Britney Spears was assaulted by a member of Victor Wembanyama’s security team during an incident in Las Vegas, it has been claimed.

The Toxic singer, 41, made her way into Catch restaurant, at the Aria Hotel, on Wednesday evening – where she was joined by her husband, Sam Asghari, and two others.

According to reports, she spotted the San Antonio Spurs athlete, 19, and made a beeline for him, hoping to get a picture.

TMZ reports that the mom-of-two tapped the basketballer on the shoulder when a member of his security stepped in and allegedly ‘backhanded’ her.

She is thought to have ‘fallen to the ground’ during the commotion, with her glasses also knocked off.

The outlet reports that Britney composed herself after the alleged slap and returned to her table – where the member of Victor’s security team eventually apologized for what happened.

‘You understand how it is when you’re being swarmed by fans,’ he is reported as saying, with the music icon accepting his apology.

Her team reportedly filed a police report with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, citing battery.

The reports come just days after the Baby One More Time star left fans devastated when she failed to appear during Sir Elton John’s headline stint at Glastonbury last month, after being rumored to be making a surprise cameo.

The pair collaborated on Hold Me Closer in 2022, marking her first release since her controversial conservatorship came to an end.

When Sir Elton was confirmed to be headlining the annual festival, fans were convinced that Britney would be popping up for a special appearance.

The rumormill continued to swirl when she was spotted in Mexico, but instead he shared the stage with Rina Sawayama and Brandon Flowers among many others.

Fingers crossed we can get a performance from the talented duo soon.

Metro.co.uk has contacted reps for Britney, Victor and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department for a comment.
