Britney Spears Sparks Concern After Smoking Incident on Private Jet
Britney Spears — who was just busted for smoking on a private jet — is careening toward tragedy, and insiders fear there’s no one who can save her, insiders tell GLOBE.
The “Toxic” singer, 43, sparked chaos on a May 22 flight from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, to Los Angeles when she violated FAA rules by lighting up a cigarette while drinking some cocktails.
Alarmed flight crew members forced her to extinguish the cigarette, but she was issued a warning by authorities when she landed at LAX.
“Her behavior is out of control, but no one can tell Britney what she can and can’t do,” says a source.

According to our source, the incident is yet more proof she’s in desperate need of help.
“Britney has been on this self-destructive path for a long while, but now it’s getting seriously scary,” a source says.
Instead of taking time to heal after dumping her ex-con boyfriend of two years, Paul Soliz, 38, in February, “she’s drinking far too much, chain smoking, staying up all night and hemorrhaging cash by chartering private jets and bringing a slew of hangers-on along for the ride,” explains our insider.
“What’s even sadder is that she’s being exploited by a lot of her hired help, freeloaders who hop onto her private jet for fancy vacations to Mexico or other far-flung places she’s paying for.”
As readers know, Britney remains estranged from her father, Jamie, as well as her mother, Lynne, and sister, Jamie Lynn, even after the Circus singer finally got the 13-year conservatorship controlled by her dad dissolved in 2021.
She still talks to big brother Bryan, 48, but sources say she’s often out of touch with him, too.
“Britney’s family can’t get through to her anymore, and she’s not taking calls from any of the sensible folk who care about her,” warns the source.
“Her only pleasure seems to be spinning around in front of the mirror posting those ridiculous selfies,” adds the source. “The feeling in Britney’s world is that it can’t go on like this. She’s on a one-way fast track to ruin.”
