Back in May, Britney Spears was confronted with the airport authorities after allegedly being intoxicated, smoking cigarettes and generally behaving troubled on a flight.
Now we have video of the incident.
And while some people may think it violates Brit, others will claim that it justifies her.
Britney ‘did not take his medicine,’ claims officer
In the clip obtained by TMZ, an officer arrives on stage shortly after the arrival of the aircraft.
A customs can be heard that tells the policeman that while Britney seems to be having a hard time, there is no immediate for the law to get involved.
“We get her all the time, today she obviously didn’t take her medicine. She’s very compatible; she’s very nice, so for me right now it’s all good,” he says.
Now, the authorities probably have no idea whether Britney took his medicine or not.
It’s probably just an insensitive joke about her previous mental health struggles.
But some people focus on this comment and take it as proof that Britney was a bit loopy during the flight.
Others point out that the officer described Britney as “Nice” and “Compatible.”
Whichever side you are on, it is clear that Britney created a mild disturbance on the plane, but all was well when she was back on the ground.
(And it’s worth noting that Britney says she was told that smoking was allowed on the flight and that’s why she turned on a cig.)
According to TMZ, Brit got “a string that talked to” from the officer, but it seems that there were no tough feelings.
In fact, the pop icon even waved to the customs agent as she passed him on the tarmac.
Some rare, positive (-ish) Britney coverage
The video marks a welcome tempo change from the kind of cover we have seen by Britney in recent months.
Most of the recent headlines are dealing with Spears “Spiraling out of control” or worrying fans with her latest Instagram video.
To be fair, some of these Instagram videos are pretty biting, and it’s natural to feel a little worried when Britney dances with knives.
But there is a difference between eccentricity and mental illness of the variety that requires an adult woman to be placed under a conservatory.
And the fact that Britney was able to smile and do well with the authorities in the airport video acts as proof that she belongs in the previous category.
