The singer Britney Spears has been the focus of media attention for years, and now she has lit up all the headlines again. According to reports, Spears was the victim of abuse by a bodyguard linked to the NBA. This news has left her followers shocked by the iconic artist's well-being.
As more details emerge about this sad episode, there is a need to analyze the impact of abuse in the area of fame and the importance of protecting public figures from any form of violence.
At the Aria Hotel in Las Vegas, around 8:30 PM, a blonde fan trots up on tiptoe to one of the current NBA stars, Victor Wembanyama, who recently signed with the San Antonio Spurs. You hear “sir, sir,” but the athlete was unable to turn at any time. The woman insisted again on his call and subtly touched her back. What happened after?
One of the player's guards raises his left hand to prevent the fan from touching his protégé, and with some violence causes one of the hands, which one cannot be clearly seen, to hit the woman's face, causing her glasses to come off. flying. This must be something that happens many times with fans, but since they are not recognized people, the news does not transcend.
On this occasion, the person violated was none other than the pop princess, Britney Spears. She was a little shocked, as we see in the images, while the athlete and his security group continued walking. Britney's testimony did not take long to arrive.
“I saw him and wanted to go over and congratulate him on his success. Everything was very loud, so I touched him on the shoulder to get his attention,” Britney says in one of the posts she made about what happened. “Then, without looking back, one of his security personnel hit me with his hand in my face, in front of a crowd. “I fell to the ground and my glasses flew.”
“Fans approach me all the time, in fact, that night a group of no less than 20 people approached me, and my security did not hit any of them,” the singer concludes.
The player had his moment to give his version, and this is what he said. "This morning I saw the news. Something happened while I was walking with security to a restaurant. A person spoke to me, but the security didn't stop and that person grabbed me from behind. I didn't see who it was, and my security did it. aside".
Both versions have incorrect data. The player talks about how she “held him down,” and in the images, we see that she simply touched him, Britney accused her of having “fallen to the ground” after the hit, but we see that she remains standing, perhaps paralyzed by what happened. In fact, the singer's husband, Sam Asghari, scolded the bodyguard in question named Damian Smith, but we don't see more than that.
“I've been working in the industry for years and have been with some of the most famous people in the world. “NSYNC at one point were like The Beatles, girls threw themselves at them wherever we went, and not once in my life did I see a security guard punching another person,” the singer said in another of her posts.
The pop princess's anger consisted of something much deeper: the general mistreatment she has suffered over the past few years. “I have felt helpless in many situations, and my experience in Las Vegas and my subsequent reaction is a shout-out to all the mistreatment received. I had to say it! And no, I don't feel like I've been treated well in this country.”
Beyond this defense and her reaction in the video, where she insults the air after being hit, the singer said that in any case, she remains a “fan of the NBA player,” since “it is not her fault” that her safety has hit her. And you, after knowing both versions, whose side are you on?
The idealization of famous people leads us to believe that they are perfect, but they have their darkness just like everyone else. Like the case of David Beckham, who kisses his children on the mouth and justifies why, or Salma Hayek's reaction exposing her jealousy towards her husband.
