We are now getting a breakdown of what exactly happened when Britney Spears got smacked by a member of Victor Wembanyama’s security team.
TMZ reports that Spears and her husband, Sam Asghari, and two friends were dining at Catch at the Aria Hotel when Spears approached Wembanyama to ask for a photo. When she tapped his shoulder, the Spurs’ Director of Team Security, Damian Smith, allegedly backhanded her, knocking her to the ground.
Smith reportedly apologized to Spears at her table after the incident.
An eyewitness to the Britney Spears slap spoke to TMZ about what he saw.
Via the report:
“Brian says she “infiltrated” her way into his circle, leaned in, and in a British accent, said, “Excuse me, sir … excuse me, sir.” She then touched Victor’s back, and that’s when he says the head of Victor’s security backhanded her right in the face.
One law enforcement source told TMZ, the security guy hit Britney’s hand and her hand then hit her face, but Brian squarely disputes that. He says the security guy struck her.
Brian says Britney’s sunglasses flew off, but he doesn’t recall if she fell, but there was a lot of commotion.
He says Victor walked into the restaurant, and, in a British accent, Britney screamed, “This is f**king America!!!”

The security person later apologized to Spears, but her team went forward with filing the police report. Las Vegas police told TMZ that they do not consider the incident a criminal matter as Smith did not intentionally mean to hurt Spears.
Spears’ run-in with Wembanyama’s team came shortly after she posted a series of dance videos via Instagram on Wednesday.
Spears will reportedly meet with Las Vegas police on Thursday.
