Spears recounted the encounter with the NBA star. “I simply tapped him on the back, and I was backhanded, hit my face, came back, on the floor, but my best friend helped me up. I did get an apology at my table 30 minutes later, but I’ve yet to receive a public apology”

Britney Spears demands public apology for slapgate

Pop star Britney Spears has demanded a public apology from NBA star Victor Wembanyama’s guard who “backhanded” her causing her to fall to the ground.


In an Instagram video, Spears, 41, spoke about the run-in last week. “I heard on the news this radio station talking smack, that is why I’m addressing it.” She said the radio presenters were “saying that I deserved to be smacked, security was doing their job and protecting their client”.


Spears recalled when she was on tour with NSYNC in the early 2000s and was “knocked down by three 12-year-olds trying to get my picture.” She added, “My security, not one time, touched them or even came near them. Point being is, I didn’t appreciate the people saying that I deserve to be hit, because no woman ever deserves to be hit (sic).”
