LOS ANGELES — An agitated Britney Spears shut down rumors on Thursday that concerned friends and family members were setting up an intervention for her.
The "...Baby One More Time" and "Toxic" singer was the subject of TMZ and People reports earlier this week alleging that people close to her told the sites that they are "afraid she's going to die," and were concerned about her erratic behavior and alleged mismanagement of medication and substance abuse issues. Plans for an intervention, which was set to take place in a rented L.A. home on Tuesday, were reportedly scrapped when the entertainer became "somewhat aware" of the arrangement, TMZ said.
But Spears, whose personal and professional life had been controlled by a conservatorship for 13 years, directly addressed the rumors in her latest return to Instagram — after deactivating her heavily scrutinized account repeatedly.
