Britney Sparks Alarm Aboard Jet
Britney Spears was reportedly confronted by authorities after lighting a cigarette and behaving erratically during a private flight from Cabo San Lucas to Los Angeles. Flight staff described the pop starโs behavior as โdifficult,โ raising concerns as she sipped alcoholic drinks midair.
Multiple sources told TMZ that Spears, 43, was warned after lighting the cigarette, which she eventually extinguished. Though smoking isnโt always illegal on private jets, it depends on the aircraft ownerโs policies.
Authorities Intervene At LAX
Upon landing, authorities reportedly met the singer at the tarmac. While police didnโt detain her, she was given a verbal warning and released. According to TMZ, it was a customs official, not LAX police, who intervened. LAX declined to comment and directed media inquiries to JSX, the private plane company.
A representative for JSX issued a brief statement: โWe have no comment regarding the alleged events described by TMZ.โ
No Comment From Britneyโs Team
Britneyโs reps have not responded to requests for comment regarding the in-flight confrontation. The incident adds to a string of recent public spectacles involving the star, who has remained in the headlines since the termination of her conservatorship.
In recent days, Spears has been posting from a beachside resort in Mexico, dancing in scenic hotel rooms and posing topless on the sand. Her Instagram has been flooded with clips showing her enjoying single life.
A Turbulent Love Life
The latest drama follows her split from Paul Richard Soliz, her on-again, off-again boyfriend. The two broke up last month, and sources close to Spears told Page Six they were relieved the rocky relationship had ended.
Solizโs exit came not long after Spears finalized her divorce from ex-husband Sam Asghari, whom she married shortly after being released from her 13-year conservatorship.
Whatโs Next For Britney Spears?
While Britneyโs fans continue to support her freedom and expression, concerns linger over her behavior. The pop star appears determined to embrace her autonomy, but incidents like this keep her in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.
Whether her latest brush with in-flight rules prompts a public response or apology remains to be seen. For now, Britney Spears is making headlines โ again โ for more turbulence than takeoff.
