Prior to Victor Wembanyama making his much-awaited Summer League debut, an unfortunate incident had his name all over the media headlines. While out for a dinner in Las Vegas, revered pop icon Britney Spears tried to have an interaction with the French talent. However, in the heat of the moment, she was hit by Wemby’s security guard. This caused an outrage among the fans. Both Wembanyama and Spears had to face the heat.
A day after the incident, the 19-year-old alien talent addressed the situation. He mentioned not being aware of who Spears was due to the instructions from his security team. Now, after releasing an immediate statement, Spears spoke at length about the incident once again. This time, clearing out the details of what really happened.

The video from the incident quickly exploded. Spears, who appeared to be harmless, approached Victor Wembanyama from behind but was struck by the security’s hand, who tried to keep her at a distance. Since the incident, several media outlets have covered the story, some even having peculiar opinions. Targeting one news channel in particular, the 41-year-old artist diverted to her personal fan experiences to address the situation.
“This radio station, talking smack, talking s**t. That’s why I am addressing it. Saying that I deserved to be smacked, security was doing their job and protecting their client. I have been with the most famous people in the world in sync all at one time. Girls would like literally throw themselves at them. On my way into the place, actually. I was knocked down by like three 12-year-olds trying to get my picture. My security, not one time touched them or even came near them,”.
Britney waiting for a public apology
Previously, Spears released a statement claiming she had never experienced security hit anyone, no matter how popular the people in question were.

Additionally, the singing sensation also noted that she received an apology shortly after the incident. According to Spears, “I did get an apology on my table 30 minutes later”. However, she is adamant about wanting a public apology from Victor Wembanyama or any of his representatives.
The situation does seem to be chaotic with both accounts differing from one another. Many have sympathized with Wemby, including Spears’ husband, Sam Asghari. He felt the blame should fall on the security guard, and not the French wonder kid. The incident shattered the NBA world, and it seems only a public apology will bury the matter.
