Britney Spears was assaulted by a member of Victor Wembanyama’s security team during an incident in Las Vegas, it has been claimed.
The Toxic singer, 41, made her way into Catch restaurant, at the Aria Hotel, on Wednesday evening – where she was joined by her husband, Sam Asghari, and two others.
According to reports, she spotted the San Antonio Spurs athlete, 19, and made a beeline for him, hoping to get a picture.
TMZ reports that the mom-of-two tapped the basketballer on the shoulder when a member of his security stepped in and allegedly ‘backhanded’ her.
She is thought to have ‘fallen to the ground’ during the commotion, with her glasses also knocked off.
The outlet reports that Britney composed herself after the alleged slap and returned to her table – where the member of Victor’s security team eventually apologized for what happened.
