As you may or may not have heard, it was announced that Britney Spears was voluntarily seeking treatment for her mental health back at the start of April.
Things have gotten out of hand since then, and she’s here to set the record straight.
RELATED STORIES
It was at the beginning of April that we learned Britney was checking in to a mental health facility.
It had been reported that she was having a difficult time dealing with her father’s illness. She had shared a lengthy post about his illness at the start of the year.
Before she checked in to the facility, she also shared a reassuring post to fans.
“We all need to take time for a little “me time.” :)” she wrote.
And that should have been it.
But people took things way too far, and everything got blown out of proportion.
It got to the point where fans were standing outside of the facility chanting “free Britney”, and rumors swirled that she was being held there against her will.
Even her sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, was getting hate.
She resorted to making a lengthy post, defending herself and reassuring people that she had her sister’s back.
Anyway, it got really out of hand, and Britney decided to post a video, addressing the whole situation.
“Hi guys, just checking in with all of you who are concerned about me,” she began.
She explained that her family had been going through a lot of stress and anxiety.
The girl just needed some time to deal, but confirmed that she would be back “very soon”.
She’s doing well!
Watch the video for yourself and see.
Let’s use this moment as a lesson to remember that the media is always blowing things out of proportion so really, let’s leave Britney alone.
