His appearance came the same night Spears was reportedly involved in an incident during dinner at Blue Dog Tavern in Sherman Oaks. TMZ reported that Spears appeared “erratic” and was raising her voice during the meal. One diner claimed she walked by holding a knife.
Spears’ representative denied the claims in a statement to Entertainment Weekly, saying the reports were “completely blown out of proportion.”
“Britney was enjoying a quiet dinner with her assistant and bodyguard,” the rep said. “At no point did she put anyone in danger with a knife. She was cutting her hamburger in half.”
The representative also criticized ongoing media attention surrounding Spears, comparing it to the intense scrutiny she faced earlier in her career.
The dinner outing came weeks after Spears resolved a DUI-related case stemming from a March arrest. She pleaded guilty on May 4 to reckless driving involving alcohol or drugs and avoided jail time. As part of the plea deal, Spears was ordered to pay a $571 fine, complete 12 months of probation, and attend a three-month substance abuse program.
