Brittany Schmitt was one public figure who dipped her toes in controversy back in 2021. She is known for being an outstanding stand-up comedian who blew up on the scene over the last couple of years. Schmitt also happens to have had a brief association with the NBA at one point. Romance rumors surfaced a couple of years ago between her and Danny Granger.
Granger played in the NBA between 2005 and 2015 averaging 16.8 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 1.9 assists per game. It was quite unfortunate that he never got to have a full career as he dealt with a spree of injuries that forced him to retire early. However, he was linked to a joke Brittany had made a couple of years ago regarding Jehovah’s Witnesses. Granger amongst a handful of other NBA players happens to be from that very community.
Brittany Schmitt once appeared on the No Pill Friday Podcast and briefly addressed what happened to the NBA player she referred to. She said, “Nothing that I say is a bit. Turns out that I ruined someone’s life with one of my bits this past week. Did you guys see that?” Schmitt was making an obvious reference to the Jehovah’s Witness joke has made a week before appearing on the podcast. She claimed that he had to remove himself from social media and step away from the spotlight.
What did Brittany Schmitt joke about?
Brittany Schmitt’s comment dates back to October 2021. One of her bits during a show revealed that an NBA ex-boyfriend of hers, called her to come clean about his faith and wanted her to repent. “I heard from a guy recently that I used to hook up with in the NBA. And I figured he was going to be calling to talk about the glory days, the wh***y days. But instead, he calls to tell me that now he’s a Jehovah’s Witness and I should repent,” she said in a clip uploaded by Don’t Tell Comedy on YouTube.
By the looks of it, Schmitt was expecting the NBA athlete to rekindle a certain part of their relationship. However, she claimed that she was surprised that he called to tell her he was a Jehovah’s Witness. And that he wanted her to repent of their past relationship.
Schmitt never revealed exactly who the player was. But the only athlete she was rumored to be entangled with was Danny Granger. While he is from the Jehovah’s Witness community, he isn’t the only NBA athlete who follows the belief system.
Lmao I instantly thought Darren collision cuz I knew he was since UCLA. When she said

Fans and social media users only believe it was Granger because of his belief system and that they dated openly. However, Brittany Schmitt could’ve been talking about someone else, a person whom she dated in private. Another part of her bit also revealed that the NBA player was light-skinned. This added more fuel to the fire and flared up fans’ suspicion over the former Indiana Pacers star being the ex.
