Britney Spears’ team has hit back after the singer allegedly created a disturbance at a Los Angeles restaurant on Wednesday evening, with multiple patrons claiming the 44-year-old pop star behaved erratically throughout her visit.<\/p>\n

According to witnesses who spoke to TMZ, the singer was seated in a corner booth at Blue Dog Tavern in Sherman Oaks with two companions when she began raising her voice and making barking sounds.<\/p>\n

One diner claimed to the outlet that Ms Spears walked past their table whilst holding a knife, prompting fears she might accidentally injure someone nearby.<\/p>\n

The witness suggested the singer may have simply forgotten to put the utensil down after leaving her seat.<\/p>\n

However, a spokesperson for the Hit Me Baby One More Time singer has firmly rejected the accounts, telling TMZ: “This is completely blown out of proportion.<\/p>\n

“Britney was enjoying a quiet dinner with her assistant and bodyguard.<\/p>\n

“She was simply telling the story about how her dog was barking at the neighbours.”<\/p>\n

The representative insisted the singer had not endangered anyone with a blade, explaining she had merely been slicing her burger in half.<\/p>\n

“This constant attack on everything that she does and this is exactly what happened 20 years ago when the media tried to depict Britney as a bad person,” the statement continued.<\/p>\n

“This is ridiculous, and it needs to stop now.”<\/p>\n

Sources say staff at the venue were forced to intervene when Ms Spears lit a cigarette near the entrance, asking her male companion to have her extinguish it.<\/p>\n

They described the atmosphere as “chaotic” and “kind of sad,” though they noted the singer still appeared well-presented. <\/p>\n

The area beneath her table allegedly resembled the aftermath of a toddler’s meal, with a crumpled menu left behind.<\/p>\n

The sources said Ms Spears had ordered a burger and chips, but barely touched her food, mostly picking at the fries whilst leaving what appeared to be orange juice largely unfinished.<\/p>\n

Most patrons failed to recognise the pop star until after her security team escorted her home.<\/p>\n

The incident comes less than a fortnight after Ms Spears resolved her March drink-driving case<\/a> through a plea agreement, with prosecutors reducing the charge to “wet reckless.”<\/p>\n

Under the terms of her deal, the Toxic singer received 12 months’ probation and must complete a three-month alcohol education programme.<\/p>\n

She is also required to continue mental health and substance abuse treatment, attending sessions with a psychologist weekly and a psychiatrist twice monthly.<\/p>\n

Following her arrest on March 4, Ms Spears entered rehabilitation at Borden Cottage in Camden, Maine, where she received treatment for substance abuse and mental health issues.<\/p>\n

She has since spoken of being on a “spiritual journey”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Britney Spears’ team has hit back after the singer allegedly created a disturbance at a Los Angeles restaurant…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":484755,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[264],"tags":[435,18,117,19,17,337,5,63657],"class_list":{"0":"post-484754","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-celebrity","9":"tag-eire","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-ie","12":"tag-ireland","13":"tag-music","14":"tag-news","15":"tag-sgg"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116574444057200682","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/484754","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=484754"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/484754\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/484755"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=484754"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=484754"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=484754"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
