Elizabeth Wagmeister Chief Correspondent Britney Spears knows a thing or two about being bombarded by fans, but a fan-girl moment for the pop star herself went terribly wrong when she was allegedly smacked in the face after trying to snag a picture with NBA star Victor Wembanyama. Spears’ husband shared lengthy commentary about the altercation on Instagram stories. “I am opposed to violence in any form, especially without justification in the defense of yourself or someone else who is unable to defend themselves,” he wrote. “Self-defense can be unavoidable, but the defense of any woman, especially my wife, is not debatable. I consider my reaction subdued considering what occurred, and I hope the man in question learns a lesson and changes his disregard for women. Thank you for the support.”
