Singer Britney Spears has fans standing by her side after she was reportedly attacked by a member of Victor Wembanyama’s security forces.
On Wednesday night, the 41-year-old pop star was dining at the Catch restaurant at the ARIA Hotel with her husband, Iranian actor Sam Asghari, and two others. He went to the NBA star to ask for a picture when the Director of Team Security for the San Antonio Spurs allegedly slapped him in the face.
Britney has filed a police report and is now speaking out about the incident after Sam issued a statement in support of his wife. Victor also spoke about the incident, claiming that he didn’t know it was Britney and claiming that he “held” her instead of patting her on the shoulder – something he disputed.

In a statement on her Instagram and Twitter Stories, the “Hold Me Closer” singer clarified her version of events. “Traumatic experiences are nothing new to me and I have had my fair share of them. I was not prepared for what happened to me last night,” he wrote. “I recognized an athlete in the lobby of my hotel when I was on my way to dinner. I then went to a restaurant in a different hotel and saw it again. I decided to approach him and congratulate him on his success. It was really loud, so I tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention.”
“I am aware of the players [sic] statement where he said ‘I held him from behind’ but I just patted him on the shoulder. His security then returned to hand me my face without looking back, in front of the crowd. Almost knocked me over and knocked my glasses out,” he wrote. “I was surrounded by people all the time. Actually that night. I was surrounded by a group of at least 20 fans. My security forces did not hit any of them.”

His statement continues to the second slide. “This story is too embarrassing to share with the world but it is [sic] out there already,” Britney continued. “However, I feel it is important to share this story and urge people in public to set an example and treat everyone with respect. Physical violence is too much in this world. Often behind closed doors. I stand with all the victims and my heart goes out to all of you!!”
“I have yet to receive a public apology from the players, their security or their organization,” he wrote, adding, “I hope they will…” He then thanked his fans, writing, “I appreciate the love and support incredible. I’m taking it at this point. Thanks to the Las Vegas PD and the detectives for their support.”
