Britney Spears’ husband Sam Asghari demands apology from Victor Wembanyama under the Spurs Instagram:
“Still waiting on that apology. Until then we assume your team and the NBA is okay with assault and violence against women.”
One eyewitness to the incident in Las Vegas claimed to know what happened between Brit and the security guard. Brian Grajales was apparently on the scene, and told TMZ that Britney was trying to get an autograph from the basketball player.
Britney Spears ‘yelled in British accent’ after being “slapped” by Victor Wembanyama’s security team.
The 41-year-old singer reportedly made a police complaint after she was allegedly “backhanded” by the sportsman’s bodyguard.
An eyewitness, according to The Mirror, revealed that Britney reacted to the incident shouting: “This is f***ing America.”
The shocking incident took place after the singer had attempted to get NBA player Victor’s attention at celebrity hotspot Catch inside the Aria Hotel in Las Vegas.
Britney, who is a “fan” of the player, reportedly went up to him to ask for a photo together. She allegedly “tapped him on his back, right shoulder”, and the security then allegedly “backhanded her,” according to TMZ.
According to the eyewitness, the star “infiltrated” her way into the basketball player’s circle before leaning in and saying in a British accent: “Excuse me, sir … excuse me, sir.” As she went one further and touched Victor’s back, the bodyguard is said to have backhanded her in the face.
Earlier, TMZ had claimed that the case won’t be handled as a criminal matter as it was reportedly determined that the security guard was only trying to defend the star and not hurt the singer. It’s said the guard didn’t know who the singer was when he slapped her.
