In a recent video posted on her social media, pop icon Britney Spears was seen dancing with sharp butcher knives in each hand, causing alarm among her followers. The video showed Spears twirling and thrashing the knives while smiling, with her two dogs in the background appearing startled and quickly moving out of the camera’s view.
Initially, Spears captioned the video with, “I started playing in the kitchen with knives today!!!” However, after concerns were raised about the video’s alarming nature, she edited the caption to clarify that the knives were not real and mentioned Halloween.
This video raised concerns due to Spears’ history of struggles with mental health and her years-long conservatorship, which controlled many aspects of her life. In a documentary titled “Britney Spears: The Price of Freedom,” it was reported that the pop star had a fascination with knives for years. The documentary also highlighted Spears’ constant fear of being taken to a psychiatric ward, a fear stemming from her experiences during the conservatorship.
Spears’ sister, Jamie Lynn, had previously claimed in her memoir that Britney once brandished a knife at her after locking them in a room. However, Britney later denied the incident ever occurred.
Despite her past traumas and struggles, Britney Spears has been regaining control of her life in recent years. She has become more active on social media, sharing glimpses of her daily life and engaging with her fans.
