In 2023, while attending the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, Britney Spears spotted Victor Wembanyama at her hotel lobby and later approached him at a restaurant to congratulate him.

Spears claimed she tapped him on the shoulder due to the loud environment.

A member of Wembanyama’s security detail allegedly reacted by pushing or slapping Spears.

Spears filed a police report and expressed her disappointment on social media, stating she was “struck in the face” and had yet to receive an apology from Wembanyama, his team, or security.

“Physical violence is happening too much in this world…I have yet to get a public apology from the player, his security or their organization. I hope they will.”
