When Britney Spears arrived at Esther’s Hair Salon in Tarzana, California, the world was watching her every move. Hours earlier, she had arrived back in California after spending less than 24 hours in a rehab in Antigua, and for months prior, she was plastered all over the tabloids as another girl gone wild - alongside Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan (who had just checked out of rehab weeks earlier). For the past year, Britney had been under constant scrutiny: driving with her son Sean on her lap, then almost dropping him on a sidewalk, melting down in an interview with Matt Lauer, and then gaining weight. But when she filed for divorce from Kevin Federline, the worst had been set into motion. Endless nights of partying, passing out in nightclubs, drug use, and viral crotch shots had cemented her fate as another Hollywood trainwreck. With Anna Nicole Smith’s death still making front pages, it was hoped that the media would show more understanding for a 25 year old woman who had been through more than she could handle - and with a close relative dying of cancer still fresh in her mind, in addition to a custody battle intensifying by the day, things weren’t getting any better. When Britney arrived at the salon at 7pm that night, paparazzi said that they had seen her crying in her car for 10 minutes - tear stains still visible on her sweatshirt. She asked the owner to open the salon, and then to shave her head. The owner refused, so Britney grabbed the buzzer, and in one moment, Britney had added another twist to her tabloid narrative. Once the ‘virgin' - then the 'bad girl.’ She had now become the ‘mad girl.’
When she left the salon that night, paparazzi asked her why she did it. She said, “Because of you.”
