Cherelle Griner has been the biggest support for WNBA star Brittney Griner, who is dealing with the toughest moment in her life. Griner was detained at the Moscow Airport in February 2022, for the possession of cannabis oil. A Russian Judiciary court has sentenced her to nine years in prison. Moreover, the Phoenix Mercury center’s recent appeal was denied and her sentence has been upheld.

Cherelle has fought for Brittney Griner‘s freedom since the first day. She is using every platform to remind everyone about BG’s struggles in Russia. Moreover, a recent revelation about Griner from Cherelle at Glamour’s 2022 Women of the Year ceremony has left her supporters devastated.

Cherelle Griner made an appearance at the Women of the Year ceremony, held on Tuesday, November 1 in New York City. BG’s wife talked about her struggles through her anguish while doing everything she can to bring the WNBA star home. The guests at the event included the honored Women of the Year, Shannon Watts, Jennifer Hudson, Angela Bassett, and the Haim sisters.

Cherelle could not believe she was there in front of everyone without Griner. She shared some disappointing news about Brittney Griner’s state of mind in Russia. BG’s wife also urged the guests and the viewers to show their support for BG. Cherelle Griner said, “She is 100% not okay.”

Moreover, Griner’s wife felt helpless that she could not ease the eight-time All-Star’s pain. However, Cherelle felt that her words would certainly help Griner’s cause. Subsequently, the 29-year-old also requested people to write Briner a note to show their support on weareBG.org or by using the #WeAreBG hashtag.

Cherelle has advocated for Griner’s safe return, leaving no stones unturned. She has been in constant contact with the Biden Administration and several human rights groups fighting for the release of Brittney Griner. The 2014 WNBA champ’s wife also met with POTUS Joe Biden regarding the matter. She was assured by the president that the government is doing everything in its power to bring the Griner home.
