Britney Spears has raised alarm among her loved ones by reportedly cutting off communication, prompting concerns about her well-being. Following an incident where she was seen leaving the Stonehaus wine bar in Westlake Village, California, holding a champagne flute, family members expressed their frustration over her silence. According to a source speaking to the Daily Mail, “She isn’t returning texts, won’t pick up calls, and won’t even read DMs.” The insider emphasized their concern, stating, “We just want to make sure she’s OK, that life is good, that she’s taking care of herself.”
The situation escalated as another family source described Spears’ behavior as “disturbing” and noted that it has raised “a lot of red flags right now.” Family members are reportedly at a loss as to how to address the situation. A third insider defended Spears, asserting that she is “in no rush to get back to family who have been trying to contact her.” They indicated that the family might wait a few days before attempting to reach out again, particularly with Spears’ birthday approaching on December 2.
On November 28, 2023, Spears was photographed departing the Stonehaus, a popular wine bar, with a glass in hand, leading to speculation about her alcohol consumption. However, her team has clarified that she was not drinking alcohol at the time. Despite the absence of direct comments from either Spears or the restaurant, she took to Instagram to denounce the paparazzi, calling their actions “incredibly mean.” She stated, “It’s so offensive,” expressing her frustration at being constantly harassed.
Concern from her family is not new. Last month, a video surfaced showing Spears driving after a night out, which drew additional scrutiny. This came during a period where her second ex-husband, Kevin Federline, was promoting his memoir that included allegations against her. Sources indicated that the release of “You Thought You Knew” had a troubling impact on Spears, reopening old wounds despite her denial of the claims made against her. A family insider described her current state as “spiraling,” suggesting that her mental health is a significant concern.
Spears also addressed the video incident, claiming the individual in the footage was a “lookalike.” A manager from the restaurant where she dined that evening supported her claim, stating that she had not been drinking. The family’s worries continue to deepen, with one source noting, “There’s a lot of talk about what to do, if anything. How can we protect her from herself?”
The relationship between Spears and her family has been strained since her conservatorship, which was overseen by her father, Jamie Spears, was terminated in 2021. Despite the end of the conservatorship, reconciliation remains elusive, as Spears continues to navigate her personal and professional life independently. As her family seeks to support her, the dynamics of their interactions remain complex and fraught with emotional challenges.
