The internet is buzzing about an "unrecognizable" Britney Spears, who was photographed on the street with a glass in her hand.
Britney Spears visited Stonehouse Winery & Bar in Los Angeles. The 43-year-old pop star was captured by paparazzi in the restaurant's parking lot. Online commentators are speculating that she appeared "overweight" and was holding a glass of champagne, amid recent drunk driving allegations.
Spears wore a brown jacket with a white blouse, blue jeans, and heels, complete with sunglasses. The singer left the restaurant accompanied by an employee, who helped her carry her things to her car. Afterward, Spears handed him her drink and drove home in her Mercedes.
Britney's photos have sparked heated debate online. Some users have defended the singer and asked journalists to leave her alone, while others believe the star needs help. "That's the face of a drunk," "She can afford a driver. She needs to stop driving drunk before she kills someone," "Leave her alone," and "Her moon face could be due to excessive steroid use," users write.
Britney has already commented on the photos in question on her social media. She called the paparazzi "incredibly mean" and claimed they constantly take "the worst photos of her." She added that she "can't go anywhere" without being harassed and called the situation "very offensive."
Last month, Britney Spears was seen outside a Los Angeles restaurant in an "unsettled" state. According to media reports, the star drove drunk and nearly hit a friend. Both Spears and a restaurant employee denied she was intoxicated. The incident and the singer's unstable condition were linked to the release of a book by her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, in which he revealed numerous unflattering details about their marriage. These included allegations that Spears once used cocaine before breastfeeding her son, bathed with an 11-year-old child, and stood outside a child's room with a knife.
As a reminder, Britney Spears has been married three times. Her first marriage, to childhood friend Jason Alexander, lasted 55 hours, and in 2004, five months after they met, she married dancer Kevin Federline. They had two sons, Jayden and Sean, who remained with their father after the couple's divorce in 2007 by court order. Meanwhile, in 2008, Britney was admitted to a psychiatric hospital after a nervous breakdown in which she shaved her head in front of paparazzi. The star was then placed under her father's conservatorship, from which she was only released in 2021. Britney's third husband was Sam Asghari. They were together for several years and married for two. The singer most recently dated a housekeeper with a criminal record, Paul Richard Soliz.
