The rep says the knife was just her hamburger
Britney Spears’ representative has pushed back hard after TMZ alleged the 44-year-old singer acted “erratically” during dinner at Blue Dog Tavern in Sherman Oaks on May 13. The rep told PEOPLE Spears was having a quiet meal, cutting her hamburger in half, and telling a story about her dog barking at neighbors—while dismissing claims she endangered anyone with a knife as blown out of proportion. The backlash arrives days after Spears posted an Instagram “spiritual journey” photo involving a baby snake.
