Britney Spears visited by cops after dancing with knives and showing off cuts on her arms and legs in scary video
BRITNEY Spears has been visited by the police after posting a video of herself dancing with knives in a terrifying routine.
Fans showed concern for the popstar this week when she shared a clip of herself swinging knives around her living room.
The video was enough to also worry the police, as they paid a visit to Britney’s home shortly after the post surfaced, according to TMZ.
Law enforcement sources revealed to the outlet that they received a call on Wednesday expressing concern for the 41-year-old and her recent social media activity.
The Ventura County Sheriff’s Department claimed that they were already aware of the video and decided to visit the singer’s home out of caution, the outlet claimed.
Britney was at home when the police arrived and they were able to speak with her.
The officers left after determining she was safe, the informant told TMZ.
The source added that “several people called the cops after Britney posted the knife video,” and “one of them is a person who actually did a welfare check on her in the past.”
The individual was reportedly “alarmed” by the clip.
DANGEROUS DANCE?
Earlier this week, Britney was spotted sporting bandages and cuts after sharing the shocking video of her dancing in a bikini with knives.
In the clip, the Toxic singer sported a tiny polka-dot top and white bikini bottoms.
She had what appeared to be a white bandage on her arm and cuts on her upper thigh and lower back, as previously noted by TMZ.
Britney alleged that the knives seen in her clip were fake, though they could be heard clanging together at various points.
SHARP OBJECTS
It’s been widely reported that Britney has a fascination with knives.
When the hitmaker was released from her conservatorship, there were a number of safety recommendations given to ensure her safety, including keeping knives away from the Toxic singer.
An insider told TMZ that Britney keeps sharp objects, like knives, throughout the home, including in her bedroom.
She reportedly keeps them as a form of protection, as she fears she’ll be institutionalized again.
On Monday, the entertainer shared yet another shocking video that showed her dancing while holding two enormous knives.
She used the blades, which appeared to be kitchen knives, to slice through the air as she moved.
Britney’s three dogs looked on as she worked up a sweat, spinning around and shaking her hips.
The animals went running as she kicked and twirled in their direction.
The Grammy-winner shared the clip on Instagram with no music playing in it.
She told her fans she was looking forward to Halloween in the post.
Britney wrote in the caption: “I started playing in the kitchen with knives today !!! Don’t worry they are NOT real knives !!! Halloween is soon!!!”
She disabled the comments on Instagram but the video made its way to X, formerly Twitter.
FAN CONCERNS
Fans on the platform were stunned by the display.
One posted several scared face emojis, writing: “Those were 100% real knives in Britney’s latest Instagram video.”
Another person suggested Britney had been inspired by Shakira, who danced with knives at the VMAs.
They wrote: “I love that my girl Brit was inspired by Shakira but Shakira used prop knives that were realistic but also safe to dance with.
“I just hope Britney gets it out of her system and put the knives down and order prop knives to dance with in the future.”
