Britney Spears and her husband, Sam Asghari, were reportedly involved in an altercation on Wednesday night at Catch restaurant in the ARIA Hotel in Las Vegas. The altercation occurred when both Spears and NBA player Victor Wembanyama, who happened to be at the restaurant separately, were swarmed by fans.
Physical Assault and Apology
According to TMZ, Spears spotted Wembanyama and approached him to ask for a photo. She tapped his back, which led to his security team backhanding her in the face. As a result, her glasses were knocked off, and she fell to the ground. However, the athlete and his security team quickly approached Spears and apologized for the incident.
Police Report and Meeting with Las Vegas Police
Despite the apology, Spears’s team filed a police report with the Metropolitan Police Department. The police report identifies Damian Smith, the director of team security for the San Antonio Spurs, as the person who slapped Spears. Las Vegas police will be meeting with Spears to discuss the incident.
Background and Recent Events
Wembanyama, a 19-year-old player from Nanterre, France, is currently in Las Vegas in anticipation of his debut with the San Antonio Spurs. The team has several upcoming games scheduled, including matches against the Charlotte Hornets, the Portland Trail Blazers, the Washington Wizards, and the Detroit Pistons.
On the other hand, Spears has been keeping a low profile since the end of her 13-year conservatorship in 2021. Following the court’s decision to grant her independence from her father Jamie Spears, she has not fully returned to the spotlight. However, notable exceptions include her star-studded wedding to Sam, the release of her duet with Elton John titled ‘Hold Me Closer,’ and her frequent social media posts, which provide glimpses into her personal life.
