This 'Chaotic' Scene Wasn't Actually In The Show

If you were to ask me to list what I remembered from Britney and Kevin: Chaotic before I camped out on my couch and re-watched the 2005 docuseries in its entirety the other day (I know, I know. I am a true American hero), my list would be very short:

  1. Britney Spears runs on a treadmill and reveals to assistant/BFF/intermittent cameraperson Felicia Culotta that she and new beau Kevin Federline went to the bone zone in that very room twice that day.
  2. Britney says “I’m ugly. My jaw hurts” and tells Kevin she wants to see Spun.

Beyond those moments, the docuseries was a blur. A blur shot by a camera that'd been strapped to the most unsteady hand. The blurriest of blurs.

During my re-watch, I found scene number one to be exactly as I remembered: the lighting, the sideways camera angle, the TMI that'd been etched in my memory were all accounted for.

Scene number two, however, is a different story. I waited for the docuseries to cut to Britney pontificating about time travel between mouthfuls of green beans. I waited. And waited. And waited. And waited.

...But it never happened.

The "I'm ugly. My jaw hurts" scene that made the Internet rounds a few years ago? The scene that is arguably the most famous scene from the docuseries? It didn't make the final cut. EVERYTHING I THOUGHT TO BE TRUE IS A LIE. (And by that I mean I remembered one part of Britney and Kevin: Chaotic incorrectly.)

To quote Britney: HUH?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

"Wait, where did that scene come from?" I asked the menu of the Chaotic DVD after the final episode ended. "Did that scene actually happen? Or was it just an urban legend? Did we convince ourselves we saw something that doesn't really exist? Did I convince myself I saw something that doesn't really exist?"

Not one to give up easily, I decided to watch the DVD bonus features. I'm glad I did, for I found this little beauty hiding among the deleted scenes:

It's real! We didn't imagine it! I still need to try butter beans!
