No charges will be filed in Britney Spears-Victor Wembanyama incident in Las Vegas

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department has concluded its investigation into an incident involving pop star Britney Spears and a security guard for NBA star Victor Wembanyama, and no charges will be filed relating to it.

Spears, who accused Wembanyama's security guard of battery, said that after she tapped the San Antonio Spurs rookie on the back, his security "back handed" her in the face without looking back, nearly knocking her down and causing her glasses to fall off her face. However, the San Antonio Spurs phenom has alleged that the "Hold Me Closer" singer "grabbed" him from behind, prompting his head of security, reportedly Damian Smith, to push her away.

"The LVMPD has concluded its investigation of the alleged battery that occurred on July 5, 2023, at 11 p.m., in the 3700 block of Las Vegas Boulevard. No charges will be filed against the person involved," the department said Friday in a statement.
