Video Of The Victor Wembanyama And Britney Spears Incident Has Surfaced, Somehow Contradicts Both Stories

A San Antonio Spurs security guard working for the team's highly-prized draft pick Victor Wembanyama will not face criminal charges after allegedly slapping Britney Spears.

That's going to go down as one of the wildest sentences related to young, albeit very tall Mr. Wembanyama's career and he hasn't even recorded an NBA bucket yet.

The incident occurred Wednesday night, when according to TMZ, Spears — apparently a big hoops and/or Spurs fan — tried to get the French big man's attention. This happened outside the restaurant Catch in the ARIA Hotel by tapping his shoulder

I'm genuinely surprised that Spears — who is listed at 5-foot-4 — could reach Wembanyama's shoulder.

This allegedly led to one of the large dudes protecting the other very large dude doing what he had to do to keep the small blonde popstar away from his charge.

Spears — known these days for spinning and posting incoherent messages on Instagram — claimed Spurs Director of Team Security Damian Smith "backhanded" her. She claimed this was so forceful that it nearly knocked off her glasses.

According to KSAT, Spears even filed a police report with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.

However, the LVMPD begged to differ with her take on the events after wrapping up their investigation on Friday morning. They confirmed that "no charges will be filed" against Smith.

It's worth noting that Wembanyama's recollection of what went down was fairly different. He said that the team's security advised him not to stop and chat with anyone. He recalled someone saying "sir, sir," before he was grabbed from behind by someone, possibly Spears.

Video Shows The Incident, But Doesn't Really Clarify What Happened

That wasn't the end of the story, because later that same day, a video of the incident emerged. TMZ released the clip which looks to have been shot by a bystander who should go buy a lottery ticket because what luck to catch this on camera.

Now, let's give this the Zapruder film treatment...

It's tough to see but that definitely appears to be Britney Spears, and that's undoubtedly Wembanyama unless another 7-foot-3 dude with security was cruising around Vegas that same night.

You can see a security guard reach out as she tried to get Wembanyama's attention. You can really see her take a shot too. Her head clearly seems to bounce back and to the right. That said, it's hard to tell if it was the security guard's arm or her own hand that hit her.

Additionally, it also dispels Wembanyama's claim that someone grabbed him from behind. Maybe they did, but it sure looks like it wasn't Brittney who did it.

So what did the video teach us? Well, not a whole lot. It showed Britney didn't grab Wembanyama, but at the same time, it doesn't look as chaotic or even intentional as she claimed it was.

I guess, like most things, the truth is somewhere in the middle, and that would appear to be the case here, in one of the weirdest celebrity-on-celebrity interactions since Elvis posed with Richard Nixon.
