The incident took place on Wednesday at the Catch restaurant in the ARIA Hotel, Las Vegas. Spears and company went to their table following this incident. The director of security, Damian Smith came over to apologize, as it was not his intention to hurt her and that he did not know who she was during the altercation. Britney was wearing glasses which can explain his claim.
Spears accepted the apology and Smith then spent some time with Britney’s security team. Later, Spears filed a police report. The action was completely unintentional and the security director was only trying to do his job. There won’t be any sort of criminal charges, as Damian was trying to protect Victor.
This is so random 😭

Fans on Twitter were puzzled to hear the news saying, “This is so random”, and all sorts of comments. Most of the time, players have a pretty calm and humble meeting with celebrities. Though it was Spears’ first encounter with Victor, things seemed to have gone south. It’s tough to say whether Britney is still a fan of Victor.
