Fresh off a stint in rehab, Britney Spears is making headlines again. Over the past several days, a rumor has been circulating about an incident at a restaurant: the singer allegedly threw a fit, brandished a knife, and even barked like a dog.
According to patrons of the Blue Dog Tavern, where she was on May 13, her behavior was described as troubling. The next day, TMZ reported, citing sources, that Spears was at the restaurant with two companions the night before when she allegedly began shouting and barking. A restaurant patron also told the outlet they saw her walking around with a knife in hand.
On May 13, entertainment journalist Jeff Sneider posted on X that he had dined near the singer, describing the scene as “incredible.”
In a post shared on the platform, he added: “When she left, the whole restaurant started talking about it. An incredible dining experience. One patron even feared for her life. This is not a joke…”
Is this story true or largely exaggerated? Britney Spears’s representative responded to the allegations to offer the singer’s side of the story.
Britney’s Representative Speaks Out
Britney Spears’s representative responded to the rumors surrounding the singer. In a statement provided to PEOPLE magazine on Thursday, May 14, he reportedly asserted that the circulating accounts of this alleged incident were “absurd.”
“Britney was dining quietly with her assistant and her bodyguard,” the representative continued. “She was simply recounting that her dog was barking at the neighbors. At no point did she threaten anyone with a knife. She was slicing her hamburger in half. These endless attacks on everything she does are exactly the same as twenty years ago, when the media tried to paint her as a bad person. This is absurd, and it has to stop.”
A Turbulent Period
It’s worth noting that Britney Spears was arrested in March after being stopped for driving near her California home. She spent the night in custody before being released the next morning. That incident reportedly marked a turning point, with the singer subsequently choosing to enter rehab of her own accord to address her challenges.
Having just completed a treatment stint related to substance issues, she was later charged with driving under the influence.
Since then, the singer appears to be doing better, focusing on her recovery.
“She’s healthy, happy, and very positive. She says she’s ready to turn the page and start anew. This rehab helped her refocus on herself and regain a sense of balance,” a source told Page Six.
In the end, this tumultuous period seems to mark a transitional phase in the singer’s life as she strives to rebuild and move forward with greater calm.
