One source told reporters the atmosphere inside the restaurant became tense as diners slowly realised the disturbance was allegedly coming from the Grammy-winning singer herself. <\/p>\n<p>\nWitnesses also claimed Britney shared food with a man accompanying her and was overheard telling him: \u201cI love you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nAnother diner reportedly described the scene beneath Britney\u2019s table as looking \u201clike a toddler had been there\u201d, while others said untouched food and drinks remained scattered around the table by the end of the evening. <\/p>\n<p>\nAccording to sources, Britney ordered a burger and fries but mainly ate the fries, leaving several items \u2013 including what appeared to be orange juice \u2013 untouched.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe incident comes amid another turbulent period in Britney\u2019s public life, with reports claiming she recently completed a three-week stay at a substance abuse rehabilitation facility before pleading guilty to a DUI-related offence connected to an arrest earlier this year. <\/p>\n<p>\nBritney has also remained a constant subject of online discussion in recent months due to topless Instagram posts, videos of her dancing at home and ongoing speculation surrounding her relationship with family members following the end of the conservatorship that controlled much of her life for 13 years.<\/p>\n<p>\nBritney was also reportedly absent from a recent family gathering celebrating the high school graduation of her niece Maddie Aldridge, 16, the daughter of Jamie Lynn Spears. <\/p>\n<p>\nPhotographs published by the Daily Mail showed Britney\u2019s mother Lynne Spears, father Jamie Spears, sister Jamie Lynn and son Sean Preston Federline attending the celebration alongside other relatives.<\/p>\n<p>\nFamily sources previously told outlets Lynne contacted Britney after her March arrest to offer support. <\/p>\n<p>\nSources also claimed Britney spoke with her sons Sean Preston and Jayden Federline after returning home.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe pair moved to Hawaii in 2023 with their father Kevin Federline following a period of estrangement from Britney.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/britney-spears-knife-wielding-meltdown-restaurant-barking-like-dog-1444437.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>14 May 2026 Britney Spears is said to have had a knife-wielding meltdown at a restaurant while barking like a dog.
