| Spears and Wembanyama |
Rookie NBA player Victor Wembanyama has spoken out about the viral incident when his security detail allegedly slapped Britney Spears in the face.
“Something did happen, a little bit, when I was walking with some security from the team to some restaurant,” the NBA star, 19, told ESPN reporters Thursday.
“We were in the hall. There was a lot of people, so people were calling [at] me, obviously. There was one person who was calling me but we talked before with security.”
Wembanyama said that he “couldn’t stop” when a person, who happened to be the “Toxic” singer, was calling him and he said she “grabbed” him from behind.
“I didn’t see what happened because I was walking straight and didn’t stop,” he added.
“That person grabbed me from behind — not on my shoulder — she grabbed me from behind. I just know the security pushed her away.”

Wembanyama said he was unaware that the fan who tried to talk to him was Spears, 41, until Thursday.
“I didn’t know for a couple hours, but when I came back to the hotel … I thought it was no big deal, and then security of the Spurs told me it was Britney Spears,” the pro baller told ESPN.
