Britney Spears blames vodka after lighting cigarette on flight
Britney Spears has apologized after reports that she lit a cigarette on a recent flight from from Cabo San Lucas to Los Angeles. Multiple sources confirmed to PEOPLE and TMZ that authorities were called after the 43-year-old pop star started smoking mid-flight last week. According to TMZ, Spears complied when flight attendants ordered her to put out her smoke, but the outlet reported that she was 'difficult.' When the plane landed, sources told TMZ the mother-of-two was met by authorities and warned about her behaviour, which is a violation of federal aviation regulations. 'This is not her first warning,' a source told PEOPLE exclusively. 'She doesn't exactly follow the rules.' Spears has since addressed the incident in a recent Instagram post calling the ordeal 'incredibly funny.' The Toxic singer blamed her puffs on the fact that she was drinking vodka. 'Confession it was my first time drinking VODKA!!! I swear I felt so SMART,' she told her more than 41.8 million followers. 'I was like wow what the heck is in there !!! I felt so clear and smart !!!' 'My friend put (a cigarette) in my mouth and lit it up for me so I was like OH SO THIS IS A PLANE WHERE YOU CAN SMOKE !!!' the Hold It Against Me hitmaker continued. Spears offered her apologies 'to anyone I offended,' but tried to downplay her actions by saying that 'the flight attendants always make sure I'm way at the back of the plane anyways.' She continued to write that when she met with authorities after the plane touched down, she thought they were there to greet her 'as support.' ' I was like WOW I feel special !!! I've never been to an international airport,' she wrote, adding a string of laugh-cry emojis. 'Am I famous or something???' Spears acknowledged that the flight attendant called officials because she smoked a cigarette, but said that the employee 'didn't like me the moment I got on the plane!!!' 'The flight attendant called officials because I smoked a cigarette !!! And embarrass me which jeez I thought was kinda much,' she wrote. 'Nobody was on the plane for first 20 minutes and she wouldn't let me get out of my seat I wanted to stand up !!! She acted so weird about making sure I sat down and it was weird !!! I didn't like the way she put the seatbelt on me and invaded my space!!!' Spears lived under a conservatorship overseen by her father for 13 years, which a judge ended in 2021. Since then, she has returned to the public eye, but her erratic behaviour has alarmed some of her closest friends. 'The judge went so Hollywood, ignoring all of the medical reports in front of her and just bent to the Free Britney people outside the courthouse,' one source told TMZ. After releasing her bestselling memoir The Woman in Me, Universal Pictures and producer Marc Platt announced they plan to turn Spears' life story into a musical biopic with Wicked director Jon M. Chu set to helm the project. Spears shared the news on X, where she tweeted that she was 'excited to share with my fans that I've been working on a secret project with #MarcPlatt. He's always made my favorite movies … stay tuned.' mdaniell@ Britney Spears shocks fans with revealing lingerie post on IG Britney Spears blasts trainer over 'younger body' jab Britney Spears tells fans to 'lighten up about the knives'
