Britney Spears Spotted Smiling At Cops After Chaotic Mexico-Los Angeles Flight
Back in May, pop icon Britney Spears landed in trouble after she tried to light a cigarette while she was on a private flight from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, to Los Angeles. Now, new footage from that day has surfaced in the media, which shows the 42-year-old singer having a brief interaction with the airport officials after her outburst during the flight.
The body cam footage obtained by TMZ featured a conversation between an airport cop and a US Customs and Border Protection officer after Britney's plane landed. The latter informed the cop that the singer was compliant. He said, 'We get her all the time. Today, she obviously didn't take her meds. She's being very compliant; she's very nice, so to me right now, it's all good."
Following their conversation, the pop icon was spotted walking past them. Dressed in an oversized shirt and a red hat, she waved at them and walked out calmly with two others. She looked far more composed in the clip than in other pictures, which were taken mid-air.
This is Disgusting saying 'she obviously didn't take her meds" but following it up with she is being very compliant and very nice … shows that since Britney was in an unjust chips there is an automatic stigma that she either needs meds/something is wrong with her #BritneySpears pic.twitter.com/xFChQi1Jzd — A Britney Nerd 🤓 (@luckySGM) July 11, 2025
Previously, some sources who were present during the flight told the aforementioned outlet that Britney started drinking at first. Later, she lit a cigarette inside the aircraft, which is a serious violation of flight safety regulations. The flight attendants were alarmed by her behaviour and urged her to extinguish the cigarette immediately, which the singer immediately agreed with. Still, some insiders who were present during her 'outburst" mid-air claimed that she was being 'difficult."
The incident did not go unnoticed, and neither was she spared for this one-off instance. When the plane landed at the Los Angeles airport, Britney was taken by the authorities, where she was reportedly issued a warning regarding her conduct.
Following the incident, Britney shared a post on her Instagram account, revealing her side of the story. Calling the whole debacle 'incredibly funny," she mentioned, 'I swear I felt so SMART!!! I was like Wow, what the heck is in there!!! I felt so clear and smart!!! And said I want a cigarette so bad!!! My friend put it in my mouth and lit it up for me, so I was like OH SO THIS IS A PLANE WHERE YOU CAN SMOKE!!!"

Further, in her note, Britney also shared that the flight attendants weren't too fond of her. She added, 'The flight attendant called officials because I smoked a cigarette !!! And embarrass me, which jeez I thought was kinda much, but she didn't like me the moment I got on the plane!!!" Through her post, she apologised to anyone she offended during the flight.

Brooke Hogan threatens legal action for spreading 'lies' in her name amid family drama following Hulk Hogan's passing
Hulk Hogan and Brooke Hogan. Image via: John Parra/ Getty Images Brooke Hogan is no longer staying quiet. In the weeks following her father Hulk Hogan 's death, the singer and reality TV alum has found herself at the center of a growing storm of rumors, misinformation, and deep-seated family tension. Now, she's had enough, and she's warning those responsible to lawyer up if the lies continue. Brooke Hogan breaks silence, calls out 'unbelievable' stories from Hulk Hogan's inner circle Brooke Hogan. Image via: Mike Coppola/ Getty Images/CMT In a raw and emotional interview on TMZ Live, Brooke Hogan unloaded her side of the story, pushing back against what she described as a campaign of false narratives spread by people from her late father's camp. She issued a bold warning saying that if they keep spinning lies about her, they should prepare to hire a lawyer as well. She sends the message to those she believes are tarnishing her name for personal gain. Brooke says she's been dealing with 'laughable' and increasingly cruel stories about her. She claims that she ghosted Hulk Hogan in Jacksonville, returned unopened gifts, and deliberately skipped his funeral. But according to her, these narratives are being pushed by people who once depended on Hulk for a paycheck and now fear what she knows. The lies, she told TMZ, 'have gotten so unbelievable it's laughable,' and it's making her mad. Brooke explained that her absence at Hulk Hogan's funeral wasn't a snub, but a decision rooted in love. 'My father hated the morbidity of funerals. He didn't want one,' she shared in a heartfelt Instagram post. Instead, she honored him in a quiet and personal way by taking her newborn twins to the beach, one of her dad's favorite places. Still, the emotional weight of the past few weeks has taken a toll. Brooke admitted that she hasn't eaten or slept in weeks, calling herself 'a nervous wreck' because she has to constantly respond to false stories. Despite removing herself from the will in hopes of avoiding a family inheritance battle, Brooke says the drama found her anyway. 'I just said, 'Take me off everything. I don't want to be a part of it.'' But as she put it bluntly, the 'sh*tshow' came knocking regardless. Brooke Hogan pushes back on toxic family patterns, calls for peace, but warns she's 'not the one to come after' Hulk Hogan and Brooke Hogan. Image via: Getty Images For Brooke, this moment is about more than inheritance or public image is about healing and walking away from a toxic cycle. Her decision to step back from both her father and mother, Linda Hogan, was driven by personal reasons. 'I longed for a normal family, but it never came to fruition,' she wrote on Instagram. She also expressed concerns about Hulk Hogan's final marriage to Sky Daily and her ties to Scientology. Brooke said she warned her father, citing advice from Scientology critic, Mike Rinder, but felt dismissed. 'He literally said to me… 'I guess you have to live your life and I have to live mine.'' The last time they spoke was before his wedding in September 2023, when Hulk left a 'very weird, cryptic' voicemail apologizing for something Brooke never quite understood. "'Hey, I just wanted to call and say I'm sorry for whatever I did.'" It was, heartbreakingly, the final message from her father. Now, as she mourns in her own way and raises her twins with husband Steve Oleksy, Brooke wants one thing: peace. But she won't let falsehoods go unchecked. 'Leave me and my father alone and let that poor man go to heaven. But if it continues… I'm not the one to come after,' Brooke asserted.
