Wembanyama Claims Spears Grabbed Him from Behind

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.
