TMZ, citing sources with “direct knowledge,” claims that Spears, while traveling with her security team from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, to LAX, began drinking during the flight. At one point, the 43-year-old former teen idol reportedly lit a cigarette and started smoking on board.
The flight attendants quickly intervened, instructing Spears to extinguish the cigarette, which she complied with. According to TMZ’s sources, the “I’m a Slave 4 U” singer was described as “difficult” during the incident. Upon landing, authorities reportedly met her to issue a warning regarding her behavior.
Afterward, she was allowed to leave without further incident.
TMZ reached out to LAX police, who confirmed they did not respond to the incident. However, the outlet speculated that the warning may have come from someone within Customs.
Regarding JSX, the private jet service, a spokesperson informed TMZ that they had “no comment on the alleged events described.”
