  • Jamie Lynn Spears Involved In Restaurant Fight In Louisiana, Brandishes Bread Knife

    Britney Spears’ 23-year-old sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, made headlines over the holidays after being involved in an altercation at a restaurant called the Pita Pit in Louisiana. CCTV footage of the incident has surfaced that shows Spears breaking up the fight by grabbing a knife and brandishing it at the perpetrators. According to reports, Spears became involved after rescuing her friend who was hit by a bottle during the altercation. A representative for Spears did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

    TMZ released the CCTV footage of the incident which took place on December 28. Jack Brighenti, owner of The Pita Pit, sent an email to People regarding the incident. “I have been with The Pita Pit for several years, and have never seen anything like this before,” Brighenti said in the email. “A group of males got into an altercation and for some reason Jamie Lynn Spears ran behind the counter and picked up a bread knife. Our management called the police immediately and thankfully nothing else happened.”

    Police were called to the scene, but no one was arrested. Spears’ friend also didn’t want to press charges. Spears also remained silent on social media with regards to the incident.

    Jamie Lynn was a Nickelodeon star who appeared on the show Zoey 101 as the titular character. Spears married businessman Jamie Watson in March of last year. She has one daughter with Casey Aldridge, who she dated when she was just 16 years old. Her status as a teen mom drew controversy at the time.

    After her career with Nickelodeon, Spears decided to move to Nashville to work on her music c. On 2014, she released her debut country EP, The Journey. She is also featured on the Britney Spears song, “Chillin’ with You”, which was taken from Britney’s eighth studio album, Britney Jean.

  • Jamie Lynn Spears Risks Life in Restaurant Brawl, Wields Knife

    Jamie Lynn Spears, younger sister of singer Britney Spears, was simply out dining with a friend last month when she ended up stopping a brawl. The two were eating in Hammond, Louisiana at the Pita Pit when a fight broke out–right in the middle of the restaurant. Spears’ reaction was questionable at best, however.

    E! News reports that somehow Jamie Lynn’s friend found her way into the midst of the people having the fight. Spears “helped her friend from out of the middle of the violent group” before running behind the counter and helping herself to a large knife. She then wielded the knife at the people fighting in an effort to break them up.

    Okay. So maybe no one ever explained to Jamie Lynn Spears that calling 911 is a much safer option than going at a group of people who are brawling–with a knife?

    Several media outlets have now received footage of the night in question. It clearly depicts Jamie Lynn Spears holding what appears to be a very large knife.

    Jack J. Brighenti owns the Hammond Pita Pit location. He spoke with E! News about the incident, saying he was in complete shock.

    “I have been with Pita Pit for several years, and have never seen anything like this before,” he said at the time the brawl took place. “The events that happened occurred after 2 a.m. this past Saturday night just before we closed. A group of males got into an altercation and for some reason Jamie Lynn Spears ran behind the counter and picked up a bread knife.”

    “Our management called the police immediately and thankfully nothing else happened. Our passion and focus is and always will be to serve the Hammond community healthy pitas!” he added.

    Does Jamie Lynn Spears–who incidentally has yet to comment on the situation–have any idea what could have happened had someone taken that knife from her and used it as a weapon–either on the others involved in the fight or even on her? Does she realize she could have been killed? What on earth was she thinking?

    It will be interesting to learn what Jamie Lynn Spears was thinking when she wielded that knife. Now that word of the brawl has hit the media, will she try to explain the situation?
