Britney Spears and athlete Victor Wembanyama have shared their varying accounts of the Las Vegas slapping incident, making it difficult to create a clear picture. News of Britney getting slapped by the NBA basketball player’s security broke on Thursday. At the time, the athlete confirmed the incident did happen. However, he defended it by stating his bodyguard only reacted by “pushing her away” because she grabbed him from behind. His statement forced Britney to address the slap on social media, letting the world know she only tapped him to get his attention in the loud vicinity.
Details of Britney Spears’ Las Vegas Slapping Incident
While each party has stuck to their own accounts, a third party has now shared details of what they witnessed. Speaking to TMZ, one eyewitness who was dining at the Catch restaurant at the time recalled Britney’s creation when she walked in after getting slapped. According to them, the songstress looked very agitated having been hit just moments earlier outside the facility. The crooner then spoke in a very animated voice, reporting that the security guard just punched her in the face.
As she spoke, she gestured toward the culprit, who was seated at another table. At her words, Britney’s security guy went over to the other guard and asked him to apologize. Victor Wembanyama’s security guy complied, walking over to Britney Spears’ table and saying “I’m sorry.” The security guy also explained that he had no idea it was the songstress before hitting her. Per the eyewitness, Britney appeared shocked after his explanation and rushed off to the bathroom.
She has since expressed displeasure at the fact that neither Victor nor his team has reached out with a public apology. In her Instagram detailing the incident, Britney wrote,
“I have yet to get a public apology from the player, his security, or their organization. I hope they will. I also don’t appreciate, nor do i think this a laughing matter.”
With Britney Spears and athlete, Victor Wembanyama sharing different recollections and defending their accounts, how the Los Vegas slapping incident truly played out remains sketchy. Meanwhile, a criminal battery investigation is ongoing, with the Metro police working to see that justice prevails.
