Las Vegas police say Britney Spears accidentally hit herself in the face as she was blocked by security while approaching a basketball star.
Victor Wembanyama’s guard, who the pop star alleged struck her during Wednesday’s encounter, will not face charges, police said in a statement.
Spears said she was “backhanded in the face” by the man, calling the incident a “traumatic experience”.
Video posted online appears to confirm a police report.
A copy of the police report summarising their investigation, obtained by the BBC, says: “Detectives and I were able to review surveillance footage of the event which showed Britney going to tap the Spurs player on the shoulder.
“When she touched the player [the security guard] pushes her hand off the player without looking which causes Britney’s hand to hit herself in the face.”
Las Vegas police also confirmed they had concluded their investigation into the alleged battery at the Aria hotel.
