NBA star Victor Wembanyama's security guard slapped pop star Britney Spears. She was reaching behind the basketball player to touch him when the security guard turns around and slaps her in the face, knocking off her glasses. Britney is shocked and her partner Sam Asghari runs to the bodyguard Damian Smith.
The video from this moment is circulating online and after the slap, Britney screams in shock. Then, through a post on Instagram, she reacted and demanded that the NBA star apologize publicly.
"Traumatic experiences are not new to me", says Britney, while emphasizing that she was not prepared for the incident that happened. "I decided to approach him (Victor) and congratulate him on his success. There was a lot of noise, so I tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention. The security guard hit me without looking back, in front of a crowd, almost knocking me down and removing my glasses from my face", said the singer and added that the crowd very often turns towards her and on the same day as the incident, at least 20 people went towards her and her security guards did not hit anyone.
Britney's husband, who was present when the incident happened, also reacted to the incident. He said that he is against violence in any form and that he hopes that the bodyguard will learn a lesson and change his behavior towards women.
According to sources for TMZ, Damian apologized to Spears, saying that she understands very well what it's like to be surrounded by fans.
Despite the incident, Britney will not file a lawsuit against Damian.
