Britney Spears Denies Knife Claims: 'Ridiculous Attack'
14 May
Summary
- Spears' representative called restaurant reports 'ridiculous' and an 'attack'.
- The singer was reportedly cutting her hamburger, not wielding a knife.
- Spears recently accepted a plea deal for a 'wet reckless' charge.
Pop star Britney Spears has publicly dismissed recent reports of alleged concerning behavior at a restaurant, characterizing them as a baseless "attack" on her character.
Her spokesperson issued a statement on May 14, 2026, denying any wrongdoing and stating that Spears was simply having a quiet dinner. The representative clarified that Spears was cutting her hamburger in half and that any suggestion of her putting anyone in danger with a knife was "ridiculous."
These statements come after social media posts claimed Spears exhibited "insane" behavior at a restaurant, with one witness fearing for their life. TMZ also reported that Spears had allegedly been "screaming" and "barking," with one witness claiming she passed their table holding a knife.
This situation follows Spears' March 2026 arrest for suspicion of DUI in Ventura County, California, after which she entered a treatment facility. She had previously accepted a plea deal for a "wet reckless" charge, a less severe offense than a DUI, and was sentenced to probation.
