Britney Spears, ‘back handed in the face’ by basketball player Victor Wembanyama’s security, wants a public apology

Singer Britney Spears has issued a statement after a member of basketball player Victor Wembanyama‘s security detail allegedly struck her in the face Wednesday in Las Vegas.

The “Hold Me Closer” artist posted a lengthy message Thursday on her Instagram story recounting the incident, denouncing the security guard’s alleged behavior and responding to Wembanyama’s own account of what happened.

“Traumatic experiences are not new to me and I have had my fair share of them,” Spears wrote. “I was not prepared for what happened to me last night.”
