The scene was chaotic. Barefoot, wearing short shorts, draped with a blanket and clutching a pillow to her apparently topless chest, a disheveled Britney Spears walked out of the Chateau Marmont Hotel in LA in the early morning hours of May 2 with her security and her boyfriend, convicted felon Paul Richard Soliz, as first responders swarmed around them. An ambulance and fire trucks had been dispatched to the scene following a 911 call at 12:42 a.m., an LAFD spokesperson said, “with reports of an adult female injured,” though Britney was not taken to the hospital. (She later claimed in a rambling Instagram post that she’d twisted her ankle.)
But the incident was alarmingly reminiscent of her dark past. “She had a booze-fueled bust-up in a hotel room with Paul and refused treatment,” says a source, adding that a “crazed” Britney, who’s been boasting about drinking wine, hit “rock bottom” after a seven-day spiral that began on April 25 when the pair were caught behaving erratically in a series of dramatic photos. “It’s like 2008 all over again.”
