Spears, 41, alleged battery in filing a police
report. The Las Vegas Metro Police Department, however, said
that "no charges will be filed against the person involved."
The police officer who filed the report, John Santo, described
the security footage he reviewed of the incident on Wednesday at
the Aria, a hotel and casino on the Las Vegas Strip.
"Detectives and I were able to review surveillance footage of
the event which showed Britney going to tap the Spurs player on
the shoulder," Santo wrote, per Rolling Stone. "When she touched
the player (the security guard) pushes her hand off of the
player without looking, which causes Britney's hand to hit
herself in the face."
Spears, however, said she was backhanded in the face by security
as she attempted to approach Wembanyama in an attempt to get his
attention for a photo.
Wembanyama, 19, said a person grabbed him from behind and that
his security team dealt with the matter.
Wembanyama is in town for the NBA Summer League and is expected
to make his debut on Friday night when the Spurs play the
Charlotte Hornets.
Spears and her husband, Sam Asghari, were with others on their
way to dinner when the incident occurred.
