TMZ reports that Britney and her crew, which included husband Sam Asghari, arrived for dinner at Catch restaurant inside the Aria hotel at 8:30 p.m. on July 5. After being “swarmed by fans” upon entering the casino, the “Toxic” singer made the short walk across the hotel lobby into Catch. As soon as she got inside the popular restaurant, Brit spotted Wemby, who is in Vegas to play for the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA’s Summer League.
Britney, it seems, is a big fan of the recent No. 1 overall pick and wanted a picture together. After making her way to the 7’5″ Frenchman, Britney reportedly tapped him on the shoulder. It was then that the Director of Team Security for the San Antonio Spurs allegedly “backhanded” Britney and caused her to fall to the ground. Her glasses were knocked off in the process.
In the aftermath of the chaos, Britney returned to her table. Soon after, the alleged assailant came over and apologized. The security man also said he didn’t know who Britney was when he reportedly slapped her.
“You understand how it is when you’re being swarmed by fans,” he allegedly said, according to TMZ.

Britney accepted the apology and her security team hashed it out with Victor’s security team. Before the evening was over, her security team filed a police report for alleged battery with the Metropolitan Police Department.
Victor is already one of my most hyped rookies in recent decades and is believed to be a generational talent. There was speculation last NBA season that teams would intentionally lose in order to increase their odds of being able to draft Wemby. He ultimately went to the Spurs.

Despite not having played an NBA regular season game yet, Wemby has already become a celebrity in his own right, as he’s been pictured with Travis Scott, Michael Douglas and LeBron James. He also took batting practice at Yankee Stadium and threw out the first pitch before a game.

“It was a pleasure meeting you at a couple @metropolitans92 games in Paris last year,” Michael Douglas wrote alongside a June 23 picture. “Wishing you all the best for an incredible career with the @spurs!”
