Spears returned to her table at that time, TMZ reported. The security, realizing his mistake, approached her to apologize, saying, “You understand how it is when you’re being swarmed by fans.” According to the outlet, the Princess of Pop accepted the apology but her own security detail spent some time talking to the Spurs’ guards before the two decided to go their separate ways.

In the wake of the incident, Spears has allegedly filed a police report for battery with the LA authorities but it is not being treated as a criminal matter. However, TMZ mentioned that it is a criminal investigation and the police are making the incident “as serious as a heart attack.” It is also reported sources close to the outlet reviewed security camera footage and alleged that while Smith pushed Britney’s hand away, it was apparently her hand, not Smith’s, that struck her face. The authorities did not address the velocity of the force of the swing.

However, police determined that the attack was not intentional and Smith was trying to protect Wembanyama, rather than hurt the iconic singer. Notably, no one got injured in the incident.
