Britney Spears broke her silence yesterday after the alleged slapping incident that happened in Las Vegas, but newly-obtained photos show the musician's reaction after the altercation.
According to Page Six, the "Gimme More" songstress was said to be in disbelief and went straight to the bathroom after she was slapped by Damian Smith, San Antonio Spurs's director of team security.
However, in new photos that made rounds online, Spears' reaction was completely different as she appeared to be calm and even smiling while dining at a restaurant called Catch at the Aria Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
At the time, she was with her husband Sam Asghari, and her manager Cade Hudson.
The singer can be seen wearing a green dress, black leggings, a pair of boots, and sunglasses. In several snaps, it appeared that she was laughing at one point.
As of this writing, the "Til The World Ends" hitmaker has yet to address the newly-released photos.
