Gossip site TMZ reported that Spears and her husband, Sam Asghari, were eating dinner when the pop star apparently began acting strange and ‘talking gibberish’.

Reportedly, this led to Spears’ husband ‘storming out’, with the singer following shortly after.

In the post, she says: “I’ve been at my Aunt Suzy’s house, we made three pies to give at church service this Sunday!

“I’m sorry dear friend but if you ever got a taste of my pie… I could finally deliver it with my beautiful a**…
