The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said Friday it will not pursue charges against a member of Victor Wembanyama’s security after Britney Spears said she was 'backhanded' by him.
"I am aware of the player's statement where he mentions ‘I grabbed him from behind’ but I simply tapped him on the shoulder. His security then backhanded me in the face without looking back, in front of a crowd. Nearly knocking me down and causing my glasses off my face," Spears wrote in a statement published on her social media.
Wembanyama told reporters earlier that he was unaware that Spears was the person involved in the incident and that he recalled being grabbed from behind before his security guard"pushed her away."

I didn’t stop to look so I could walk in and enjoy a nice dinner."
