It was me saying fuck y’all…that was MUCH BETTER THAN PUNCHING BACK! Either way, I’m still a huge fan of the NBA player…no it’s his fault that his security beat me up… Shit! Hope you all are having a wonderful Friday!!!”
Spears claims she was assaulted by security personnel, but Las Vegas police will not file criminal charges.

VICTOR WEMBANYAMA’S SECURITY WILL NOT FACE CHARGES FOR BRITNEY SPEARS SLAP, POLICE SAY
According to an incident report obtained by Fox News Digital, a person inside Spears’ camp told police that the security guard “hit” her “in the face with a clenched fist.” The person also noted that after they sat down for dinner, the security guard came over to apologize.
But the incident report also noted that security footage showed the security guard pushing Spears’ “hand away from the player without looking, causing Britney’s hand to smack her face.”
The police update follows Spears’ statement that she was assaulted by Spurs security personnel.
“I am aware of the player’s statement in which he mentions ‘I grabbed him from behind’, but I just tapped him on the shoulder. His security then punched me in the face without looking back, in front of a crowd. He almost knocked me over, causing me to my glasses come off my face,” Spears wrote in a statement posted on her social media.
“People surround me all the time. In fact, that night. I was surrounded by a group of at least 20 fans. My security team didn’t hit any of them.”

Wembanyama told reporters earlier that he did not know Spears was the person involved in the incident and that he remembered being grabbed from behind before his security guard “pushed” her.
“I didn’t see what happened because I was walking straight and I didn’t stop. That person grabbed me from behind, not by the shoulder. He grabbed me from behind,” she said. “I only know that security pushed her. I don’t know how hard, but security pushed her. I didn’t stop to look, so I was able to go inside and have a nice dinner.”
