Britney Spears Allegedly Assaulted by NBA Star’s Security; Files Police Report
Pop icon Britney Spears found herself in a distressing situation on Wednesday night when she was allegedly struck in the face while attempting to take a picture with NBA star Victor Wembanyama. The incident took place in Las Vegas, Nevada, where Spears had encountered the basketball player at a restaurant.
According to Spears, she decided to approach Wembanyama to congratulate him on his success when a member of his security team backhanded her, causing her glasses to fall off. The singer filed a police report with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, claiming she was assaulted.
Expressing her shock and trauma on social media, Spears said, Traumatic experiences are not new to me, and I have had my fair share of them. I was not prepared for what happened to me last night. She mentioned that her security team has never resorted to violence when dealing with fans, despite being swarmed by them on multiple occasions.
The Las Vegas PD confirmed that they had responded to a battery investigation and a police report had been filed. However, they did not disclose the identities of the individuals involved. An official spokesperson from the Las Vegas PD stated, No arrest or citations have been issued. No further details will be provided at this time.
Wembanyama, in an interview, claimed that he did not witness the incident as he was instructed to keep walking without stopping. He mentioned that he felt someone grabbed him from behind, and his security simply pushed the person away. It was only later that he became aware of Spears’ identity.
Spears’ husband, Sam Asghari, also took to social media to express his opposition to violence and emphasize the need to defend women. He hoped that the person involved would learn from the incident and change their behavior.
In her social media posts, Spears expressed disappointment in not receiving a public apology from Wembanyama, his security, or the team. She highlighted the prevalence of physical violence in the world, often occurring behind closed doors. However, she also appreciated the support and love she has been receiving from her fans. She thanked the Las Vegas PD and the detectives for their assistance.
As of now, Spears’ attorney has not issued any comments regarding the matter. The investigation is ongoing, and more details are expected to emerge in due course.
The incident serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by celebrities when it comes to interacting with fans and the importance of mutual respect and boundaries. It remains to be seen how this situation will be resolved and what actions, if any, will be taken against the individual involved.
