Her voice deep like a mf
So? If you were tall like that your voice would be deeper too.
Oh is that a scientific fact ?@@Sarappreciates
@Sarappreciates what does height have to do with your vouce?
Get over it.
She's hot AF 😍
Many of the commenters here validating her feelings of not fitting in. “Be Best” my a$$. It doesn’t hurt you to let someone else be who they are.
"Merchant of death "
Her?
That is a dude.
@@doomedspacemarine5076He was called Lord of War.
People are stunned about her voice
@@chocolatepie84Exactly! Everybody deserves love & acceptance. I'm sure she knows her voice is deep. Would it kill you to point out similarities instead of differences?
Hey, stop proving her point with these comments. What is wrong with some of you?
No One even knew who he was until they smuggled drugs internationally
Right. They are sick
Tell it to stop trying to be a man 😂😂. Human highlight reel 😂😂😂
They were the mean kids who antagonized any kid that was “different” in school. So sad when you can’t help how you look. 😭
Some of US fought for her, and your rights. Even her right to hate her country. Guess what? I earned that right to speak, too. She hates her country and begs US to save her.
Go join the military and shut up.
Bet that soldier who got left behind feels isolated
The soldier who stole from the us marines? Let the Russians keep that traitor lmao
@@mitchell716exactly!!!
@@mitchell716exactly, they strategically leave out that part
@@mitchell716 In this kind of situation, there is always the accusation of stealing. It may not be true.
What happened to her Voice? She/He she’s in a Women’s Baseball if she sounds like a male
6 ft nine.What the hell.????
Such a beautiful soul ❤️ Why can't people just cherish diversity.
This kid never asked to be born this way.She is sooo darn pretty.
Rather have Robin interview me instead of Oprah snd Gail 😮🤬
Didn't Robin play basketball? I could be wrong. It may be a different lady that kinda looks like her 🤔🤔🤔
@@kw9568
Yes. She was a College hooper from SLU.
She is in the Women’s Basketball Hall Of Fame. (Not sure if it is for basketball, or sports journalism, tho.)
@joiisler3012 oh okay. Then yes, in that case Robin is definitely the person who should interview her. Considering that she played basketball and could understand how it feels to be in her shoes.
Yes, Robin can relate more considering that she was a hooper.
Robin would be the only woman who could fit Britney's shoes, literally!
Woah I thought it was a commercial playing, but it was her voice
Your mom
@@xlkarma8446 ok Brittany 👍🏿
Well she’s a guy
@@BigBuddy45no she isn't she just has a deep voice
That’s a boy!!
I’m so glad she’s safely back home and healing. Ignore the idiots in the comments ❤
I'd never heard of her before her incarceration in Russia but prayed for her return. Whether people accept her orientation or not, doesn't matter. She deserved to be brought back home.
She is so beautiful. It shows even more now.
Brittney is such a sweet person.
God bless her, I have tears. Thank God, I was raised to love everyone no matter what. Until I understood some people are too mean to love. I can't stand Bullies. I grew up in a small city and one thing about the people in my community, guys didn't tolerate Bullying if you were from the neighborhood.
I’m glad Brittney is home ❤
Never heard of her before her time in Russia but am glad she's home too.
her voice deeper than mine dammnnn nle choppa
Go to black hell
😂 why
Brave, that's who she is. I hope she understands that sometimes the life bump we find is part of growing. Love to her and her family, glad she is at home. 🏀🏳🌈
She hates America. We never should have allowed her back here.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ You Soooooooo Much Brittney
Where can find the complete video interview??
Hulu, now. It aired on ABC already. (Bits and pieces on uTube, tho.)
I watched it on ABC website.
up ya booti and around da corner
I thought it was jackson mahomes
🤣
Man looks more like a man now she's got to be a juicing
"It" 🤣
Wow does look like him
Word of advice from a 66-year-old black man: DON'T LET THE HATERS DESTROY WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO PICK YOURSELF UP GET IT TOGETHER AND KEEP GOING GOD IS WITH YOU!!!❤
We got a bot in the making
Maybe if the elders of your community tried to teach the younger ones accountability and class you wouldn't be in the position you are as a people. How embarrassing to bring race into it, but that's par for the course with you guys.
@@SpencerBrooklynStewart Says the CZcams philosopher. STFU....
@@awil4320 the truth hurts 🤗🤗🤗
@@SpencerBrooklynStewart love the truth
My heart breaks for you Brittney! Hold your head up high you are loved by many!
Its not just russia, you take weed in any country your getting arrested!
Gee. I wonder why.
Prayers
I was just about to make a comment about her voice, but then she talks about it and you hear the pain in her voice…real pain…and it dawned on me, people know what they’re dealing with and don’t need another critic…truly when “being kind cost nothing “ took over my mind….like just stop ✋🏾
T will do that
I hate that BG felt isolated. I think she’s a beautiful human being. I LOVE her voice, I miss the locs but the curly fro is cute 😍I hope this interview and memoir spark an overwhelming amount of support for her ❤
She's a dude who became a woman.
Same!
She’s a beautiful woman and a serious inspiration for athletes. I’m so sorry that so many people suck. You’re breaking barriers just by existing and that’s a friggin LOT - enjoy your success and your life and I’m glad you’re home.
I really hope she never reads any comments
I hope someone like her has enough sense not to waste time on social media reading hateful comments.
You are loved, BG!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
By no one.
@superoldgamesaturday 3277 quit being nasty.
Remember those still praying for you 😊
I love your hair Britney.
Brittney comes across as a very nice person. Soft-spoken, modest, level-headed, reflective and kind.
Why can't more people be like that?
You're amazing and my heart goes out to you. So happy you're home!❤❤
She changed her voice and her look. How does she not know it will be an issue smh
Brittany, thank you for telling your story. They tried to shame and humiliate you. They robbed you of your freedom. You had the Faith and Strength to survive it. The shame and humiliation is on them. As I was watching your interview I was touched by the vulnerability you showed. Embrace that together with your strength. I was wondering if you and your wife planned to have children. And then at the end of the interview you shared you are expecting. A child is the joy you deserve. I know as a mother, and grandmother their is no greater joy. May God continue to Bless you and give you strength.
How did they rob her of her freedom? She is the one that broke the law,actually she should still be in prison,if it was a normal everyday citizen Briben would of let her rot,but instead he brought her home and left others there....don't do stupid stuff and you won't have a problem.
Russia had the power to decide who would allow in trade so no one’s choice but theirs. I envy you your perfection. You have never made a mistake. You are ignorant to your ignorance and therefore can float through life gleefully nurturing your hatred with the belief you are righteous.
@@marlareed1427
She robbed herself. She made the choice to take an illegal drug in another country.
Britney, we love you.
*I think people are being too hard on **_it._*
🎯😂
She can be who she wants,idont agree with how they got her out of prison, that was wrong,she knew better than to take that with her,she probably had taken them before and didnt get caught.
Oh so she should be detained for 10 years in Russia and be treated like an animal..? how “fair” of them! Maybe she’ll learn her lesson for next time! You’re reaching babe
@@kendalllockhart6406 I'm not reaching,no I don't think she should have gotten ten years,but the way they got her released was wrong,I don't believe her story about forgetting it was in there,people that use don't forget where their stuff is.
@@kendalllockhart6406 BABE! LMAO
How the F is this news?
It's a human interest story, not a news story. Stop hating
@@valve6642It's a sob story to sell her book 🙄
She has a story..... she wants to share her experience
Because of people like you
How the f is this a valid comment? 🤡
Respect and peace to BG and her growing❤ fam.
I'm glad you're safely back home with your partner 😊❤
The internet really has given me a platform for ppl to be nothing less of evil and inhumane. Yet Im sure many say they believe in God and act furthest from that. Not one keyboard coward would spew their evilness to her face. But go off. She is still successful and living her life happily. Thank goodness!
She is as God made her!
She'll help many ppl..
Cowards do make comments on social media that they would never make to someone’s face.
Facts!
God made her queen to give life and she walking around here trying to be a man. Shameful!
The things people do for money. Next time leave the weed at home.
He doesn’t look much different from most basketball players. They just aren’t pretending to be women.
Britney is a woman. She is not transgender she is an actual woman.
This was a very good segment. Looking forward to hearing more about her story.
Who gives a crap about him anyway
I do, DEMON.
Not a lot of people.
Obviously, you do when you WATCHED the video, SCROLLED down to the comment section, CLICKED on the comment box, TYPED a comment, and HIT send. No one did all of that if they didn't care.
Her. Britney is a woman.
How can you not care about Brittney's story? You'd have to be subhuman not to feel compassion for her!
I am sitting at wing stop waiting on my order, I feel isolated.
No woman wants you that's why you are feeling isolated 😊.
I guess the fact that she is free isn’t enough. An American vet was left behind.
Stay away from Oprah and Gail, Brittany!!!!
The lord god will heal her amen
What's with that hair &voice(deep
How come the drugs weren't discovered in the U. S. Before departure from the U. S.? I think she should have served the full sentence. I pack my own bags too. I don't take drugs and I would never transport them into a 3rd country. I don't handle anything I haven't bought myself either.
Ugh milking the system and signing a book deal
She’s getting her money and it’s nothing that a white person wouldn’t do
Her whole, “pay equity” thing is ludicrous. The WNBA is only worth $60 million, and wouldn’t exist had the NBA not bailed them out. The NBA is worth $10 billion. This is why there’s such a huge disparity in pay. If the WNBA starts bringing in the same amount of money as the NBA, I’m fairly certain, the players will get the same kinds of contracts NBA players get.
The WNBA is worth 200 million
She, like most WNBA players, are asking for pay "equity". Not pay equality.
This means they want a similar cut of the WNBA revenue that NBA players get from NBA revenue.
NBA players get 50% of revenue while WNBA players get 10% of revenue.
I’m sure you are the type of person that forgets they have ammunition in their luggage when going to Turks and Caicos.
You get paid on merit! 60million? They have never turned a profit!
WNBA players aren’t looking for the same salaries as their NBA counterparts. They’re looking to earn an equal percentage of their league’s shared revenue.
@kristineducusin1822
They do have revenue sharing, but in order for that to happen, the WNBA needs to turn a profit, which it doesn't. How do you revenue share negative dollars??
Keep your head up live as you choose don't you worry about no humans who can't control their own lives ,You still beautiful 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾👑👑👑🌹🌹🌹😘
Bet Paul Whelan feels left behind 😢
Criminals in solitary confinement usually do. Would you like to go keep him company? I'll pay for your ticket?😊
He's a good guy, leave him alone
Brittany can you sign my dab pen
Poor guy has been through a lot.
💔
Who TF cares? I’m only commenting because the media keeps pushing stories about nonsense. This shouldn’t be a story, let alone something that comes up on my feed.
Um your comment should exist let alone you!
This is a woman not a man simply because her body doesn't look feminine and her voice has always been somewhat deep
Lots of Russian bots in this comment section I see.
I wrote my comment and then scrolled through some of the other comments. My God is there this much hatred and discrimination going on in our country. It breaks my heart. Do you realize what so many have sacrificed to give you your freedom here in the United States. Please don't waste it spewing hatred. Love and acceptance is the only way to live. Make a difference. Fight for Justice every where in the world.
I’m just disappointed that this is the voice we have to validate, an athlete who complains about the west but was a literal prisoner in Russia and she went there freely. Once she was released before others, she now parades around and complains while other would cut off their left hand to be in her position….
I've always thought that Brittney is very pretty, especially with her beautiful life.
That's a man, and you might be a lesbian
I would to ..everyone does
She's prettier than i am.
We still love you Brittany ❣️
No we don’t
No we don’t!!
Nah, you don’t speak for us.
Ignore the haters BG. The people in this world are so filled with hate!!! Its going to be be interesting when they find themselves in a situation and getting the same Treatment. Treat people the way you want to be treated stop with the ugliness against BG!!!!
She’s got a pretty face, deep voice but so what..
If they would have left your ass in a Russian prison. You could REALLY feel isolated.
This dude’s voice is wild
They traded a weapons dealer for a weed smoker.🤬🤬🤬🤬
❤ Brittany!!! Legend! 💪💪💪💪🏀🏀🏀🏀
I would say that there is equal pay considering how little the WNBA is worth! That girl graduating this year will be the closest thing that WNBA has to a chance at making money! There are teams that are worth multiple times what the entire WNBA is worth! How can they pay WNBA players equally to the NBA when they're not even making a tenth of the money
"WNBA players aren’t looking for the same salaries as their NBA counterparts. They’re looking to earn an equal percentage of their league’s." shared revenue
@@kristineducusin1822 but the league losses an average of 10 million dollars a year currently. Plus the NBA gives the WNBA 15 million dollars a year to help pay players salaries. Hopefully all of this new exposure will start making the WNBA profitable then players salaries would increase.
No dis but right off the bat she's a 6'9" woman, the fitting in stops right there! I'm all for people being whomever they want to be, but the truth is...she is different. There's no walking around it!
Watched her more times than I can keep track of playing in AZ.
Her anti america crusade maybe turned US off to her.
She plays basketball. Who cares?
How did she turn the USA off when the us turned on her? She played basketball in the off season… foh
She has never been anti American.
Obviously you do when you WATCHED the video, SCROLLED down to the comment section, CLICKED on the comment box, TYPED a comment and HIT send. No one did all of that if they don't care.
Obviously you don’t. Your hatred is showing. Do better.
BTW, she does get paid not nearly as much as NBA players, being that she plays in the WNBA. Hence, the reason for her playing in Russia. She’s not anti American. Please stop spreading your hatred. You’re only showing your ignorance & hatred.
Are both the basketball player and interviewer males?
Who?
Who cares
And yet here you are commenting 🙄.
When you obviously don’t even have balls on your pool table, you will have that
So what he should of done his time like everybody else who broke the law he knew the laws and broke them
Uhh she*
The hate mongerer is raising children. Appears we are in for another generation of ax holes for reason
He's got pretty tattoos
I swear to God, I am so sick and tired of hearing about this chick.. I could scream!
Chick? She looks like she is transitioning or already has! Do we know her pronouns at this point
Yet you chose to click on a video about her.
@@jujujupiterright?😂 They're messing with their own viewing algorithm
Go scream into a pillow then and get out from the comments section because we’re not interested in your lack of human empathy.
I am so happy she is back here 💕
What soldier did they leave behind? They couldnt get both? Of course not.
He has other issues. And holds at least Three citizenships. People keep leaving that part of his story out.
I am thinking that there is more to his case than we know.
(Still, RUSSIA is probably holding him for Spite. jmo)
Hiw can you value the WNBA, they have never turnta profit.
WNBA players aren’t looking for the same salaries as their NBA counterparts. They’re looking to earn an equal percentage of their league’s shared revenue,
She or he Americans correct me please im confused
Yes, you are if you think anyone cares about your opinion.
❤ So Much More And Larger Than Life ‼️
I promise...I thought it was a whole dude speaking when that dude Brittany started talking. She was "mistaken" for being a male? Bruh...she mistakes herself for being a male.
Just two dudes yapping about nothing with their deep voices.
You’re a sad person. Do better.
Jealous?
@@kendalllockhart6406 jealous of a seven foot man that can barely touch the rim, nah.
Both women are better than you in all possible ways.
@@theresanakagawa5013 I didn't see any women on this video.
Why hybrids look like ty $ sign all the time??
They say isolation is another form of guilt..
No, it's not but nice try projecting your issues on to her.
Not a fan of hers.
BYE!!!!!!!!!
who the hell cares!!!
You must since you are commenting. 😊
Who is this guy?

No [CRY]
What else is it expecting?
just reminded me we haven't heard much from venus and serena lately, how have they been
Right. They are legendary. Not this clown.
Wtf😂😂😂😂 I thought that was a man talking in the beginning. I just saw her and thought a man was talking while she was driving and then I realize oh that’s her.😂😂😂😂
For people to ignorant to understand the way shes built. Her voice, height, skills, and intelligence, coukd be oart of the next step in our evolution and could make her more advanced of a human and better than most of us.
An “explanation” from someone who doesn’t know her at all, and is just guessing, sounds every bit as ignorant as those questioning her gender. js
Evolution? I believe in creation.
