Did a horrible “X Factor” audition send Britney Spears running off set?

According to TMZ, the new judge was “upset” and left the “X Factor” set on Thursday, the first day of auditions after a contestant butchered her song, ‘Hold It Against Me.’”

A photo shared via social media even shows Demi Lovato, Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid sitting at the judges’ table with Spears MIA.

But did Spears really bail because she was so bothered by the audition?

NO!

A source on the scene tells Gossip Cop that Spears actually went backstage “on a short break,” as the judges are known to do.

As for claims that a bad audition caused Spears to bolt, our insider says the singer “was not bothered by the song,” and people are just “overreacting.”

Spears herself later tweeted, “#Britneywalksoff??? LOL was just taking a little break people. I am having the BEST time!!!”
