Britney Spears sparks 'mental health crisis' concerns at Chateau Marmont in LA as barefoot star is pictured wrapped in blanket and attended to by emergency services
In the early hours of Thursday morning, Britney Spears raised concerns about a 'mental health crisis' at the Chateau Marmont. Shocking photos depicted the barefoot star, wrapped in a blanket, being escorted to emergency services.
Similar to her 2008 struggles, Spears, 42, who has recently exhibited troubling behavior and is described as 'completely dysfunctional,' was spotted in her underwear, holding a pillow, and looking distressed as she left the hotel.
She appeared topless, disheveled, and clutching the pillow, surrounded by her security team and her ex, Paul Richard Soliz. Reports suggest they had a heated argument, and a woman matching Britney's description was allegedly 'harassing and threatening hotel employees and guests.'
A man was seen moving a stretcher with the star's belongings, alongside a fire truck at the Hollywood hotel.
Spears also shared a worrying Instagram message, claiming that the photos were of 'body doubles' and asserting that she was 'getting stronger every day.'
She wrote, 'Most of the pics are body doubles and I think most know that!!! I would like respect at this time for people to understand I am getting stronger every day!!! Truth sucks so can someone teach me how to lie??? 'Goddesses out there, I’m reaching my higher power and furthermore, I hope you guys are too!!! I need a new toothbrush right now!!! PS … I need an espresso. !!! PSS … Not sure why I feel the need to share this … I guess I’m just a girl and I’m on my period so I’m bitchy … s**t!!!'
Brian Humphrey, an LAFD spokesman, said that emergency services received a call at 12.42 am regarding an adult female injury.
He added, 'At 1 am, an ambulance arrived on the premises. I can confirm no-one was transported. Services left the scene at 1.17 am. The police department were not called.'
According to TMZ, Spears arrived at the hotel late Wednesday night, with police responding to a 'disturbance' involving a woman similar to the singer allegedly 'harassing and threatening hotel employees and guests.'
However, officers found no signs of trouble and departed. The pair returned to their room around 11 pm, where they reportedly engaged in revelry. An altercation ensued, possibly resulting in Spears injuring her leg.
Reports indicate she was 'screaming and out of control' in the suite's hallway, prompting a call for paramedics due to concerns of a mental breakdown.
Spears did not use an ambulance and departed with her security, leaving Soliz behind.
Earlier this year in February, Spears debunked rumors of dating Paul in an Instagram video, emphasizing her satisfaction with being single.
In September last year, an insider stated that Britney and Paul were not dating, although they had a brief romantic involvement. Paul has a history of felonies, including possessing a firearm in December 2022 during his employment with Britney. He also faced legal issues related to probation violations in September 2023.
In 2007, Britney famously shaved her head after leaving rehab. She was placed under a conservatorship in 2008 following challenges related to her custody arrangement and mental health.
While under conservatorship, Britney continued her career but faced restrictions on personal matters. She expressed grievances about forced medication and control over her life.
Reports emerged in 2019 about her being held against her will, leading to the #FreeBritney movement. The conservatorship ended in November 2021.
Recent events include settling her divorce from Sam Asghari, as well as expressing frustration towards her family and financial concerns. Insiders suggest she may be struggling with mental health and financial stability post-conservatorship.
