Oops, she did it AGAIN.
A noticeably fuller-faced Britney Spears has sparked fresh concern after she was spotted carrying a full Champagne flute out of a wine bar in the Los Angeles suburbs on Tuesday — before appearing to climb behind the wheel of her car and drive off.
The pop star’s team insisted to the Daily Mail that she was not drinking alcohol during the outing.
But in worrying footage and photos, 43-year-old Spears looks disheveled, her hair wild, and her face concerningly puffy — all sign, insiders say, that she is simply not taking care of herself.
A family source told Daily Mail: ‘This is very distressing. It’s really a nightmare knowing that things are happening that might put her in danger. There’s absolutely nothing we can do to help her.’

At one point she draped a lace scarf over her head
As a bubbly Spears left Stonehaus wine bar in Westlake Village, California, she was accompanied to her car by a member of the venue’s staff.
Onlookers say the man helped pack all her belongings into the passenger seat. Moments later, Spears sped off in her black BMW.
What makes the scene even more alarming is how closely it mirrors an incident just three weeks ago — and only a few miles away — at upscale Mexican eatery Red-O in Thousand Oaks.
Then, exclusive Daily Mail video from the night showed Spears raising a glass in a bizarre toast to the entire restaurant before once again driving off alone, then dangerously swerving across lanes, wildly U-turning and veering into oncoming traffic.
Much like that wild episode, this latest wine-bar fiasco has left her family and friends deeply shaken.

‘Until something horrible happens, that might be the wakeup call. But nobody is doing anything to get her the help she needs; they are just letting her do her thing,’ a concerned second insider told the Daily Mail.
‘So everyone just currently deals with it. And that is a recipe for disaster. Nobody wants to take any responsibility and those that want to help are unable to gain access to her. A very alarming situation to say the least.’
It’s certainly notable that Spears appeared to be completely alone on Tuesday — no family, no friends, no support beside her.
‘After everything, she’s still naive. She is not acting in her best interest, and she is not surrounded by people who are serving her best interest either,’ the first family insider said. ‘I’m worried and I know the rest of the family is, too.’
She also hasn’t seen her sons Preston, 20, and Jayden, 19, much at all in recent years.
Their strained relationship was thrust back into the spotlight by Spears’s ex-husband Kevin Federline, in his bombshell new memoir, published just one day before her Thousand Oaks meltdown.
Federline’s book accuses Spears of a series of disturbing behaviors, including allegedly using cocaine before attempting to breastfeed their children — claims she has denied.
Onlookers say he packed all her belongings — including the champagne glass — into the passenger seat of her car before heading back inside empty-handed

Ever since her infamous conservatorship – controlled by her father Jamie Spears – ended in 2021, Spears’ behavior has grown increasingly erratic.
From topless photos shared to Instagram to unhinged dance videos and clips of her twirling knives, fans have watched on in horror.
There have even been recent whispers that her Thousand Oaks mansion is regularly covered in dog mess.
‘Her house is a mess. She doesn’t clean up after the dogs, she doesn’t have someone there cleaning every day, and she just isn’t functioning like an adult would function,’ an insider told the Daily Mail in September.
Now, our second source says: ‘Britney’s family has not wavered in their concern for her wellbeing. But they are forever stuck between a rock and a hard place.
‘They no longer have the conservatorship and, in the court of public opinion, they are not well liked either. It is hard to help when they can’t contact Britney or she doesn’t want the help.’
