Britney Spears defended herself from people who said she deserved to be smacked in the incident involving Victor Wembanyama's security.
Spears is yet to receive an apology from Wembanyama and his security, identified as the director of Spurs' security Damian Smith, after the latter backhanded her for approaching the NBA star in Las Vegas. Rather, she suffered criticism for allegedly "lying" not until a video of the incident proved her account.
A week after what happened, she demanded an apology again as she defended herself from people who said she deserved to be smacked.
Britney Spears Condemns Comment After Las Vegas Incident
On Tuesday, Spears took to Instagram to address the recent unfriendly comment she received regarding her run-in with Wembanyama and his security, saying that a radio station talked about the news report and said she deserved to be slapped.
According to the "Toxic" singer, the people in the unidentified radio station - which she did not name - said Smith was only protecting his client and doing his job when Spears tried to get near the basketball star. She recalled how three 12-year-olds knocked her down when she opened for *NSYNC's 1998 Second II None Tour as they wanted to take a picture with her.

"My security, not one time, touched them or even came near them," she said, comparing her security to Wembanyama's. "I didn't appreciate the people saying that I deserved to be hit. Because no woman ever deserves to be hit."
Spears revisited the Las Vegas incident again and shared how she was backhanded by the security when she only tapped the San Antonio Spurs player, leading her to fall to the floor.
While she received an apology 30 minutes later, the singer demanded a public apology from the other party in the aftermath of the incident as she wants "to urge people in the public eye to set an example and treat all people with respect."
Why Britney Spears Wants a Public Apology
Clinical psychologist and host of the "Baggage Check: Mental Health Talk and Advice" podcast Andrea Bonior commented on Spears' recent video and explained how there would be a "merit" to a popular individual who wants a public apology.
In an interview with USA Today, the host explained that Spears' past experience with media scrutiny makes her want to address the humiliating incident publicly.
Wembanyama has not responded to Spears' new statement yet.
