The pictures showed her blonde locks blowing in the wind as she let the sun kiss her skin. An insider said it was just \u201cgood, clean fun\u201d for a Louisiana girl, <a href=\"https:\/\/perezhilton.com\/britney-spears-defends-herself-after-hanging-out-of-sunroof-on-la-freeway-instagram\/\">she herself even said it was NBD<\/a> \u2014 but Brit is in California with lots of eyes on her! So that made things more complicated.<\/p>\n<p>So much so that the police reportedly contacted her with a warning. According to <em>Naughty But Nice<\/em> on <strong>Substack<\/strong>, an insider told <strong>Rob Shuter<\/strong> on Sunday:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThis wasn\u2019t just a courtesy call. Given Britney\u2019s recent legal issues, authorities felt they had to reach out. They wanted to send a very clear message that behavior like this is dangerous and can\u2019t happen again.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>As you know, the <em>Toxic<\/em> singer was recently in <a href=\"https:\/\/perezhilton.com\/britney-spears-voluntarily-enters-rehab-dui-case\/\">trouble with the law for a DUI<\/a>. And even though her case was resolved with a \u201cwet reckless\u201d plea, the cops are still concerned. But a pal is coming to her defense!<\/p>\n<p>Another source said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cBritney believed traffic had slowed to a crawl. She wasn\u2019t trying to be reckless or make headlines. She simply didn\u2019t stop to think about how risky it looked \u2014 or how quickly something could have gone wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/perezhilton.com\/britney-spears-sons-not-considering-becoming-conservators-amid-legal-trouble\/\">Related: Are Britney\u2019s Sons Considering Becoming Her Conservators?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Britney even came to her own defense,\u00a0 blasting the outrage on her IG, saying it\u2019s coming from \u201ctwo seconds of insanity\u201d:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cNothing is what it seems.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>A separate source said her inner circle is still \u201crooting for\u201d her:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cNo one wants to see history repeat itself. The hope is that this serves as a wake-up call before a harmless-looking stunt turns into something no one can undo.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Understandable. We all just want the best for Britney and for her to be safe!<\/p>\n<p>This whole ordeal has caused such an uproar, though, her controversial ex manager <strong>Sam Lutfi<\/strong> is weighing in on it. And he told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.com\/tvshowbiz\/article-15972379\/britney-spears-sam-lutfi-manager-car-roof-stunt.html\"><em>DailyMail.com<\/em><\/a> it\u2019s a bunch of BS and that no one should be so up in arms about it. He said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s a human being before she\u2019s a celebrity. People are very quick to judge, especially when it\u2019s Britney.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Sam also said \u201csocial media isn\u2019t someone\u2019s medical chart\u201d and he\u2019s not going \u201cto diagnose [or] criticize\u201d Britney for what she did. Despite the<em> Oops\u2026 I Did It Again!<\/em> singer having such a complicated history with him, getting restraining orders against him in 2008 and 2019, he\u2019s coming up to bat for her:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s already spent her life under a microscope, so why don\u2019t we show her the same grace we\u2019d want for ourselves, period? I wish her nothing but the best.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>An anonymous insider also told the outlet the sunroof incident wasn\u2019t an issue because she \u201cwanted to see what the traffic was about up ahead because the cars came to a stop\u201d:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cShe used to do this all the time as a kid growing up in the South, she loves having the warm wind blow through her hair in the summer, it\u2019s fun. She is having a fun summer and is happy, she is in a good place. If it\u2019s illegal to put your head through a sunroof, she doesn\u2019t know it! She didn\u2019t mean to do anything bad.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>What do U think about all this, Perezcious readers?
