Britney Spears Spotted Smiling At Cops After Chaotic Mexico-Los Angeles Flight
Upon landing in Los Angeles, Britney was reportedly issued a warning by authorities about her conduct.
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 — 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.
