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.

What did you take for it?
I’ve been leaving Britney alone like forever!
It was not me that had the problem with the illness. I just had to deal with it until it got too bad.
The message that some parents send to their children is that their value is based upon what they accomplish, and is not intrinsic. To me Spears seems like someone whose total sense of self-worth is based upon her achievements, and that she does not have a well-developed sense of self and self-worth. That's a very fragile self-concept, and when her stardom started to wane her sense of who she is in the world may have become very unclear to her.
I assumed as much.
...Yet still has a net worth higher than 10 generations of my progeny will likely accumulate.
“For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?”
Me too. She was thrown in to a viper’s pit of perverts and pedos as a young girl by pimps.
“Some parents...”
“To me. Spears seems...”
“...her sense of who she is...”

So, you talked to her?
When was that?
Was there a transcript of your interview with her, and
can we read it?
The conservatorship was created at first to control the public relations disaster when her mental health issues first became public but continued in order to protect the income stream from her brand, particularly the revenue from her perfume business.
Jamie Spears did a remarkable job in keeping public relations under control for so long.
Her mental health issues are real and very serious.
Her perfumes have now all but disappeared from the stores.
Her conservators did not “contribute to her craziness”, a truly ignorant thing to say.
Her diagnosed illnesses are well understood, and her behavior is unremarkable and consistent with the diagnosis.
He truly loves her, probably more than anyone else on earth.
Jamie Spears gave her considerable freedom, much more than anyone else would have done, considering how much money was at stake. The failure of the Las Vegas Show ended any hope of rejuvenating her brand. When Free Britney reached critical mass on social media, it was over and the only question was how to manage the end.
Spears, himself made his biggest mistake in his relationship with her boys, particularly a dinner fight he had with Britney and the boys which ended with him following her son to his bedroom and pounding on his door and yelling, which later caused his father, Federline, to insist that he be out of their lives. This was the final break between him and Britney.
Sam Asghari tried to control things but it was just getting too bad.
I do not know what treatments she is on or whether she is tolerating her medications now. I do not know how often her episodes occur nor how they vary in severity as time goes by.
You misunderstood what I was trying to say, and thus I probably didn’t say it well.
First, I said ‘to me’ because I wanted to emphasize that it was just my opinion and that I don’t know the reality of her life. I do know, however, that many parents screw their children’s life up. Not doing that should be the number one emphasis of every parent - IMHO. No one is perfect, and there are no ‘perfect’ parents. That said, there most definitely are defective parents who hurt their children deeply - and it’s not just physical or sexual abuse that does this. Further, those parents tend to be so incredibly narcissistic that they never ever admit doing anything wrong, and blame their children for every problem they have in life. These are not loving or nurturing parents.
Again, I’m not saying Spear’s parents were like that. What I was saying is that when a child never gets feedback from their parents that they are loved and good just for being them, and to the contrary only get love and praise when they ‘achieve’ something, they too often equate their worth in life with their societal stature and achievement.
Maybe she has an organic / genetic mental health issue (bipolar, schizoaffective, or whatever the current DSM has listed these days), and this is the major cause of her behaviors and issues. I have seen a large number of people with mental health / psychiatric issues over the years, and I’ve seen people with schizophrenia who were convinced space ships were beaming thoughts into their brains then become rational / normal after receiving anti-psychotic medications. Organic / genetic / brain chemistry-based mental health issues are very real, very sad, and to me just as bad or worse than having a malignancy.
That said, not all mental health issues are organic / genetic, just like not all are caused by life experiences / exposures. Then there are the epigenetic contributors (e.g. changes in DNA methylation patterns and thus gene expression based upon life exposures) that link life exposures to mental - health related gene expression.
The bottom Iine is that mental health is very complex, perhaps more complex than any other area of human health, and can reflect both nature and nurture. Given that we can’t also change nature, it’s important that we address those issues that are defined by nurture.

Cannot find any facts to support any allegation of abuse.
The court did not necessarily find that he was a bad conservator, rather that the conservatorship had gone beyond the intent of the law.
He did well keeping things hidden from the public,
and keeping her from hurting her brand,
and especially protecting the fortune, from her and from boyfriends and other interlopers.
Most people including her replacement lawyer and the judge in her case, cite the surveillance system, especially a bug in her bedroom.
He never authorized that. Not that he ever cared to ask.
He hired an agency to monitor her and they did that.
The judge was frosted that her conversations with Sam in their bedroom were recorded.
Britney was so mad that she was on birth control against her will.
She has been furious with him that he tried to get her to show up at work and do what she promised to do, was hired to do.
When Sam tried to do the same she fell out with him too.
She does have serious psychological episodes, but she is also uncooperative, stubborn, selfish just like anybody else.
Jamie Spears conserved her fortune by protecting it from her.
That is not the purpose of the law.
If she wants to wreck everything, then she can.
We are watching her do it.
She has lost her “look”.
She has lost her dance.
She has lost the voice she once had, of course.
Some of her fragrances have a solid fan base for years to come.
What should we even expect?
Please correct me with my thanks.

Poor thing
I don’t wish mental illness on anyone
Man she is sure messed up
Lack of inhibitions
You’re right
