On Wednesday, police conducted a wellness check on pop star Britney Spears after fans expressed concern over a video she posted on Instagram of herself dancing with knives.
The video, posted on Monday, showed Spears dancing with knives in her kitchen with the caption, “I started playing in the kitchen with knives today.”
According to Dean Worthy of the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office, police typically don’t respond to fan concerns about celebrities and what’s said or done on social media. However, in this case, someone who knew Spears personally called police to express their concerns.
Spears later posted again, saying she was simply copying Shakira, who danced with knives at her MTV Video Music Awards performance earlier this month. She also added that fans shouldn’t worry as the knives weren’t real.
These types of videos are a staple on Spears’ Instagram feed as she has posted clips of her dancing alone in her home for months.
