If she had the hashish oil on her (and it was not planted), shame on her and she is going to be in a world of hurt. She will be used as a political pawn sure, but what was she thinking?! When one is in a foreign country, one must respect the local laws.

She should thank her lucky stars she wasn’t in Malaysia.

Death sentence.

In Singapore, she’d already be dead.

Remember when three Basketball-Americans were arrested in China for shoplifting, it was all caught on security cams

They were looking at 10 years in prison, ultimately China let them go

Joe Tsai (owner of the Brooklyn Nets) and Jack Ma got China to release them

Does Brittney know any Russian oligarchs?

We might find out if she’s really a guy.

Seems to have been born female. Don't know what her pronouns are, but she's a lesbian who married another female WNBA player named Glory Johnson. The marriage lasted a month and was annuled because Johnson was pregnant.

If she did that in Thailand she would have been tried and executed not imprisoned.
