Britney Spears isn’t done with super-prospect Victor Wembanyama.
After a member of Wembanyama’s security detail slapped the pop star when she asked the No. 1 overall pick for an image at Catch restaurant in Las Vegas, Spears is speaking out to dispel any misconceptions.
“I heard on the news this radio station talking smack and talking s—t, that’s why I’m addressing it,” Spears said in a video released Tuesday night. “[They’re] saying that I need to be smacked; security was doing their job and protecting their client.”
“I’ve been with probably the most famous people on the earth, NSYNC, at one time, girls would literally throw themselves at them — on my way into the place, I used to be knocked down by three twelve-year-olds attempting to get my picture. My security not one time touched them and even got here near them. Point being is, I didn’t appreciate the people saying I deserved to be hit, because no woman ever deserves to be hit.
“I simply tapped him on the back and was backhanded, hit my face, I used to be on the ground, my best friend picked me up and held me. I did get an apology at my table thirty minutes later, but I even have yet to receive a public apology.”
No charges were filed against Spurs security guard Damian Smith within the incident, as Wembanyama claimed he was “grabbed from behind” while Spears said she tapped the 7-foot-3 star on the shoulder.
A leaked video appeared to substantiate Spears’ account.
Wembanyama, a much-hyped French center called a generational prospect, has mentioned he desires to “disappear from the media” following the controversial incident.
Spears, 41, who is ready to release a tell-all memoir entitled “The Woman in Me” on Oct. 24, decided to say no to file criminal charges after the police report appeared to forged doubt on that prospect.
“As a result of the proven fact that [Smith] didn’t willfully or unlawfully use any force or violence upon Britney and probable cause didn’t exist, an arrest was not made, and a citation was not given,” the report read.
