Britney Spears has publicly apologized for an incident she was involved in months ago, while new rumors surface of her reported walk-out from a popular stage show this week.
Britney has posted an apology on her Web site for lashing out at a photographer’s car with an umbrella in February, writing that she was preparing to try out for a movie part at the time, and got carried away.
The incident took place shortly before she checked into rehab, during the same period in which she shaved her head, got new tattoos and was frequently seen on the club circuit in Los Angeles.
On Wednesday, she posted the following statement on BritneySpears.com:
“I apologize to the pap for a stunt that was done 4 months ago regarding an umbrella. I was preparing my character for a role in a movie where the husband never plays his part so they switch places accidentally. I take all my roles very seriously and got a little carried away. Unfortunately I didn’t get the part.”
On Thursday, Britney reportedly walked out in the middle of a performance of the stage musical “Wicked” at the Pantages Theater in Hollywood.
Britney was in the audience watching the critically acclaimed hit show, which chronicles the backstory of the witches of Oz — originally made famous in L. Frank Baum’s books and the classic film, “The Wizard of Oz.”
Spears reportedly got up and exited the theater during the first act, but the reason for her departure is not known.
Despite a report that she set the theater “abuzz,” a rep for “Wicked” told AccessHollywood.com that Britney left quietly (and without incident) last night around 9:00 PM. She did not disrupt the show, and there were no known complaints from anyone in the audience.
“We do know that she likes the show,” said the rep. “She’s seen it a number of times.”
