AceShowbiz - Pop superstar Britney Spears has once again been spotted behind the wheel, mere days following an incident at the Chateau Marmont that left her with a swollen right foot and raised concerns about her wellbeing amongst fans and the media alike.
Despite the injury, which Spears hinted might be more serious than it initially looked like, the "Toxic" singer was seen driving her white Mercedes-Benz in Thousand Oaks, CA, exuding a sense of normalcy and independence. Her rumored boyfriend Paul Richard Soliz was with her.
The sight of Spears driving comes as a significant symbol of freedom for the artist. For 13 years, under a conservatorship that restricted many aspects of her personal and professional life, Spears was not allowed to drive. Now, with the conservatorship ended, Spears taking to the streets in her vehicle is not just a simple act of commuting but rather a powerful statement of autonomy and resilience.
Spears' recent troubles began with a dramatic night at Los Angeles' iconic Chateau Marmont, which reportedly involved a heated dispute with Soliz. This altercation reportedly escalated to Spears causing a commotion within the hotel, leading to a disheveled exit that sparked concern and sympathy from the public and her fanbase alike.
Yet, in the days that followed, Spears appeared in high spirits and untroubled as she resumed driving. At one point, Paul took over the driver's seat while Britney rode shotgun. It remains unclear if Britney's driving is advisable given her foot injury, and fans have expressed concern.
This concern is not without a reason as Spears' own words on social media hinted at a possible surgery for her injured foot. "I'm going to treat myself this week!!!" she declared while also insisting, "No breakdown !!! I'm a grown a** woman who is actually very naive in most situations !!!"
