In a shocking incident, pop star Britney Spears was allegedly assaulted by a member of NBA star Victor Wembanyama’s security team at the Catch restaurant in Las Vegas. According to TMZ, the incident happened around 8:30 PM when Britney, accompanied by her husband Sam Asghari and two others, were at the restaurant for dinner.
As the pop icon moved through the casino, fans reportedly surrounded her. Upon spotting Wembanyama, whom she admired, Spears approached him for a photo. However, the situation escalated unexpectedly when the Director of Team Security for the San Antonio Spurs, Wembanyama’s team, allegedly backhanded Britney, causing her to fall and dislodging her glasses.
Britney managed to collect herself and continue with her dinner. It is reported that the security official later approached her table to apologize for the incident, stating the difficulties in managing a crowd of fans. Spears accepted the apology but decided to file a police report for battery against him with the Metropolitan Police Department.
