Britney Spears Health Update

“There’s rumors, death threats to my family and my team, and just so many things crazy things being said,” wrote Spears as to why she’s chosen to speak out. “I am trying to take a moment for myself,” she said, “but don’t worry, I’ll be back very soon.”

I wanted to say hi, because things that are being said have just gotten out of control!!! Wow!!! There’s rumors, death threats to my family and my team, and just so many things crazy things being said. I am trying to take a moment for myself, but everything that’s happening is just making it harder for me. Don’t believe everything you read and hear. These fake emails everywhere were crafted by Sam Lutfi years ago… I did not write them. He was pretending to be me and communicating with my team with a fake email address. My situation is unique, but I promise I’m doing what’s best at this moment 🌸🌸🌸 You may not know this about me, but I am strong, and stand up for what I want! Your love and dedication is amazing, but what I need right now is a little bit of privacy to deal with all the hard things that life is throwing my way. If you could do that, I would be forever grateful. Love you ❤️❤️❤️

A post from her Instagram on April 3 sparked the rumors, when she captioned a picture “we all need to take a little me time.”
