Britney Spears released a statement about getting hit in the face after approaching Antonio Spurs basketball player Victor Wembanyama.
Britney Spears reflected on Wednesday’s incident in which she says she was hit in the face after approaching star San Antonio Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama in Las Vegas, saying the group of fans that was around him offered no excuse for the security official’s reaction.
Spears recounted her experience approaching Wembanyama after recognizing him in her hotel and seeing him again at a restaurant in a different hotel. The singer says she went up to Wembanyama to “congratulate him on his success,” and she tapped Wembanyama on the shoulder to get his attention because it was loud, contrary to Wembanyama’s statement that “I grabbed him from behind.”
Wembanyama explained that he heard someone calling his name, but that he had discussed with his security team that he wouldn’t stop since that would just increase the crowd.
