Britney Spears has expressed her frustration with the ongoing public concern about her mental health. After enduring substantial media scrutiny throughout her career, the 43-year-old singer is now pushing back against recent speculations regarding her behavior. An insider shared with In Touch that Spears is increasingly annoyed by the focus on her perceived erratic actions.
According to the source, “Britney is dismissing new worries about her health and angrily urging others to leave her alone, despite valid concerns from those close to her about her unpredictable behavior.”
Ongoing Issues and Scrutiny
Spears‘ mental health has become a public topic since her notable struggles in 2007, including her head-shaving incident and subsequent breakdown. This challenging period resulted in a conservatorship lasting 13 years, mandated by her father, Jamie Spears, which concluded in 2021 following a protracted and emotional legal battle.
The “Free Britney” initiative significantly raised awareness about her quest for personal freedom, culminating in her release from a conservatorship, which was celebrated as a major triumph for the artist.
Despite this newfound freedom, the pop icon remains under scrutiny, with her latest Instagram post on her birthday, December 2, stirring up reactions. In this peculiar video, she mentioned relocating to Mexico to establish a kindergarten and humorously stated she is now “five years old.” This follows a controversial video from the previous year where she danced with knives, reminiscent of her struggles in 2007, prompting concern among her supporters.
Those close to her are reportedly balancing their support while respecting her space.
“There’s hardly a day without someone reaching out to check in on Britney and offer assistance,” a source shared. “Her friends and family are careful not to intrude.”
While some believe her unusual social media activities are simply meant to draw attention, the source perceives her intent differently.
“She creates these quirky videos to engage her audience,” the source remarked. “She understands that many fans enjoy her content and she has a blast making it. She wishes people would relax and stop critiquing her.”
This perspective aligns with thoughts from licensed psychotherapist Stephanie Sarkis, who has not treated Spears but mentioned that while public concern is well-meaning, it can easily become intrusive.
“As caring individuals, it’s natural for us to be worried about someone, and that’s perfectly fine,” Sarkis expressed in her comments to USA Today.
