Britney Spears has spoken out about her reaction to an incident in which she was slapped by a member of NBA player Victor Wembanyama’s security team. In a post on Instagram, Spears said that her reaction was a “cry out on all levels” and that she felt “helpless” in the situation.

The incident occurred on July 4th, when Spears was trying to take a photo with Wembanyama. According to Spears, she was pushed away by a member of Wembanyama’s security team, and then slapped in the face. Spears said that she reacted by yelling “f— you all” and that she was “shaking” after the incident.

In her Instagram post, Spears said that she understands why people might think her reaction was “bad,” but that she was simply “reacting to being treated like an animal.” She said that she has “felt helpless in most situations” and that the incident was a “cry out on all levels.”

Beginning her caption by reflecting on her decades of work in Hollywood, Spears wrote in part that she’s been “in the industry for years” and has been around “some of the most famous people in the world.” She names the ’90s boy band ‘N Sync as an example, adding that “at one point they were like The Beatles.”

“Girls would throw themselves at them everywhere we went … not one time in my life has a security guard ever hit another person !!!,” she said.

“I’m not sharing this to be a victim,” she continued. “I SIMPLY GET IT HONESTLY … my reaction was priceless … BAD ??? YES.”

The pop star then recalled some of her past experiences in the industry which made her feel “helpless.”

“I’ve had documentaries done about me and none of which I approved … I have felt helpless in most situations and my experience in Vegas and my reaction was a cry out on all levels … I will say it !!!,” she said.

Spears said she has not always felt that she’s “been treated as an equal person in this country,” adding, “of course when I watched the video myself … the people who actually swarmed around me when they heard me get hit made me feel like I mattered !!!”

“I wasn’t aware of that at the time,” she explained. “All people could hear was me saying f— you all … which was WAY BETTER THAN HITTING HIM BACK!!!” she wrote.
