Brittney Griner fled from a planned speaking event in Maryland on Monday morning after the discovery.
Brittany Griner fled her hotel and canceled a speaking engagement in Maryland after finding a note reading "Gay Baby Jail," which she perceived as a threat. The hotel clarified the note was a meme left by a previous guest. Griner, a WNBA star and three-time Olympic gold medalist, had previously been imprisoned in Russia for marijuana possession and was returned to the U.S. in a controversial prisoner swap involving arms dealer Viktor Bout.
