Watch Video: Britney Spears Gets Slapped Right Across Her Face By Security, Victor Wembanyama Speaks Out On The Incident

Britney Spears Gets Slapped Right Across Her Face By NBA Rookie’s Security

On July 5, while visiting Las Vegas, Britney Spears got into a violent conflict with NBA player Victor Wembanyama’s security crew.

Britney and the others headed over to Catch, and as they stepped inside, Britney noticed Victor. She approached him since she was a fan and asked if they could snap a picture. We’re informed that when she touched his right shoulder on the back, the San Antonio Spurs’ director of team security—the team that selected Victor last month—immediately backhanded her, sending her to the ground and breaking her glasses.

The head of team security for the Spurs, Damian Smith, is identified as the guy who struck Spears during the altercation, according to TMZ, which broke the news and confirmed it on Thursday, July 6.

We don’t yet know the specifics of the police report or if Spears will file a criminal complaint.

Victor Wembanyama Speaks Out On The Britney Spears Incident

Victor Wembanyama is voicing his opinion.

Wembanyama opened up to the media about the incident after Britney Spears claimed that she had been smacked by a San Antonio Spurs security guard during a meeting with the NBA star.

“I saw the news obviously,” the 19-year-old basketball star said in a video shared by KENS reporter Nate Ryan on Twitter. “I woke up to a couple of phone calls. Something did happen a little bit when I was walking with some security of the team to some restaurant. We were in a hall and there was a lot of people so people were calling me obviously.”

The athlete said that “one person” continually yelled his name, but did not stop  after being told by security that stopping would make a large crowd form.

“That person grabbed me from behind,” he continued. “I didn’t see what happened because I was walking straight and they told me ‘Don’t stop.’ But that person grabbed me from behind, grabbed on my shoulder. She grabbed me from behind so I just know that the security pushed her away.”

I don’t know how much force was used, but security shoved her away, the athlete said. I didn’t stop to look so I kept walking and enjoyed a nice dinner.” When asked whether he knew if the person that was trying to get his attention was the famous musician, he explained that he “didn’t know for a couple of hours.”

When Wembanyama got back to the hotel, he considered the event to be “no big deal.” When security told him the person was Spears, he thought they were joking. “First I was like ‘No, you’re joking.’ But yea it turns out it was Britney Spears,” he said. “I didn’t know because I didn’t see her. I never saw her face. I just kept walking straight.”
