Britney Spears seen driving with injured foot, reunites with criminal boyfriend Paul Soliz after hotel drama

Britney Spears was spotted driving around with her criminal boyfriend, Paul Soliz, on Monday after injuring herself during an incident at the Chateau Marmont last week.

Despite being left with a swollen and bruised foot, the “Toxic” singer was photographed behind the wheel of her white Mercedes-Benz while cruising around her Thousand Oaks, Calif., neighborhood.

At one point, she reunited with Soliz, who jumped in the driver’s seat while she rode shotgun.

Spears, who claimed she might need surgery for her injury, was all smiles for the outing as they briefly drove with the car windows down.

The sighting marked the couple’s first public hangout since they were involved in an incident at the luxe hotel in West Hollywood, Calif., last Thursday.

At the time, photographers captured the Princess of Pop, 42, and Soliz surrounded by first responders who responded to a call they received about an injured woman.

Insiders told Page Six that Spears and the former felon had gotten into a fight, resulting in the ambulance arriving.

Per TMZ, several hotel guests believed the Grammy winner was having a mental breakdown as they heard her screaming.

However, the “Gimme More” singer denied the reports on Instagram later that afternoon while showing off her bruised foot, insisting she hurt herself while attempting a “leap” in the hotel living room.

She also alleged her mother, Lynne Spears, played a part in the chaos, though she didn’t specify her role.

One day later, Lynne arrived in Los Angeles and told paparazzi she’d be there for her eldest daughter “no matter what.”

Britney’s relationship with Soliz has caused her loved ones to worry ever since she got together with the handyman following her split from ex-husband Sam Asghari last summer.

“He’s been bad news from the start,” one friend told Page Six last week, calling Soliz – who has been charged with multiple misdemeanors and at least one felony – “extremely dangerous.”
