UPDATE: Investigation Closed on Alleged Assault of Britney Spears by Victor Wembanyama’s Security Team
Britney Spears, no stranger to fan encounters, found herself on the receiving end of a shocking incident when she was allegedly smacked in the face while attempting to take a photo with NBA star Victor Wembanyama. The pop star filed a police report in Las Vegas, Nevada, accusing a member of Wembanyama’s security team of assaulting her.
Sharing her experience on social media, Spears recounted how she recognized Wembanyama in her hotel lobby and later approached him at a Las Vegas restaurant to congratulate him on his success. However, things took a turn when the basketball player’s security team reportedly backhanded her in the face without warning, nearly knocking her down and causing her glasses to fall off.
Spears emphasized that she often faces crowds of fans but was surprised and unprepared for the incident that unfolded. She expressed her disappointment, highlighting that her own security team never resorts to violence against fans. Following the incident, Spears filed a police report, leading to an investigation by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
The police department confirmed the report and responded to the battery investigation but did not disclose the identities of the individuals involved. While Wembanyama stated that he did not witness the incident and was instructed not to stop, Spears clarified that she tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention, contrary to Wembanyama’s claim of being grabbed from behind.
As the investigation unfolded, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department recently announced the closure of the case, confirming that no charges would be filed. The details of the incident and the identities of the parties involved remain undisclosed.
