Britney Spears has spoken about her recent incident with a member of Victor Wembanyama’s security and her reaction immediately afterward.
Surveillance video obtained by TMZ has been released that appears to show Spears punching herself after the pop star’s hand was knocked off the San Antonio Spurs’ first draft pick.
After the incident, Spears, in a British accent, yelled, “That’s America to you. Fuck y’all.”
In an Instagram post on Friday night, she continued to throw shades at the security guard, saying her reaction was “a scream on every level.”

“I’ve been working in the industry for years and I’ve been with some of the most famous people in the world…NSYNC at one point were like The Beatles…girls would throw themselves at them wherever we went…not a single one once in my life has a security guard ever punched another person!!! which i approved.. i have felt helpless in most situations and my experience in vegas and my reaction was a scream on all levels …I’ll say it!!!No, I don’t feel like I’ve been treated as an equal person in this country…of course, when I saw the video myself…the people who really crowded around me when they heard Getting hit made me feel like I mattered!!! 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.
Spears initially accused a member of the No. 1 pick’s security team of backhanding her in the face when she approached him for a photo Wednesday night.
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.”
