Britney breaks silence after being slapped and demands public apology: it’s embarrassing
A shocked and outraged Britney Spears insists an apology and “respect” are in order after an alleged “embarrassing” slap by a security guard for San Antonio Spurs player Victor Wembanyama.
The “Toxic” singer took to Instagram stories on Thursday, July 6 to share her furious response to the alleged “traumatic” assault and explain her side of the story. “
Traumatic experiences are not new to me and I have had my fair share of them,” the shocked superstar wrote in the statement.
“I was not prepared for what happened to me last night. I recognized an athlete in my hotel and saw him again.
I decided to approach him and congratulate him on his success. It was really loud, so I tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention.
“I am aware of the players statement where he mentions ‘I grabbed him from behind’ but I simply tapped him on the shoulder.
His security then back handed me in the face without looking back, in front of a crowd. Nearly knocking me down and causing [sic] my glasses off my face.
I get swarmed by people all the time. In fact, that night. I was swarmed by a group of at least 20 fans. My security team didn’t hit any of them.”
The mom of two then made a vulnerable admission. “This story is super embarrassing to share with the world but its out there already,” she continued.
“However, I think it’s important to share this story and to urge people in the public eye to set an example and treat all people with respect.
” Britney then lamented the rise of physical violence in general, noting that it’s often “behind closed doors,” and then issued a plea for an apology.
