Britney Spears ‘was not intoxicated’ before erratic driving video: restaurant manager
Britney Spears wasn’t drunk during her headline-making night out last Wednesday, according to a restaurant manager who waited on her.
The pop star and a female friend dined at Red O in Westlake, Calif., before she was filmed driving erratically on her way home, sparking serious concern.
Spears reportedly exhibited strange behavior at the eatery, like knocking over glasses and giving a bizarre toast before getting behind the wheel. But a restaurant manager who attended to Spears and her friend said that’s not the behavior he personally witnessed.
“She was super chill and really nice,” Oliver Wynn, a general manager at the Westlake, Calif., location of the chain of upscale Mexican restaurants, told Us Weekly. “She just kind of hung out, grabbed a bite to eat and left.”
Wynn said Spears was “not intoxicated” and didn’t order any alcohol with her quesadilla, though a fan did buy her a glass of wine.
“Britney was just chatting with her friend and fans the whole time,” he said of their visit, which lasted less than an hour. “They were very chatty.”
The “Toxic” singer was kind to fans and took pictures and videos with them, according to Wynn.
“I was impressed at how nice she actually was,” he shared. “I worked at other restaurants frequented by a lot of celebrities, and I’ve never really seen a celebrity be as nice as Britney was.”
A rep for Spears didn’t immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
Spears appeared to address the footage of her dangerous driving on Instagram on Saturday, writing, ““If anyone is wondering the lookalike was not me…🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤓.”
She didn’t specifically reference the video in her post, which featured a graphic of Minnie Mouse and Daisy Duck hugging.
The Grammy-winning singer’s family is extremely scared for her after the incident, the Daily Mail reported, and is in crisis talks over how best to help her.
“There’s a lot of concern. Everyone has always wanted the best for her, and she’s showing right now that she’s making bad choices,” a source told the outlet.
“It’s terrifying,” the source continued. “So there’s a lot of talk about what to do, if anything. How can we protect her from herself.”
Spears has been in the headlines due to her ex-husband Kevin Federline’s memoir, “You Thought You Knew,” which aired out serious accusations against the pop star.
She’s hit back at his claims, and a spokesperson for her previously told Page Six Federline is “profiting off her” after her child support to their two sons — Sean Preston, 20, and Jayden James, 19 — ended.
