Britney Spears isn't giving up on getting a public apology after allegedly being slapped by NBA star Victor Wembanyama's bodyguard.
The Toxic singer, 41, posted a video on Instagram talking about her run-in with the basketball player's bodyguard in Vegas last week. "I wanna share with you guys an incident that happened in Vegas that a lot of people are talking about," she began the video.
With her hands on her hips, wearing a mini skirt, beige boots, and a cropped floral blouse, Britney said: "I heard on the news this radio station talking smack and talking s**t that's why I'm addressing it."
She claimed that the radio presenters were "saying that I deserved to be smacked, security was doing their job and protecting their client".

This isn't the first time Britney has aired her views on Instagram and asked for an apology. "I have yet to get a public apology from the player, his security, or their organisation," she wrote in her first statement after the incident.
In her most recent video, Britney recalled when she was on tour with NSYNC in the early 2000s and was "knocked down by like three 12-year-olds trying to get my picture."
She emphasised: "My security not one time touched them or even came near them."

"When she touched the player, [Wembanyama's bodyguard] pushes her hand off the player without looking which caused Britney's hand to hit herself in the face," the report stated. She also supposedly "yelled in a British accent" during the confrontation.
According to the pop star, the report is inaccurate. In her latest video, she says: "I simply tapped him on the back and I was backhanded, hit my face, came back on the floor."
Britney tried to press charges against the bodyguard, but the Las Vegas Police Department concluded: "Due to the fact that [Wembanyama's bodyguard] did not willfully or unlawfully use any force or violence upon Britney and probable cause did not exist, an arrest was not made and citation was not given."
Wembanyama has said that he didn't think the incident was a "big deal" and didn't recognize the pop diva. However, Britney stands firm that she was 'traumatised' by the incident.
"I did get an apology at my table 30 minutes later but I've yet to receive a public apology," she said. No word yet on whether or not she'll get what she's asking for.
