Brittney Griner’s wife Cherelle has thanked everyone for their support of the WNBA star, who was arrested last month in Russia.
Cherelle Griner posted a picture Sunday on Instagram of her with the Phoenix Mercury center.
“Thank you to everyone who has reached out to me regarding my wife’s safe return from Russia. Your prayers and support are greatly appreciated,” she wrote.
Brittney Griner was detained at a Moscow airport after Russian authorities said a search of her luggage revealed vape cartridges. They were identified as containing oil derived from cannabis, which could carry a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.

Griner was arrested prior to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Wasn’t she one of the ones protesting theNational Anthem? Or do I have her confused with someone else?
So how long will the husband be detained in Russia?
Good thing he didn’t try to sneak it into Singapore.
I wish Russia would have kept it.
Right before the arrest word was that this “couple” was splitting. I think they have a sperm-donated child.
Life Pro Tip: Don’t transport illegal substances across international borders. You might get away with it most of the time. But you only need to get caught once.
And the whole bussed clapped.
Being a lesbian halfrican is not a free pass in Russia, apparently.
Send Hash Oil, she’s running low!
Even another reason to leave the drug user in Russia. Good riddance.
She. And she has a "wife".
Yeah, I'll bet her and her "wife" pray all the time.
“Right before the arrest word was that this “couple” was splitting.”
Splitting is a light word for it.
Then, on April 22, the conversation around Griner changed. She and then-fiancee Glory Johnson, also of the WNBA, were arrested at their home in Arizona on charges of assault and disorderly conduct. The police report described the incident as “mutual combat.” On April 28, Griner pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct (the assault charge was dropped) and agreed to undergo 26 weeks of domestic violence counseling, after which the disorderly conduct charge will also be dropped. Johnson has pleaded not guilty to charges of disorderly conduct and assault; her case is ongoing. On June 5, less than a month after the two married, Griner filed for an annulment. Following the arrests, the WNBA suspended both Griner and Johnson for seven games. Griner resumed playing on June 27, while Johnson, now pregnant, is sitting out the season. (Johnson did not return requests for comment.)
ON HER ARREST “You know, you do something, you have to pay the price for it, and I understand that.”
Well, she apparently understands that there is a price to pay for a criminal act. She makes money, which she doesn’t need, playing in Russia so it is her responsibility to know the laws and customs of the country she is going into. I’m sure she knew that the use of cannabis or marijuana is illegal in Russia for any reason. I have no problem with her spending some time in jail. And it is consistent with her thug lifestyle and attitude. Another idiot athlete trying to get by doing something illegal and then crying when they get caught and the law is going to do what it said it would do even though the athlete didn’t.

I thought I read the child was the result of an affair and that is the reason they were splitting. Modern episode of, “As the World Turns” I guess.
Brittney is detained in custody.
She’s almost 6ft 10 inches.
I’ll be she’s eating a lot.
Hope she likes Borscht Soup with beets and cabbage.
Did she never watch “Midnight Express”?
There are two scenes I recall from watching “Midnight Express” in the theater during its initial release...
1. The VERY heavy heartbeat of the lead character trying to get through customs
2. His girlfriend, while visiting the lead character in prison, pressing “herself” against the window
....”Brittney Griner’s wife Cherelle has thanked everyone.....” I stopped reading right at that point....admittedly, I could give a rat’s a** if she/he/it/that rots over there......
