Britney Spears: What happened in Las Vegas?
The singer patted the athlete on the back. However, a security man who is responsible for the safety of the players of the San Antonio Spurs team stepped in immediately. Originally, the portal reported that Spears apparently hit his face with his backhand, which is why the singer fell. After Spears went to her table, the man went to her to apologize. Spears’ team later allegedly filed a police report.
According to anonymous police sources, surveillance video showed the security guard pushing Spears’ hand away and her own hand hit her in the face, an update said. Different sources from police circles apparently contradict each other, as the incident is currently being investigated. Some speak of the fact that presumably nothing criminally relevant happened. Others have said that the whole thing is taken very seriously and that the case may be handed over to the public prosecutor.
Police confirmed in a statement, according to the Los Angeles Times, that officers were dispatched late Wednesday night due to possible bodily harm. There were no arrests. Spears’ name is not mentioned in the statement and no further details are being released at this time. What exactly could have happened on Wednesday is currently still unclear.
