Brittany Spears is pointing the finger at anyone but herself after she lit up on a private plane to have a mid-flight smoke. On Friday, she wrote on Instagram that she’s sorry to those she “offended” but told her fans that she’s not the one responsible. “My friend put it in my mouth and lit it up for me so I was like OH SO THIS IS A PLANE WHERE YOU CAN SMOKE !!!” the popstar posted on Instagram along with a video of herself in the jet. She also blamed the “weird” flight attendant for snitching on her, saying that the attendant called officials to “embarrass me which jeez I thought was kinda much but she didn’t like me the moment I got on plane !!!” Spears, 43, started puffing after indulging in a few alcoholic drinks on a flight from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico to Los Angeles, where “confession it was my first time drinking VODKA!!!” She called the smoking controversy “actually incredibly funny,” saying she has been on planes where smoking is prohibited but thought this one was different. When the flight attendant called authorities to greet her as she exited the plane, she thought they were meeting her as “support.” “Am I famous or something ???” she wrote.
