Victor Wembanyama Breaks His Silence On Clash With Britney Spears in Vegas

It all unfolded on a Wednesday night while Wembanyama was in Las Vegas preparing to showcase his skills in the NBA Summer League.

As he walked with his security team towards a restaurant, he heard someone calling out to him. However, due to security protocol, he couldn’t stop to see who it was.

Suddenly, he felt a grab from behind, prompting his security to intervene and push the person away.

To everyone’s surprise, that person turned out to be none other than Britney Spears, the internationally renowned pop star.

Wembanyama himself was initially unaware of her identity, and it took him a few hours to process the revelation. He explained that he never saw her face during the incident, which likely contributed to the confusion.

While Wembanyama didn’t provide many specifics about the encounter, Spears maintains that the security team used excessive force in pushing her away.

According to TMZ, Britney Spears filed a police report, accusing Damian Smith, the Director of Team Security for the Spurs, of battery.

In response to Wembanyama’s account, Spears took to social media to share her side of the story. She expressed her disappointment at not receiving a public apology from the player, his security team, or the organization as a whole.

The incident has sparked a public dispute between the two parties, drawing attention from fans and the media alike.

Victor Wembanyama has now responded;

“I was walking with security to some restaurant… and there was one person who was calling me. But I couldn’t stop to see that person. And that person grabbed me from behind. Security pushed her away, I don’t know with how much force. I didn’t stop to look, I kept walking, enjoyed a nice dinner”.

In a shock to just about everyone, that person ended up being teen pop sensation Britney Spears.

“I didn’t know for a couple of hours… I was like, ‘you’re joking’. It turns out it was Britney Spears. I didn’t know because I never saw her face”.
