Britney Spears stans, you can relax: After taking a break from Instagram last week, the star has returned to (rightfully, tbh) dole out a little scolding to her zealous fan base. Apparently, the fact that Spears deactivated her social media account freaked fans out so much, that they called the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office to do a welfare check on the star. Y’all ... Britney is okay, she’s back on Instagram, and she certainly didn’t need a bunch of strangers to call the cops on her.
Per TMZ, local law enforcement showed up to her residence around midnight on Tuesday when fans prompted them to do a welfare check on the star, after she deactivated her Instagram. Thankfully, Spears was unharmed, but prompting the police to show up at her house just because she wanted a break from Instagram is a huge problem — which she addressed in a Jan. 26 Twitter post. “I love and adore my fans but this time things went a little too far and my privacy was invaded,” she wrote, later adding, “This felt like I was being gaslit and bullied once the incident made it to the news and being portrayed once again in a poor and unfair light by the media.”
