00:00 Now, Britney Spears and her husband, Sam Asghari,
00:02 have broken their silence surrounding the report
00:04 that a member of San Antonio Spurs player,
00:06 Victor Wemenyama's security team slapped Britney
00:10 when she approached him for a photo.
00:12 First, Sam shared, "I'm opposed to violence in any form,
00:15 "especially without justification
00:17 "in the defense of yourself or someone else
00:19 "who is unable to defend themselves.
00:21 "Self-defense can be unavoidable,
00:23 "but the defense of any woman,
00:24 "especially my wife, is not debatable."
00:26 He concluded, "I consider my reaction subdued
00:29 "considering what occurred,
00:30 "and I hope the man in question learns a lesson
00:33 "and changes his disregard for women."
00:35 Now, it's unclear how Sam reacted to his wife
00:38 being allegedly backhanded by a massive security guard,
00:41 but he was present for the altercation,
00:43 which took place at Ketch Restaurant
00:45 in the REO Hotel in Las Vegas.
00:47 Later, Britney took to Instagram to share a long statement
00:50 in which she demanded an apology
00:52 during what she called an embarrassing and traumatic ordeal.
00:55 The toxic singer wrote, "Traumatic experiences
00:58 "are not new to me, and I have had my fair share of them.
01:01 "I was not prepared for what happened to me last night.
01:04 "I recognized an athlete in my hotel and saw him again.
01:07 "I decided to approach him
01:08 "and congratulate him on his success.
01:11 "It was really loud, so I tapped him on the shoulder
01:13 "to get his attention."
01:15 Britney continued, "I am aware of the player's statement
01:17 "where he mentioned I grabbed him from behind,
01:19 "but I simply tapped him on the shoulder.
01:22 "His security then backhanded me in the face
01:24 "without looking back in front of a crowd,
01:26 "nearly knocking me down and causing my glasses off my face.
01:31 "I get swarmed all the time by people.
01:32 "In fact, that night I was swarmed
01:34 "by a group of at least 20 fans.
01:35 "My security team didn't hit any of them."
01:38 Britney continued, admitting that the story
01:40 is super embarrassing to share with the world.
01:42 She wrote, "I think it's important to share this story
01:44 "and to urge people in the public eye
01:46 "to set an example and treat all people with respect,"
01:49 before revealing that she's yet to receive an apology
01:52 from Victor, his security team, or his organization.
