Britney Spears On Police Wellness Check: ‘These Are Not Real Knives’

Britney Spears Addresses Police Wellness Check

Britney Spears is speaking out after the cops were called to her home after she posted a video of herself dancing with knives.

Britney had stated in the original post that the knives were fake. In her statement, she doubled down.

“I know I spooked everyone with the last post, but these are fake knives that my team rented from Hand Prop shop in LA,” she wrote on Instagram.

“These are not real knives. No one needs to worry or call the police. I’m trying to imitate one of my favorite performers Shakira … a performance I was inspired by !!!” she added. “Cheers to us bad girls who aren’t afraid to push boundaries and take risks 💅🏼💅🏼💅🏼!”

The initial post troubled some fans and it seems at least one person may have put a call into the police department to check on the star and make sure she’s doing okay.

Someone close to Spears called authorities “genuinely concerned about her wellbeing,” Ventura County Sheriff’s Office Captain Dean Worthy told CNN.

“Some would argue this is her expressing her creative freedom, and some might argue this is dangerous and there’s a safety issue or mental health concern,” said Worthy, but authorities opted to check on the singer’s well-being due to the initial call from someone close to Spears.
