Britney Spears reportedly caused a chaotic scene inside a Los Angeles-area restaurant after witnesses claimed the pop star screamed, barked, and behaved erratically.
TMZ reported that the pop star attended the Blue Dog Tavern in Sherman Oaks on Wednesday with a man and a woman, and began acting strangely. The outlet reported that shortly after she arrived, Spears sat at a corner table in the venue and began yelling, barking, and behaving loudly. One witness who heard the screams described the scene as “kind of sad,” according to TMZ.
A patron in the restaurant claimed they feared Spears might accidentally stab someone when she walked past their table holding a knife. The witness said they believed the famous singer may have simply forgotten to put the knife down before getting up, according to TMZ.
TMZ reported that Spears had to be told to put out a cigarette after lighting it inside the restaurant, near the door.
Spears reportedly ordered a burger and fries, but aside from picking at the fries, didn’t consume much food. There was quite a bit of food left behind after she and the man took turns feeding one another, according to TMZ. The outlet reported that the pop princess said “I love you” to the man, but the context behind the exchange was not clear.
A guest at the restaurant said Spears left behind a big mess, noting that it looked “like a toddler had been there.”
Sources claimed Spears left with her security team. (RELATED: Pedro Pascal Locks Lips With Stephen Colbert On ‘The Late Show’)
