What happened to Wemby, Britney?

According to TMZ, the incident took place at 8:30 p.m. when Spears entered the restaurant with her husband, Sam Asghari and two other people.

It was at this time that she saw Wembanyama, who is in town for his much-anticipated Las Vegas Summer League debut.

Spears reportedly walked over to ask the No. 1 overall draft pick of the 2023 NBA Draft whether the two of them could take a photo together.

She made physical contact with Wembanyama, prompting his security to backhand her.

TMZ identified the person who hit Spears as Damian Smith, the San Antonio Spurs' director of team security.

Smith later approached Spears at her table to apologize for the slap. Spears accepted his apology but decided to file a police report later on.
