| Quote: | Britney Spears Allegedly Assaulted by Member of Victor Wembanyama's Spurs Security
MIKE CHIARI
JULY 6, 2023
Legendary pop star Britney Spears reportedly filed a police report Wednesday after allegedly getting struck by a San Antonio Spurs security team member who was escorting Victor Wembanyama in Las Vegas.
According to TMZ Sports, Spears and her husband approached the 2023 No. 1 overall pick in hopes of getting a photo with him at Catch restaurant in the ARIA Hotel, but when she tapped Wembanyama on the shoulder, the Spurs' director of team security allegedly backhanded her, knocking Spears to the floor.
Spears reportedly accepted an apology from the security director, but her security team filed a police report on the grounds of battery nonetheless.
00:14 / 00:35
Wembanyama addressed the situation with reporters Thursday, saying he didn't see what happened and didn't even know it was Spears until several hours later:
Per TMZ, Spears is a fan of Wembanyama and approached him for a photo after recognizing him. As part of his apology, the Spurs security director reportedly suggested that he didn't realize who Spears was at first, saying, "You understand how it is when you're being swarmed by fans."
TMZ reported there is a criminal investigation ongoing, and the case is "likely" to be referred to the district attorney.
Wembanyama, a 19-year-old, 7'5" center from France, is viewed as the NBA's next massive star after putting up impressive numbers for Metropolitans 92 in the French LNB Pro A league.
Despite his age, Wembanyama averaged 21.6. points and 10.4 rebounds per game, making him one of the biggest slam-dunk first overall draft picks in recent memory.
The Spurs lucked out by winning the draft lottery, giving them their third opportunity in franchise history to potentially select a generational big man with the No. 1 overall pick.
San Antonio previously used the top pick on David Robinson (1987) and Tim Duncan (1997), which led directly to each of the five championships in franchise history.
Spears, 41, is widely regarded as one of the biggest musicians in the world over the past 25 years.
The Grammy Award-winning singer burst onto the scene in 1999 with her debut album ...Baby One More Time, and over the next 15 years she delivered numerous No. 1 hits. |

The player didn't even know who she was but he was laughing as she was trying to get back up?
(bleep) that
Spears security should have shot this Head of Spurs security for assaulting her
No confirmation but heard he is ex cop..no wonder abusing a woman came so natural to him.
I hope this gets uglier and uglier than it ever should

Nice try, but you got it in reverse. Why the hell is Brittney following him like a stalker? If I were Spurs security I would make sure my number #1 pick isn't being touched by some maniac. |

No need to resort to violently attacking someone for a tap on the shoulder
Especially some small 40 something year old woman
Security failed by letting her get that close in the first place if they're so afraid of someone touching a contact sport athlete
Why don't we hear about more cases of women being thrown to the ground for touching an NBA player... because not all security are as creepy as Spurs security is?? |

I think you miss the point of somebody getting security.
It doesn't matter if she was Brittney Spears. If he didn't know her and the organization wanted to protect their most valuable asset they were not doing their job if they let some random celeb get close to him. Their only job is to protect the client. |

Backhanding a female in the face because she tapped your client on the shoulder was an overreaction on the part of Wemby's head of security. Maybe a strong , extended arm with a warning would have been a better response.
No, Brittney should not have touched his client, but let's say that it was a 6'5 ox of a man tapping Wemby on the shoulder. Would the head of security have reacted the same way? I doubt it.
He overreacted, and popping a woman in the face for a tap on the shoulder reveals a lot about the guy.
On another note, a similar kind of incidence happened with rapper Busta Rhymes. I believe it was at an airport. A lady actually touched/tapped him on his ass, at which point Busta turned and threw his drink on her before his security could react.
I'll let ya'll decide if he reacted properly. |

| Come to find out that the security guard never "backhanded" at all as was first reported. He, without looking, pushed her hand away, which resulted in her actually backhanding herself! That why both parties mutually apologized |

Proof why it’s best to actually find out what happened before making dumb comments.

| The guy still slapped her right across the face. He should’ve placed himself in between Britney and Wemby. |

No he didn’t. He just swept her hand away from Wemby, entirely appropriately, and her hand ricocheted back into her own face.
A compete nothing burger. A washed up former star desperate to get attention.
You think if I rush up from behind and touch LeBron his security detail isn't gonna sweep my hand away from him? |

She violated his personal space. His bodyguard did what his training taught him to do. When a stranger runs up to a client they do whatever it takes to prevent physical contact between the person they are guarding. |

Is there another video I haven’t seen? From the TMZ video, you cannot see Britney being hit in the face by her own arm. I ran back and forth a few times, linked below. It looks to me that Britney’s arm was was below her head when her face was hit and the security guards hand is what slapped her across the head.
