A new panic for the singer’s fans, who called the police after seeing her with knives in one of her videos.
Britney Spears’ Instagram profile is perhaps one of the strangest of all celebrities. There are those who only use their social channel to advertise their business, such as announcing new albums, new tours or new merchandising. There are those who use it to share personal moments and establish more genuine relationships with their fans. And then there’s Britney Spears, who uses Instagram almost exclusively to post videos of herself dancing in her living room..
However, one of the latest videos caused concern among fans: the singer was seen dancing with knives. Although the singer treated them with care, fans were left in no doubt after seeing such a video: they called the police, fearing that the singer might have a moment of ambiguity. And Spears reacted in a rather bizarre manner, as is typical for her now.
New concerns for the singer’s mental health
Authorities searched Britney Spears’ home after fans raised concerns about a video of her dancing with knives, a source close to the singer told NBC News.
The “Womanizer” singer posted the video to Instagram on Monday, writing in the caption: “Today I started playing with knives in the kitchen“. In the caption, Spears reassured fans by telling them not to worry because the knives were fake.
On Friday, three days after her new prop first appeared, Spears shared a new video and addressed the concerns of those who felt she was deliberately putting herself in danger.
“I know I scared everyone with my last post, but these are fake knives. which my team rented from Hand Prop in Los Angeles.” she wrote in the Instagram caption of another dance video. “These are not real knives. No one should worry or call the police. I’m trying to emulate one of my favorite singers, Shakira… performance that inspired me. Here we are, the bad girls who aren’t afraid to push the limits and take risks.“. The singer recalls Shakira’s recent performance at the MTV Video Music Awards.
This episode is just the latest in a series of events that have left Spears’ fans very concerned. Earlier this year, the singer addressed fans directly after someone called police to her home to check on her welfare. In this case, the concern arose from the temporary deletion of his Instagram account.
“As everyone knows, the police were called to my house because of some pranks.“Brinty Spears tweeted at the time. “I love and adore my fans, but this time it went too far and my privacy was violated.“.
He added: “I felt like I had been treated poorly and unfairly by the media again.. At this time in my life, I really hope that the public and my fans, whom I care so much about, can respect my privacy.“.
