Pop star Britney Spears took to Instagram to express her emotions, questioning when she would find her smile again.
This comes after an alleged incident where she was reportedly slapped by a security guard during an encounter with NBA player Victor Wembanyama outside a Las Vegas restaurant.
The 41-year-old singer was involved in the incident on Wednesday when she approached the 19-year-old basketball player.
In response to the ongoing aftermath, Spears shared a meme on Instagram with the text “You will smile again,” accompanied by a cryptic caption that pondered, “When’s that God???”
Recent reports indicate that Spears is seeking an apology for the incident. A source close to the singer revealed to DailyMail.com that the guard’s actions were deemed dangerous and “disgusting.”
However, according to the Las Vegas Police Department’s investigation mentioned by the Daily Mail, it was revealed that Spears had actually struck herself in the face after the security guard, who was protecting the French player, pushed her hand away.
Despite the incident, Spears expressed that she does not blame Wembanyama but feels she has been treated unfairly.
In an Instagram post, she clarified that she did not want to portray herself as a victim but emphasized her perception of unequal treatment in the country.
The Daily Mail also cited a source close to Spears, who stated that she desires an apology for the incident.
The source raised concerns about the potential consequences if the incident had involved a child or a person with disabilities seeking an autograph, suggesting that the security guard’s reaction could lead to arrest and imprisonment.
The source further criticized the security guard’s use of excessive force, highlighting that there was no evident commotion or immediate threat.
The investigation into the incident continues as Spears and those involved seek resolution and clarification regarding the events that unfolded.
