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 a picture 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 deserve to be smacked; security was doing their job and protecting their client.”
“I’ve been with the most famous people in the world, NSYNC, at one time, girls would literally throw themselves at them — on my way into the place, I was knocked down by three twelve-year-olds trying to get my picture. My security not one time touched them or even came 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 was on the floor, my best friend picked me up and held me. I did get an apology at my table thirty minutes later, but I have yet to receive a public apology.”
No charges were filed against Spurs security guard Damian Smith in 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 confirm Spears’ account.
Wembanyama, a much-hyped French center called a generational prospect, has mentioned he wants to “disappear from the media” following the controversial incident.
Spears, 41, who is set to release a tell-all memoir entitled “The Woman in Me” on Oct. 24, decided to decline to file criminal charges after the police report seemed to cast doubt on that prospect.
“Due to the fact that [Smith] did not willfully or unlawfully use any force or violence upon Britney and probable cause did not exist, an arrest was not made, and a citation was not given,” the report read.
