Britney Spears was involved in a horrible incident this week. Britney Spears was at the Aria Hotel in Las Vegas. She saw San Antonio Spurs Victor Wembanyama with his security at the hotel. Britney went up to Victor to ask for a picture. She approached him behind him, tapped on his shoulder (that was her version), and then one of Victor’s security guards backhanded her. Britney filed a police complaint and Victor and she both released statements on Thursday. Recent No. Victor Wembanyama, the No. 1 overall draft choice in this year's NBA Draft, has already experienced his first NBA drama. It involves Britney. According to the Associated Press, the San Antonio Spurs phenom has confirmed that he took part in an incident that allegedly occurred Wednesday at the Aria Hotel Las Vegas. A member of his team slapped the pop icon. According to TMZ Spears filed a report with the police identifying Spurs director Damian Smith, the person who backhanded the pop icon. There are conflicting reports as to whether or not the matter would be investigated criminally. Photos show a person who is identified as Spears walking behind Wembanyama, Smith and Wembanyama. Spears, who was walking with Wembanyama into a restaurant at the time, reportedly asked him for a picture and then tapped his shoulder. This allegedly led to the slap. Smith apologized to Spears at her table. She accepted. Wembanyama, speaking to reporters on Thursday, somewhat confirmed the story. He claimed that Spears had grabbed him rather than tapped him on the shoulders and that his security "pushed" her away instead of slapping him: "It happened, just a little, while I was walking to a restaurant with some team security. We were in a hall. It was obvious that there were a lot people and I got a lot calls. One person was calling, but I had already spoken to the security. I couldn't stop. Wembanyama stated that the person who grabbed him from behind was calling out, "Sir, Sir." "I didn’t see anything because I was walking straight, and I didn’t stop. She grabbed my back, not my shoulder. I know that security pushed her out. Security pushed her back, I don't even know how hard. "I didn't look to see if I could get in and have a nice meal." He said he did not know that the person was Spears for several hours. "I thought it was nothing, but then the security at the Spurs informed me it was Britney Spears." At first I thought you were joking. But it turned out to be Britney Spears. I never saw her. "I just kept walking straight." Spears released a Twitter statement in which she refuted Wembanyama’s claim that he grabbed her and highlighted the force of the blow. "I have experienced a lot of traumatizing experiences. Was I prepared for the events of last night? As I was walking to dinner, I recognized an athlete as I passed through the lobby of my hotel. Later, I went to another hotel's restaurant and saw him. I approached him to congratulate him for his success. It was very loud so I tapped on his shoulder to get him attention. I know the player's statement, where he says "I grabbed [him] from behind", but I tapped him on his shoulder. The security guard then backhanded me in the nose without looking back in front of an audience. I was nearly knocked down, and my glasses were ripped off my face. Spears noted that she had been surrounded by 20 fans on the same evening, but her security team did not hit any of them. She asked for a public apologize from Wembanyama and the Spurs, as well as their security. "This story is embarrassing to tell the world, but it's already out there." But I do think that it is important to tell this story, and to encourage people who are in the public eye treat everyone with respect. In this world, physical violence is too common. Often behind closed doors. I stand by all victims, and my h...
