LAS VEGAS – El novato de los San Antonio Spurs, Victor Wembanyama, dijo el jueves que cree que Britney Spears lo agarró por detrás cuando entraba a un restaurante en un casino de Las Vegas, y que el equipo de seguridad con el que estaba empujó a la estrella del pop.Wembanyama dijo que no le dijeron que Spears fue la persona que lo agarró hasta horas después, y que en realidad nunca la vio.Spears, quien presentó un informe ante la policía de Las Vegas, indicó en publicaciones en Twitter e Instagram que el encuentro fue “súper vergonzoso” y negó haber agarrado a Wembanyama, diciendo que solo “le tocó el hombro para llamar su atención”.La cantante dijo que lo había reconocido más temprano en la noche, y al ver al número 1 del “draft” de la NBA de este año, un destacado francés de 7 pies y 3 pulgadas de altura que ingresa con tanto reconocimiento como el de LeBron James hace 20 años, ella “decidió acercarse a él y felicitarlo por su éxito”.Spear...

Why boost in Chesapeake Bay grasses is good news for crab lovers
