AceShowbiz - Britney Spears claims a radio station said she "deserved" to be hit after her clash with Victor Wembanyama's security guard. The "Toxic" singer was seen on video being hit by the minder and filed a battery report after the incident at Catch restaurant in Las Vegas on 5 July, but cops later said no criminal charges were being pressed against Victor's guard.

In an Instagram video shared on Tuesday, July 11, the 41-year-old claimed an unnamed radio station had been "talking s**t" about her over the incident. She added that it had said she "deserved to be smacked" and dismissed the assault as security "doing their job and protecting their client."

"I've been with the most famous people in the world. NSYNC at one time, girls would, like, literally throw themselves at them," she argued. "On my way into the place, I was knocked down by, like, three 12-year-olds trying to get my picture. My security, not one time, touched them or even came near them."

Britney emphasized that she "didn't appreciate" people saying she deserved to be hit because no woman ever deserves it. The Grammy winner, however, did not name the radio station or the hosts who allegedly made the comments.

The singer said she received an apology half an hour after the incident at Catch. Still, she has "yet to receive a public apology" from the NBA star or the security guard in question, Damian Smith.

Britney was seen in mobile phone footage released by TMZ saying "excuse me, sir" moments before Damian whipped back his arm onto her face, knocking off her sunglasses - causing Britney's entourage to gasp in shock. The singer's husband Sam Asghari, 29, witnessed the incident and is seen in the video rushing towards Smith - while Britney bizarrely shouts in an English accent after composing herself, "That's America for you! F**k you all!"

Britney and her entourage then continue walking into Catch. Images also obtained by TMZ then showed her sitting calmly at her table and smiling.
