Britney Spears ‘Assaulted’ by Wemby Spurs Security in Vegas?

‘Hit Me Baby One More Time’? Britney Spears claims she was "assaulted" by Victor Wembanyama’s San Antonio Spurs security guard.

Controversial pop diva Britney Spears is alleging that she was assaulted by a member of NBA newcomer Victor Wembanyama's security team while in Las Vegas on Wednesday night,

The security person, working for the San Antonio Spurs, is alleged to have “backhanded her in the face, and she has filed a police report,” according to a TMZ report.

The supposed incident took place at Catch restaurant in the ARIA Hotel around 8:30 p.m., per the report. Spears and her husband were at the establishment and getting “swarmed by fans” before the sometimes-troubled entertainment icon - best known for her 1990s hits “Toxic” and “Hit Me Baby One More Time” - turned into a fan herself.

Spears, 41, approached the 7-3 Wembanyama and apparently patted him on the shoulder to ask for a photo of the two of them … at which point it seems the security guy “swarmed” Spears. … hitting her and knocking her glasses from her face, it is alleged.

Per TMZ: “Britney composed herself and went to her table. We're told the security guy came over to the table and apologized. He said, "You understand how it is when you're being swarmed by fans." He apologized and Britney accepted it.”

Later, though, Spears apparently filed a police report claiming “assault” in the confrontation involving Wembanyama, the French phenom and the first overall pick in the recent NBA Draft who is in Las Vegas to participate as part of the San Antonio summer league team.
