Following the recent incident involving Britney Spears and a security guard for Victor Wembanyama, the pop star has shared her perspective on the situation. Newly released video footage seems to depict Spears inadvertently striking herself after the San Antonio Spurs' top draft pick's security intervened.
In the aftermath, Spears was heard exclaiming, "That's America for you." She later took to Instagram, describing her reaction as "a cry out on all levels." In her post, Spears expressed her disbelief that such an incident could occur, emphasizing her extensive experience in the entertainment industry. She stated that she felt the need to address the situation honestly and highlighted the support she received from onlookers.
Spears maintains that she simply tapped Wembanyama on the shoulder, while he claims she grabbed him from behind. Las Vegas police have decided not to press charges against the security guard. The official report indicates that security footage corroborated the guard's account of pushing Spears' hand away, leading to her inadvertently hitting herself.
Spears expressed her disappointment at not being treated as an equal. While acknowledging the incident, she affirmed her continued admiration for the NBA player, emphasizing that she doesn't hold him personally responsible.
Wembanyama stated he wasn't aware it was Spears at the time of the incident and that he only remembers being grabbed from behind before his security intervened.
