Las Vegas - Britney Spears was allegedly slapped by a security guard for the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night after she tried to take a photo with NBA rookie Victor Wembanyama.

According to TMZ, Spears was at the Catch restaurant at Aria Resort & Casino when she saw Wembanyama and went over to ask for a photo. She tapped him on the back, and the security guard allegedly "instantly backhanded her." Spears was reportedly struck so hard that she fell to the ground and lost her glasses.

The security guard, who has been identified as Damian Smith, the Director of Team Security for the Spurs, has since apologized to Spears. He reportedly told her that he didn't know who she was and that he was just trying to protect Wembanyama from being swarmed by fans.

Spears has not yet commented publicly on the incident. However, she did file a police report, and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is investigating.

The incident has sparked outrage on social media, with many people calling for Smith to be fired. Others have expressed concern for Spears' safety, given her history of being mistreated by her conservatorship.

This is not the first time that Spears has been the victim of violence. In 2007, she was attacked by a paparazzo who broke into her home. She was also subjected to years of abuse by her father, Jamie Spears, who was her conservator until 2021.

Spears has recently been enjoying her newfound freedom after being freed from her conservatorship. She has been traveling, performing, and spending time with her family and friends. However, this incident is a reminder that she is still vulnerable to attack.

The investigation into the incident is ongoing. It is unclear whether Smith will face any charges. However, the incident has raised important questions about the safety of celebrities and the need for better security measures.
