Britney Spears’ Reported ‘Manic’ Episode Stirs Headlines in Hollywood, But Husband Hits Back

Reports of an emotional meltdown by singing star Britney Spears might have had fans concerned for her well-being, but Spears’ husband has gone public with a far different account.

According to initial reporting by the 🌟Celebrity-centric news site TMZ, Spears was dining Friday with her husband, Sam Ashgari, at the JOEY restaurant in 🌴Los Angeles’ Woodland Hills when the incident took place.

Spears became “manic,” and was speaking “gibberish,” some patrons told 📺TMZ. The 📺TMZ account claimed Asghari left the restaurant in the midst of Spears’ behavior.

At one point, Spears covered her face with a black restaurant menu — apparently in reaction to a spectator’s phone camera.

Spears herself left the restaurant two minutes after her husband, with a bodyguard returning to pay the bill.

However, subsequent information casts doubt on initial reports of a “meltdown.”
