Britney Spears Dismisses Headlines About Highway Incident

Britney Spears has dismissed headlines about her concerning behaviour on a highway. 

In a video recently shared online, Britney appeared to stand through the moonroof of a car that was driving on a Los Angeles highway. At one point in the video, Britney arched her back and sprawled atop the car (as per Page Six). 

The pop legend reportedly spent a couple of minutes standing through the car's moonroof before the car exited the highway and pulled into a nearby gas station. 

“Britney just went through the sunroof for a quick moment,” a source insisted to the Daily Mail. “She wanted to see what the traffic was about up ahead because the cars came to a stop.”

Over the weekend, Britney shared a screenshot of the incident on social media, accompanied by a caption explaining, from her perspective, what she was doing. 

“What people see is two seconds of insanity of me arching me to the lords !!!!! yet the days and hours of my reality !!!!!! Nothing is what it seems,” she wrote on Instagram. “Psss I think I need to come out of the roof quite a bit more.”

It's not the only moment that has Britney fans concerned in recent months. 

Back in May, she was reportedly walking around with a knife during a night out at dinner, with her rep claiming the incident was “completely blown out of proportion.”

Britney's rep added, “This constant attack on everything that she does, and this is exactly what happened 20 years ago when the media tried to depict Britney as a bad person. This is ridiculous, and it needs to stop now.”

In milder Britney news, the upcoming biopic about the singer has found its writer.

As per Variety, Liz Meriwether, who created New Girl and co-created Dying for Sex, will pen the movie.

The Britney biopic is coming from Universal. It will be directed by Jon M. Chu (Wicked) and produced by Marc Platt.

The movie is based on Britney's memoir, The Woman in Me, released in late 2023. The memoir sold over 1 million copies in its first week, while the audiobook, read by Hollywood star Michelle Williams, became the fastest-selling in Simon & Schuster's history.

News first broke that Universal Pictures had landed the rights to the memoir in 2024, with Chu and Platt attached to develop the project.

Britney shared news of the “secret project” herself, writing on social media that Platt has “always made my favorite movies” and telling her fans to “stay tuned” for more news.
