Britney Spears has confirmed she filed a police report, after allegedly being backhand-slapped by French NBA star Victor Wembanyama's security team on Wednesday (July 5) night in Las Vegas. It's reported the singer was 'struck to the ground' while with her husband Sam Asghari and two other guests.
In a statement on social media, Spears said she recognised the 19-year-old basketball phenomenon and "decided to approach him and congratulate him on his success". She alleged that she approached Wembanyama to ask for a photo and tapped him on his shoulder because it was "really loud".
She added: "I'm aware of the player's statement where he mentioned I grabbed him from behind, but I simply tapped him on the shoulder. His security then backhanded me in the face without looking back in front of a crowd."
