Fears for Britney Spears' safety amid shocking new video: 'She's spiraling'
It appears Britney Spears is in trouble once again.
Swerving her car into the wrong lane of a highway after a night out, 43-year-old Spears is 'spiraling' out of control in sad echoes of her infamous 2007 breakdown, friends say.
In worrying footage and photos obtained by the Daily Mail, the interminably troubled pop star seemed unsteady at upscale Thousand Oaks eatery Red-O on Wednesday night.
Onlookers described how Spears' top slipped off her shoulders as she knocked over glasses and dropped items across the restaurant floor.
After reportedly ordering a quesadilla from the 'happy hour' menu, Spears — who was wearing flip-flops — then raised a glass in a bizarre toast to the entire restaurant, before appearing to stuggle with her footing as a female friend held her hand and guided her outside.
There, and despite protestations from several people, including her companion and restaurant staff, Spears got behind the wheel of her black BMW.
Federline, who was married to Spears from 2004 to 2007, this week claimed she 'punched' their son in the face. Spears denies all his claims
While he says the support for ending the arrangement no doubt 'started from a good place', he says it may have scared off professionals from helping Spears after seeing how those who controlled the conservatorship were treated.
'All those people who put so much effort into that,' he writes, 'should now put the same energy into the 'Save Britney' movement. Because this is no longer about freedom. It's about survival.'
Following the publication of his memoir, Spears has hit back at Federline.
'The constant gaslighting from ex-husband is extremely hurtful and exhausting,' she wrote on social media.
'I have always pleaded and screamed to have a life with my boys. Relationships with teenage boys is complex. I have felt demoralized by this situation and have always asked and almost begged for them to be a part of my life,' she added.
'Sadly, they have always witnessed the lack of respect shown by own [sic] father for me. They need to take responsibility for themselves. With one son only seeing me for 45 min in the past 5 years and the other with only 4 visits in the past 5 years.
'Trust me, those white lies in that book, they are going straight to the bank and I am the only one who genuinely gets hurt here.'
