Brittney Griner has been released from Russian prison!
Moments ago I spoke to Brittney Griner. She is safe. She is on a plane. She is on her way home.
She has been detained there since February.
And everyone is obviously really happy about it.
Brittney is coming home. 💕
But one person is definitely smiling bigger than the rest, and that person is Vin Diesel.
You see, Vin Diesel *may* be responsible for this...
A couple of weeks ago, Vin Diesel posted on Instagram advocating for Brittney Griner's release.
Vin Diesel sends a message
In the now-deleted post, Vin captioned a pic of him giving a thumbs up with: "I need Brittney Griner home before Christmas."
And yep, she's coming home before Christmas.
People, of course, *believe* Vin is responsible for this.
Vin Diesel made it happen.. Brittney free y’all 🙌🏾
"Vin Diesel kept his promise," this person said.
Somebody said it was Vin Diesel with the rest of the Fast and Furious team that saved Brittney Griner 😭
This person cried tears of joy.
Vin Diesel really got Brittney Griner home before christmas 😭
And this person saluted his work.
Vin diesel said brittney home before Christmas and like clockwork 🫡
There are memes.
Nobody: Vin Diesel on his way to Russia to save Brittney Griner:
There are celebrations.

And there better be a movie about this!!
The Fast and Furious movie where Vin Diesel and the fam go to Russia and save Brittney Griner is going to be crazy.
Either way, this is exactly the right amount of ridiculous I needed today.
Thank you Vin Diesel. Welcome back home Brittney Griner
Thank you, Vin. <3
