Britney's latest spin in Sin City just got toxic.

TMZ reported on Thursday that the 41-year-old pop singer was allegedly "backhanded" by one of the newly drafted NBA star's security guards – who apparently didn't recognize her.

It all went down on Wednesday evening when Britney attempted to ask the 19-year-old rookie for a photo together at Catch restaurant in the ARIA Hotel by approaching the European bball player and tapping him on the shoulder.

According to the outlet, Damian Smith, the director of team security for the Spurs, responded by instantly backhanding her, which caused the Circus singer to fall to ground.

Per the outlet, Smith later went to Britney's table, where she was seated with her hubby Sam Asgahri, to apologize to the pop singer.

He apparently said to Britney, "You understand how it is when you’re being swarmed by fans."

Yet the outlet confirmed the singer and her team have proceeded to file battery charges against the guard.

It was also revealed that the incident will likely be treated as a criminal investigation, but criminal charges have not yet been filed.
