to 16hr workday i guess
My heart isn't bleeding.
Well she brought illegal things in a country that it's illegal in unfortunately she has to pay the price it is a bit of a hefty price
The US doesn't give a shit about its citizens 😂
Russia welcomes you
FYI don’t break laws in other countries.
Well she did hate America..guess she got her heart's desire.. unfortunately 😔
Americans are so entitled, chauvinistic and privileged that it's just not funny anymore.
Get to work!!
She’s in prison, regardless of the country, it’s still prison. Unfortunate but what can we do.
So basically a US prison? lmao
Like Guantanamo Bay?
She is gonna serve her sentence in Portland?
For a dab pen. 🙃
Welcome to prison same in u.s. but who seems to care
I sware to God Twitter needs a LOL button maybe a WTF button, or even a High 5 button. It would cut down on some of this free speech everybodys bitchen about. Hit a button and move on.
Homophobia & anti black racism isn’t the same thing. It’s comparing a cable & the sun.
Good if you go to another country and break their rules it is only just. Because she is an athlete means nothing. Plus maybe this will keep her from EVER saying she hates America again.
All her American privilege disappeared went she landed in Russia.
Too bad. I guess America ain’t so bad after all.
Homophobia and racism You mean anti Black racism. Stop gaslighting.
That sucks
Damn almost like u know she broke the law and has to pay the time for that oh wait that is what she did
She'll be aight. She tough right!?(cameron voice)
Lucky she didn't get done in Asia! FK around and you find out there!
She hates America. Next time don't take drugs into another country. Maybe she'll see the ol USA in a different light when she gets back!! You never know how good you have it, till ya don't!
She will be fine.
She broke the law so....
Okay
Well yeah it's diff over there they don't have the gay agenda like over here...Oh and have you ever seen a Black Russian? It's def a bummer but she'll prob be out soon i'm guessing....It will have to be the right time and a political move of course...
Terrible
This will teach her not take our country and flag for granted!!!!!
Is she in Texas?
Guantanamo was eerily similar........
I think you get that in American prisons too tho
and not one negotiator can negotiate to get her out Putin is at twitter ! this is unreal
She did break the law, but the sentence is excessive- period.
So am I the only one who reads that she got the okay from her medical team to take the oil over there...but yet she being punished sounds like a set up to me
Good, she hates America. She deserves everything that is coming to her.
No one cares
Sounds like America to me lol
Would have been so much worse playing basketball in the states
Well she broke the law...I'm Russia.. soooo
Whatever your opinion is of her so-called politics, this is 100% Joe Biden's fault. She is being held as a political prisoner because Joe Biden decided to play Captain Save a Hoe and interfere in the war between Russia and Ukraine. Trump would have had her home in 2 weeks.
Sad smh
May God be with her. And everyone who is unjustly punished for non-violent 'offences'.
Lmao at this headline 🤣 what do you think prison is ?
Play stupid games get stupid prizes. 🤣
She done it to herself. She should have follows that country laws she isn't above anyone. Bet she misses that American flag now and what it stands for.
Who cares...
Oh well. She thought she'd be cocky and entitled and a rich, trans snob but got checked. boo hoo. taking drugs into other countries is a slap in the face and disrespectful. Not everyone takes it lightly. Drugs trafficking is a huge issue.
A retired US teacher has been in Russian jail for yrs, like a 14 yr sentence for Cannabis flower. Why is he less talked about, left to rot? Spend inordinate amount of time on B ball player?
💔
Well, it’s prison not Disneyworld.
This is a very unfortunate situation, but before Americans go to other countries they have to learn about that country’s laws and how their vices could violate them. Unfortunately ignorance is not a pass for consequential behavior. wnba BrittneyGriner Russia
Screw Russia!
I bet next time she sees that American flag, it won’t look so bad after all
She shouldn't have brought the hash oil to another country. Having said that, her charges and sentencing was way over the top. Smuggling? Lol.
Omg that's every American with a real job in tge states
Racism and homophobia are not interchangeable.
Is what it is.
She should take a knee in protest!Shes getting exactly what she deserves!Biden or Obama will not save her but Trump can!This is the difference In presidents!Ones a pussy lawyer and the other is a patriot
Lol
SOUNDS BETTER THAN AMERICAN PRISON. WHERES THE HARLEY PASTERNAK STORY harleypasternak
No body tells a BlkWmn what to do...!😏
Well, it's a prison, for criminals, not a walk in the park.
Where’s her white LGBTQ allies at? glaad hasn’t said a word since August 2022.
Free BG
There is no such thing as homophobia and certainly not in prison. A phobia has always been a fear of something not hatred. May as well replace racism with Blackphobia. The days of making it up as you go ..are ending.
let’s not Judge. remember she hates America and she hates the freedom that we have so maybe this is what she was looking for. I’m happy for her.
The national anthem doesn’t seem so bad now does it?
This is inhumane. Something should be able to be done to help her. ✝️
Who cares lol she committed the crime let's forget about her
Thats prison life, isn’t it?
Isn’t that like every prison
oh no not the dreaded 16 hour work day...
Soo she wanted to be treated differently
America is looking pretty good about now, I'd say.
Thank you Joe Biden
😂😂😂😂 she deserves it
Bet he'll never break the law in a foreign country again.
Praying for you girl😘
Well shucks that sucks for her. She should be happy she doesn't have to hear the National Anthem for 9 years.
All of you people here are so judgemental. She made a poor choice thats all. I get it. But she didn't murder no one. And he who is without sin cast the first stone? No one here can say they didn't make a poor choice or do something wrong.
Wow. Makes you want to recognize how awesome it is to live in America.
Why doesn’t the cast of “The View” go and get her
1drcole Commenters: Don’t do the crime, you won’t do the time. Same people: (Trump breaks laws) Witch hunt!
16- hour work day, nice
I can’t stand that this is happening
All this over a fuckin cart. Smh. Pray for this girl.
Make it legal in America before you complain of her treatment.
DoomzKnight
Sucks to suck!
Solution: Have the Feds grab a bunch of Russian NHL players and charge them with espionage. Make a trade for All Americans in captivity for said Russians not one of them being Victor Boot AKA Lord of War 💩😎🇺🇸
Boo hoo. Maybe don’t think you’re above everyone else just because of who you are. Other countries don’t fuck around like we do here
That’s sad and all but she did bring a illegal hash pen into a communist state
GOOD! Done do crime done do time.
FAFO
I know what she is being charged for is nothing in this country and it's over the top but you all know if you were in a Russian prison and she was not ...she would sleep just fine at night.
KEEPBG
heartbreaking, not just for Brittany, but for all in that prison
WeAreBG FreeBrittneyGriner
So you saying people who commit crime and go to jail don’t have good time in there? I’m shocked to this news just shocked
FreeBrittneyGriner
Free Brittany Griner
Why are they treating this girl like this, and under such inhumane circumstances. It has to be a personal matter or issue that the Russian and United States government, have against each other because this has been going on for a while now.
It's prison. You were caught in a foreign country. What did you expect.
She’s facing a really sad situation. But I hope that everyone will understand the freedom difference that we have in USA 🇺🇸.
Did nobody tell her to not bring the marijuana vapes to Russia?
She got what she asked for maybe she can sleep comfortably for a few hours a night knowing somebody may think twice about carrying drugs into a country we are basically at war with!
💔
He will be fine
I bet she's dreaming about standing for that flag now🤣🤣🤣🤣
If you cant do the time dont do the crime
Oh no not homophobia 🤦🏽😆😆😆😆 nobody even knows what that is, it’s been lied on so much. It’s like crying wolf…
If you choose to go to other countries and not follow thier laws then it's your fault. Just cause she's a well known name in the US shouldn't change that fact. She's to blame, so I don't feel sorry for her. Easy don't carry drugs that are illegal in other countries.
Nobody cares
heartbreaking
Fucked around and found out...
She’ll have a very long time to think about her vote for Joe Biden.
What's the difference between that and a US prison?
Let this be a lesson boys and girls… don't bring drugs into a country that deems those drugs illegal as fuck.... Or else, you will have to face consequences. It sucks, but she's been going there since 2014 and knew the risks and knew better. No pity from me.
Duh
Lol really
Oh 🐳
It's prison, it is not suppose to be nice at all.
Really? So...🤔 She will feel like back in the USA that she despises so much.
I can only imagine
I knew they were putting up a front acting like they was going to help her come home. Hell they couldn't even help the Americans with student debt or this inflation. We need better leadership in the house.
Sounds no different than America.
and?
Don't bring drugs into a foreign country. Especially one we're not friendly with. Nothing difficult understanding that. Ignorance isn't a defense.
I bet she thinks twice about breaking laws again
racism in the bop?! Cant happen 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s called Jail. Welcome to Jail.
