The full statement from Spears’ representative is as follows: ‘This is completely disproportionate. Britney was enjoying a quiet dinner with her assistant and bodyguard. He was just telling about how his dog was barking at the neighbors.

‘He never put anyone in danger with a knife. He was cutting his burger in half.

‘It’s this constant attack on everything she does, and it’s exactly the same thing that happened 20 years ago when the media tried to portray Britney as a bad person. This is ridiculous and needs to be stopped now.’

This comes after Spears missed a rare family gathering on Saturday celebrating her sister Jamie Lynn’s daughter Maddie graduating from high school.

The singer pleaded guilty to drunken driving last week, just two months after his arrest.

Just days before the indictment, he checked out of a substance abuse rehab center after a three-week stay.

The antics didn’t end there: earlier this year, she was spotted staggering out of a bar clutching a champagne flute, while her Instagram feed was flooded with topless photos.

Amid all the drama, the pop star was noticeably absent from her niece’s graduation; Exclusive Daily Mail photos show the rest of the Spears clan making it a family affair, with son Preston, sister Jamie Lynn, mother Lynne and father Jamie taking center stage.

Spears’ family members were reportedly among the first people to contact her following her DUI arrest in March.

Family sources said Spears’ mother, Lynne, called her as soon as she learned of the arrest, at which point the singer had already been released from custody.

Sources said Spears also spoke with her sons Sean Preston and 19-year-old Jayden, who moved to Hawaii with ex-husband Kevin Federline in 2023 after returning home.

It was claimed that Lynne wanted to let the singer know that she had her support.

The two were said to be on good terms despite their infamous ups and downs in the four years since Spears’ conservatorship ended.

Jayden and Sean Preston allegedly moved away from Spears in 2022 and moved to Hawaii with their father the following year.

However, Spears has reportedly made peace with her sons.

Last year, Federline published the memoir So You Think You Know. He described how his sons developed a strained relationship with their mother after she allegedly ’emotionally traumatized’ them.

On February 12, he was photographed driving around Los Angeles while appearing to be talking on the phone, which is illegal under California’s ‘No Touching’ law.

No criminal complaint was filed against him regarding the incident.

However, this was not an isolated incident for Spears, who was filmed in recent months. getting into the wrong lane on the highway after a night out.

At the time, sources feared Federline would “spiral” amid the release of his memoirs.

Spears also has a history of knife-related drama: In 2023, police reportedly visited her home after a video of her brandishing knives emerged, but no charges were filed.

The pop star has faced some very public personal struggles for almost two decades.

The star suffered a harrowing breakdown in 2007 after displaying worrying behavior in the months leading up to his infamous psychiatric treatment.

Spears reconciled with Jayden in 2024 and has since posted about their reunion multiple times over the past year. In September, a source revealed that Britney and eldest son Sean Preston were also ‘slowly rebuilding’ their relationship. Above, in 2013

The then-25-year-old artist shaved his head before applying to a rehabilitation center and worried his fans when he attacked a paparazzi’s car with a green umbrella.

Following her disastrous performance at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards, the Toxic singer suffered another setback after her Gimme More performance was heavily criticized by fans and critics alike.

Later, in January 2008, she was placed in isolation at a facility for refusing to surrender her young son to Federline.

More recently, Spears has been open about her issues with her family, claiming in early February that she was “scared” of them and was “lucky to be alive” in an explosive post on social media.

The hitmaker claimed his relatives would ‘never take responsibility’ while criticizing him for ‘isolating’ him.

“I’m incredibly lucky to even experience how my parents treated me once in my life and now I’m scared of them,” the singer wrote in a lengthy caption.

‘They will never take responsibility for their actions,’ he wrote, adding: ‘As humans we can forgive, but you never forget.’

Spears had a contentious relationship with family members for years after her 13-year conservatorship ended in November 2021.

The pop star and her father have been at odds ever since they finally settled their long-running legal battle over the notorious conservatorship, which has controlled nearly every aspect of her life for more than a decade.

Spears’ conservatorship officially ended in 2021 following fan backlash and the explosive #FreeBritney movement.

She had previously described her father as ‘controlling’ and insisted that she still had trouble trusting him.
