Britney Spears was spotted out and about in Los Angeles while holding a champagne flute after raising concerns over her recent erratic behavior.
The âToxicâ singer was seen holding the beverage after exiting Stonehaus wine bar in Westlake Village, Calif., Tuesday, according to photos obtained by Page Six.
Spearsâ team insisted to the Daily Mail that the pop star was not drinking any alcohol during the rare outing.
Spearsâ rep didnât immediately respond to Page Sixâs request for comment, and the restaurant could not be reached. However, the singer blasted the photos in an Instagram video shared on Thursday.
She called the paparazzi âincredibly mean,â saying they always take âthe worst photosâ of her, and she âcanât go anywhereâ without being harassed. âItâs so offensive,â she added.
The images of the âCrossroadsâ actress showed her leaving the establishment and heading to her car while accompanied by one of the wine barâs staffers.
Spears, 34, attempted to stay under the radar by wearing sunglasses and a white lace scarf over her head.
She completed the look with a brown plaid blazer layered over a cropped lace shirt and low-rise blue jeans. Spears also accessorized with brown heels and a taupe handbag.
As for her glam, Spears wore bright red lipstick and styled her hair in messy waves around her face.
The âGimme Moreâ singerâs wine bar jaunt comes amid rising concerns for Spearsâ well-being.
Last month, Spears made headlines when she was spotted driving erratically after a night out with friends. She was seen swerving into other lanes after leaving the Red-O restaurant in Thousand Oaks, Calif.
A source told the Daily Mail at the time that her ex-husband Kevin Federlineâs new bombshell memoir, âYou Thought You Knew,â had put Spears âin a tailspin.â
âSheâs spiraling. Itâs reopening old wounds,â the source claimed.
Spears defended herself in a bizarre social media post, claiming, âIf anyone is wondering the lookalike was not meâŚđ¤ˇââď¸đ¤ˇââď¸đ¤ˇââď¸đ¤.â
A source told the outlet that Spearsâ loved ones are very concerned over her âterrifyingâ behavior.
âThereâs a lot of talk about what to do, if anything. How can we protect her from herself,â the source said.
Federlineâs tell-all â which accused her of cheating on him and doing cocaine while breastfeeding their sons â was released on Oct. 21. The exes, who were married from 2004 to 2007, share sons Sean Preston, 20, and Jayden James, 19.
Spears denied Federlineâs claims and called out his words for being âextremely hurtfulâ and âexhausting.â She also accused him of âconstant gaslighting.â
âThose white lies in that book, they are going straight to the bank and I am the only one who genuinely gets hurt here,â she wrote on X.
Federline claimed in an interview last week that he just wants the best for the mother of his children and that his kids are trying to repair their relationship with Spears.
âThey absolutely love their mom, right? I mean, they always, always have, always will,â he said. âItâs instilled in them. And Iâve always wanted for them to have a connection with their mom, the way I have with my mom.â
Federline gained custody over their two children following Spearsâ mid-2000s meltdown, which then led to her being put under a restrictive conservatorship. The legal arrangement ended after 13 years in 2021.
