Britney Spears Prays to God Asking When She Will ‘Smile Again’ After Victor Wembanyama Slap Incident
Britney Spears recently took to Instagram to express her emotions after a disturbing encounter with NBA star Victor Wembanyama's security guard. The incident occurred when Spears approached Wembanyama outside a restaurant in Las Vegas and was struck in the face. The Las Vegas Police Department's investigation revealed that Spears had actually hit herself after the security guard pushed her hand away per Daily Mail.
In response to the ongoing aftermath of the incident, Spears shared a meme on Instagram that read, "you will smile again," and questioned, "When's that God ???" This post followed reports that Spears desires an apology, with a source close to the singer stating, "What if this was a little kid? What if it were a handicapped person that tapped him on the shoulder for an autograph? He would be arrested and sentenced to prison time. The security guard had no idea what was behind him he just swung. No one was running. No one was screaming. There was no commotion. There has been no action taken against the bodyguard." The source criticized the lack of action taken against the bodyguard and urged for a simple apology to resolve the matter.
The source also added, "They are being a bully. All they need to do is say we are sorry, and this will all go away. Be a classy organization. Instead, they are trying to spin this by saying her hand hit her own face when it didn't. He smacked her the video shows this." It depicted Spears running up to Wembanyama, tapping him on the shoulder, and the guard backhanding her, causing her glasses to fall off and her to cry out in pain. Spears' loved ones quickly rushed to her side.
