Where Is Brittney Griner Vanished? WNBA Star Missing After Arrested News, Is She Still In Jail?

Brittney Griner vanished for weeks only to emerge on the state television with a mug shot. She was arrested for drug charges by the Russian authorities.

Griner’s last sighting before being arrested was at the Sheremetyevo Airport, outside Moscow where she was seen wearing running shoes, black sweatpants, and a black hoodie.

Her final footage sees her sitting in front of a man, shaking her head ‘no’.

Griner appeared on state television afterward.

After being arrested on drug-related charges, Brittney, who flew to Russia for the basketball league in February, remained away from the public attention. Now, the citizens are pressurizing to give the attention her arrest deserves amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Experts and fans have shown their frustration exposing gender inequalities. If the detained player was a man, the case would have been given major coverage.

 Brittney Griner is a lesbian. As per some fans, her detainment has been strangely muted.
