[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Britney of all people should know better. Would her security people have tolerated a random trying to touch her?[/quote]

This right here!  Really stupid of her to “tap” him anywhere at all. From behind. [/quote]

I tapped Brad Pitt on the shoulder once. He was filming The Devils Own on my block. My small walk up building he was in lobby by door taking a break but blocking door. I guess quiet in my building.

I tapped him on shoulder, he turned around and I just said sorry just trying to get out of building. He said no problem.

I did say excuse me first he did not hear.

I was in my suit headed to work at 8:30 am. I don’t recall Brad Pitt assaulting me.  Heck Harrison Ford my friend later that week saw him at am ATM drop something and tapped him on shoulder. He was a bit startled but my friend was trying to get attention he dropped something.

I mean I am in a dark alley at 2 am is one thing. But literally thousands of time folks have tapped me on my shoulder. Like a crowded bar.

He won’t last long as he is a 19 year old jerk. This would make a great SNL skit.

Pat Riley of the Lakers once tapped me on shoulder at a Planet Hollywood opening party. He was on way VIP section and I was in his way. Should I have slapped him?  [/quote]

But he wasn't in a quiet building lobby, he was moving through a crowd in Vegas, completely different. Not that I'm excusing what the bodyguard allegedly did, but moving the #1 NBA draft pick through a Vegas crowd is a different vibe from running into a celebrity one-on-one. [/quote]

There are two problems. One is the overreaction by the Spurs security chief. The fact that he was so quick to hit a woman - any woman - is appalling. Lots of people are going to want to tap Wemby for an autograph or a picture. As they did with LeBron and every other #1 pick. It's normal. Celebrity culture. This was a terrible lack of judgment. I'd guess the Spurs security guy is no stranger to hitting women. People that get into that field often do so not because they like protecting people, but because they like hitting people.

Secondly, Wemby's statement was terrible. He laughed it off. Just wanted a nice meal. Ha Ha.

He certainly doesn't understand that Britney Spears is a far bigger celebrity than he is. And there are millions that are emotionally invested in her well-being. He is in for a world of hate. He's 19 and had been told to just keep walking. He did nothing wrong. But that public statement was profoundly stupid and tone deaf. His agent and PR people are deeply incompetent. He's the biggest thing since LeBron and to have things start like this is a disaster. Hitting Britney makes you the villain. And to not realize that... the arrogance is breathtaking. [/quote]
