Britney Spears injured her ankle while doing cartwheels outside her room at LA’s famed Chateau Marmont hotel DailyMail.com can reveal.
It came after a night of heavy drinking as Britney, 42, and her ‘felon boyfriend’ Paul Soliz celebrated the finalization of her divorce from third husband Sam Asghari.
The one-time pop princess and Soliz, 37, had retreated to the room after being refused further service at the hotel bar, sources inside the hotel say.
‘When I saw her at the bar, at first I didn’t even realize it was her as she looked so disheveled,’ one insider said.
‘She was with a guy and their security team and the guy ordered drinks but was refused service because of the state they were in.
It was originally claimed that Spears had suffered the injury after an alleged altercation with her felon ‘ex’ Paul Soliz (seen left) at the hotel in LA

Britney Spears claims she was ‘set up’ by her mother Lynne Spears when paramedics escorted her out of the Chateau Marmont — sparking concern that the singer is suffering a ‘mental health crisis’
‘They stormed off and were being really loud and causing a ruckus.
‘One thing was certain – they certainly didn’t need any more alcohol.’
Bleary-eyed Spears was pictured at the hotel early on Thursday morning, wearing only her underwear and clutching a pillow in scenes reminiscent of her 2008 meltdown when she attacked a car with an umbrella.
The source said the pair made their way to the room and about 30 minutes after they left the bar complaints started rolling in from fellow guests about the noise they were making.
‘Britney and her friend were in the hallway outside their room being loud and arguing. Britney was also doing cartwheels up and down the hallway and then started screaming that she had hurt herself.’
Britney posted pictures of her swollen ankle. She said she had hurt it ‘trying to do a leap’ in the room.
It was originally claimed that Spears had suffered the injury after an altercation with Solis.
Spears and Soliz have been an item since 2022 when he was hired to do maintenance work around her house. She was married to Asghari at the time.
Terms to end that marriage were finally decided on Friday last week with Britney not having to dip into her $60 million fortune due to a prenuptial agreement.
She and the 30-year-old Iranian-born Asghari will not officially be divorced or seven months.
Britney and Soliz were celebrating the end of that marriage at the famed Chateau – where comedian John Belushi died of a drug overdose in 1982.
Soliz has a long history of run-ins with the law including charges for disturbing the peace, child endangerment and possession of a firearm.
Britney also claimed she was ‘set up’ by her mother Lynne Spears when paramedics escorted her out of the Chateau Marmont in the early hours of Thursday morning — sparking concern that the singer is suffering a ‘mental health crisis.’
Happier times: Britney is no longer close to her mother Lynne and told fans ‘I know my mom was involved !!! I haven’t talked to her in 6 months and she called right after it happened before the news being out !!!’
Britney closed out her post by gushing over her longtime attorney, Mathew Rosengart, who she said is ‘like a father’ to her. She also included a photo of Rosengart

She sounded tearful as she narrated two Instagram videos that showed off her ‘twisted’ right ankle that looked painful and swollen.
Like her initial statement on the matter, she claimed that paramedics came to her hotel room ‘illegally’ and ’caused a huge scene which was so unnecessary and all I needed was ice [for my ankle].’
In her caption, Spears then shifted blame to mom Lynne as she accused the 68-year-old of somehow being ‘involved’ in the ordeal.
‘I know my mom was involved !!! I haven’t talked to her in 6 months and she called right after it happened before the news being out !!!’ the Toxic hitmaker wrote.
She continued: ‘I was set up just like she did way back when !!! I wish I had grandparents !!! I can’t stand her !!! I honestly don’t care I will say it’

‘Psss this man is wonderful !!! He’s like a father to me and he got me through last night !!! I adore you and admire you mister Mathew !!!’
The videos shared by Britney were meant to be seen as proof that she had in fact twisted her ankle.
Referring to herself as a ‘f***ing idiot,’ she explained that she ‘tried to do a leap in the living room at the Chateau and I fell, embarrassed myself and that’s it.’
She continued: ‘Paramedics came to my door illegally and, of course, cause this huge scene which was so unnecessary and all I needed was ice [for my ankle].
‘But, yeah, [my twisted ankle] is actually pretty bad but s**t happens,’ the star concluded.
Shortly after, Britney shockingly shared a video of herself dancing in a sparkly costume and heeled boots at her Thousand Oaks home. It’s unclear if the video is new or from Britney’s archives.
‘Ok I’ve been messing around and I thought this costume was beautiful !!! I used to do shows in Vegas with two layers of tights on my legs !!!’ wrote the star, who famous held a Las Vegas residency at Planet Hollywood from 2013 to 2017.
She continued: ‘They never let me show my real legs !!! It felt kinda weird and idiotic with a costume on my living room !!!’
Britney then made reference to the late Prince, who famously wore flamboyant outfits on and off the stage.
‘Well Prince used to dress up in costumes everyday of his life in his house !!! He used to pick specific dancers to entertain him when he was bored !!! Useless information,’ she concluded.
Amid the Chateau Marmont drama, Britney’s ex-husband Sam Asghari, 30, posted a ‘life update’ that showed him smiling and posing shirtless on a hike with his dog.

However, a source close to Britney tells DailyMail.com: ‘She was out in Hollywood celebrating her divorce finalization. She did twist her ankle at the hotel and someone from the hotel called the ambulance to ensure that they would not be found liable to any injury she sustained.’
The source adds: ‘When the ambulance come the police come. She was resting when they arrived, hence the blanket and pillow. They examined her and left after determining that it was not serious. Of course she was thrown off by this. And no, she’s not moving to Boston.’
