Pop star Britney Spears was potentially injured after a blowout fight with her boyfriend, Paul Richard Soliz.
The news comes only hours after the 42-year-old pop star finalized her divorce from actor Sam Asghari. The two have submitted the paperwork to end the relationship and now all that remains is for a judge to sign off on the divorce in order to make it official.
That has not stopped the pop star from moving on, however, as it’s been reported that she’s been casually dating her former housekeeper, Paul Richard Soliz, for months now. Although it has not been confirmed, it has been rumored that Soliz was released from employment due to his criminal history.
An Ambulance Was Called For Britney Spears Following A Fight At A Hotel
At this time, it is unclear if Britney Spears was injured in a fight that she had with her boyfriend, Paul Richard Soliz, or if the two are even still together. On Wednesday night, the Princess of Pop reportedly got into a huge argument with her boyfriend and was almost driven away in an ambulance.
The “Oops!... I Did It Again” singer was staying with Paul Richard Soliz at the Chateau Marmont. Late Wednesday night, a guest called the police to report a disturbance, saying that a woman matching Britney’s description was threatening hotel employees and guests.
Guests Feared That She Was Having A Mental Breakdown
At around 10:30 PM, officers arrived on the scene but saw no signs of trouble and left. Sources told TMZ that, after officers arrived, Britney and Paul went to their hotel room, where they were allegedly partying and drinking. It is unclear what happened in the hotel room, but sources says that things got “physical” and Britney apparently hurt her leg.
Insiders revealed that Britney was screaming and “out of control” in the hallway of her suite. Several guests who witnessed the commotion called the paramedics, fearing that she was having a mental breakdown. Sources revealed that the call was for an “injured person,” but the extent of Britney’s potential injuries is not clear at this time.
Paramedics arrived at the scene shortly before 1 AM and found Britney walking out of the hotel with a blanket wrapped around her. She was always carrying a pillow and had clearly been crying. Although she did not get in the ambulance, she did leave with security. Paul did not leave with her.
#UPDATE: Britney Spears Says The Ambulance Was There To Treat Her Ankle
A few hours after the story broke, Britney took to Instagram to share her perspective. "Just to let people know ... the news is fake !!! I would like respect at this time for people to understand I am getting stronger everyday !!!"
"Truth sucks so can someone teach me how to lie ??? Goddesses out there, I'm reaching my higher power and furthermore, I hope you guys are too !!! I need a new toothbrush right now PS ...I need an espresso !!" she continued.
"PSS ...Not sure why I feel the need to share this ... guess I'm just a girl and I'm on my period [...] I also twisted my ankle last night and paramedics showed up at my door illegally. They never came in my room but I felt completly harassed. I'm moving to Boston !!! Peace."
Britney Spears Finalized Her Divorce From Sam Asghari
It is possible that Britney was at the hotel to celebrate the end of her 14-month marriage to Sam Asghari. The former couple met on the set of her “Slumber Party” music video in 2016 and tied the knot in June 2022, only a few months after her controversial 13-year conservatorship was struck down by a judge in November 2021.
In August 2023, Sam filed for divorce citing “irreconcilable differences” as a reason for the split. "The divorce was amicable and the prenup was not challenged," a source told People magazine. "Britney is continuing to flex her freedom and is moving on."
The insider also confirmed that Britney was not on his lease or paying his rent. "The report that she is in financial distress is false and she is not on any lease for him," the source continued.
Sam Asghari Says It Was A ‘Blessing’ To Be With Britney
Following the end of their six-year relationship, the “Special Ops: Lioness” actor told People magazine that it was a “blessing” to have been with the pop star.
“It was a blessing to be able to share life with someone for a long time. And people grow apart and people move on,” the actor said. “I've always hated people leaving a certain relationship — and at some point, they told each other they love each other and they sat at the same table and ate food [together] — so I never understood when people part ways [and] they talk badly about each other.”
“That's something I'm never going to do because I had nothing but an amazing experience and a great life, and that's always going to be part of my life, a chapter of my life,” he continued.
For her part, in April, Britney reflected on her relationship in a candid Instagram post and admitted that she had made “mistakes” during their relationship.
