NBA fans are calling out Britney Spears after her recent video addressing an altercation with Victor Wembanyama’s security went viral. To those who do not know what happened, Spears was allegedly slapped by Wemby’s security after trying to approach him from behind during the time that the NBA Summer League was going on in Las Vegas.
The internet community was quite conflicted over this incident. Some die-hard Britney Spears fans claimed that she should be offered a public apology from Wemby and his security team over this incident. Others defended Victor and his staff by trying to point out that the security was simply doing his job and that she was the one who behaved in a reckless manner.
Britney recently filmed a video on this very issue and discussed her feelings. Let us take a closer look at what she had to say and also find out how fans are reacting to her.
Britney Spears claims to have collapsed after being struck by Victor Wembanyama’s security
Whenever any incident occurs. people either attempt to downplay it or end up grossly blowing their own notions out of proportion. Spears revealed that she decided to make her video after hearing someone on the radio claim that she deserved to be hit and that her security would never behave in a similar manner.
“I’ve been with the most famous people in the world in sync at one time. Girls would actually literally throw themselves at them on my way into the place actually i was knocked down by 3 12-year-olds trying to get my picture. My security not at one time touched them or even came near them. Point being is I didn’t appreciate the people saying that I deserve to be hit. Because no woman ever deserves to be hit.”

We have no way of knowing how Spears’ security reacts when strangers approach her. However, her conclusion had fans dismissing her narrative as lies.
“I simply tapped him on the back and I was backhanded hit in my face came back on the floor. My best friend picked me up and held me. I did get an apology at my table 30 minutes later but I’m yet to receive a public apology.”
Anyone who has seen the video will know that Britney never fell to the floor or even looked close to doing so after being hit by the Spurs star’s security. Yet she claims that her best friend picked her up and held onto her.
As a result of her questionable version some NBA fans are calling her out, “She’s just milking it now, we don’t care anymore.” Others still claim that she deserves a public apology for this incident.
she’s just milking it now, we don’t care anymore

She knows good and well she just lied.
She’s right that she did not deserve to be hit, and she knows security measures better than almost anyone, but she did NOT get smacked to the ground pic.twitter.com/c3dKvboDvt

His security was wrong for what he did. He didn’t look back and automatically backhands. No one deserves that type of treatment.

This was clearly an accident. It would be quite difficult to take sides on this issue. Wemabyama and his staff had no clue who Spears was when she got hit but offered her an apology. Spears claims that her security would never do something similar that that striking her is simply unacceptable. We will have to let the fans decide who to side with in this case.
