Pop star Britney Spears had to be rescued by cops in the middle of one of L.A.’s busiest freeways after she ran out of gas. According to law enforcement, the police got a call around 10 p.m. on Tuesday after there was a report of a white Mercedes blocking the third lane southbound on the freeway.
The newly married star, 40, was sitting in the back seat of a passerby’s car when the officers arrived. She informed the officers that she ran out of gas and her car stopped in the middle of the freeway. As the California Highway Patrol worked to stop traffic, an officer steered Britney‘s Mercedes to the side of the road.
The officers reportedly waited with Britney – who was grateful for the assistance until her husband Sam Asghari arrived to pick her up.
This is not the first time.
In 2006, she in her car, “suddenly seized and ground to a halt in the middle of speeding traffic,” on the Pacific Coast Highway near her Malibu home. She was with her older brother, Bryan Spears, behind the wheel of a Ferrari belonging to her then-husband, Kevin Federline.
And the paparazzi who was following her helped, pushing the vehicle to the highway’s shoulder.
Britney has been making headlines, recently having written an open letter on social media for documentaries that were made about her conservatorship. She was the subject of multiple docs, including Hulu’s Framing Britney Spears and Netflix’s Britney vs. Spears.
Britney took to her Instagram account to call out the filmmakers for exploiting her and said that other celebrities would never have this happen to them.
Britney blasted in her post: “I feel like America has done a wonderful job at humiliating me. I’ve never felt more bullied in my life in this country it’s insane… and come on seriously is it honestly legal to do that many documentaries about someone without their blessing at all??!”
“Seriously though, think about it… I’ve never seen that many documentaries done on a person”
“Not one person on the face of this earth would people – a network, TV production or anyone for that matter – dig up that much negative footage and do hour specials claiming it’s ‘HELPING ME.’ REALLY???”
“It was the most insulting thing I ever saw in my life.”
