Britney Spears says she was 'drunk' as she explains worrying restaurant meltdown

Britney Spears says she was "a little drunk" after a reported "meltdown" at a Los Angeles restaurant.

The 41-year-old singer concerned fans after she was spotted "speaking gibberish" and acting "manic" in a video taken while she had dinner with her husband Sam Asghari on Friday.

Britney has now taken to Instagram to address the incident, describing it as "horrific".

Alongside a cute illustration, she wrote: "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."

She added: "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."

Britney finished her post writing: "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."

Britney turned comments off on the post.

The pop icon was reportedly seen "talking gibberish" at LA restaurant JOEY, with her actor husband allegedly "storming out" on her.

Footage from the night saw Britney hiding her face with a menu when she realised she was being filmed by fellow diners as she sat alone at a table.

She also appeared to be talking to herself in the clip before leaving with her bodyguard.

However, a waiter from the restaurant insisted Britney did not have a "manic episode" and had become "frustrated over a patron who began randomly filming her".

The staff member, who served Sam and Britney, spoke to Twitter account Free Britney Live and said: "Britney was the sweetest person despite the uncomfortable situation she was put in by the other patron filming her."

He added: "Sam did not storm off. He went to the restroom."
