Britney Spears has spoken out after she was spotted having a ‘manic meltdown’ in a Los Angeles restaurant, and compared herself to Shrek in a strange social media post.
Addressing the episode for worried fans, the star posted a cartoon image of a little girl pouring syrup on pancakes alongside the suggestion she was ‘a little drunk’ when the moment was captured.
The singer, 41, was dining with her 28-year-old husband Sam Asghari when fans tried to snap photos with her and claimed she was ‘talking gibberish’.
Seen out for dinner at JOEY restaurant in Woodland Hills on Friday, it was reported by TMZ that the hitmaker’s husband stormed out of the establishment after the incident with supporters happened.
After the episode, Britney then uploaded a video to social media of herself flipping off the camera to the tune of Divinyls’ I Touch Myself.
She attempted to explain away the bizarre behaviour in her most recent Instagram post that was captioned: ‘I watched ‘NATURAL BORN KILLERS’ this morning and damn I got ENLIGHTENED … and HOLY SMOKES S**T BALLS.

‘I’m sure I brought a billion SMILES to me LOOKING LIKE SHREK at a restaurant. Even my best friend couldn’t WAIT TO SEND IT TO ME, THEY DON’T THINK TWICE because we are all natural born killers.’
The megastar then went on to suggest she was still being kept under surveillance: ‘I know the news is all hyped about me being a little drunk at a restaurant … it’s like they’ll be WATCHING MY EVERY MOVE !!!
‘I’m so flattered they talk about me like a maniac THEN have the balls to talk about all the negative things that happened in my past !!!
‘Honestly it would be safer for me to compliment this world and f**k up because if I become a prophet and don’t create history, we might have something y’all… I’m just KIDDING, but it’s a good thought.

‘I know y’all are rooting for me and all and make sure you check out the shocking Shrek picture of me.
‘I was like damn that’s horrific yet there were two pics where I was normal … either way honestly I know nobody gives a flying f**k what I do !!! I’m just bored writing this paragraph like a damn idiot [sic].’
The Circus singer was supposedly triggered by onlookers pulling out their phones to take pictures of her and attempted to hide her face behind a menu, according to the outlet.
Eyewitnesses at the venue suggested the award-winning artist grew more and more upset and started ‘yelling’ and speaking in gibberish, a reaction that apparently prompted her spouse’s walk-out.
Posting a cryptic message shortly after the incident, Sam appeared to rubbish the claims, writing: ‘Don’t believe what you read online people’ to his Instagram story.
