Britney Spears Admits to Lighting Cigarette on Flight but Says Notifying Authorities 'Was Kinda Much'

Britney Spears admitted to lighting a cigarette during a flight in a May 23 Instagram post. She also said notifying authorities 'was kinda much,' and said the flight marked her 'first time' ever drinking vodka.

The star went on to apologize and state that in her opinion, contacting the authorities was “kinda much.” She also made several allegations about one flight attendant in particular, describing her as “weird” and claiming she “invaded” the singer's personal space. Spears was traveling with her security from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, to Los Angeles on the headline-making May 22 flight, where — as she stated in her Instagram post — she was drinking and lit a cigarette. Authorities were then contacted mid-flight and when the plane landed, Spears was met by officials, who issued a warning about her conduct on the flight before she was allowed to leave.
