Britney Spears has denied she “almost died” amid reports her family planned an intervention for her.
The hitmaker has, well, hit out at the recent reports in a lengthy Instagram caption shared yesterday, where she wrote: “It makes me sick to my stomach that it’s even legal for people to make up stories that I almost died.”
“I mean at some point enough is enough,” the 41-year-old Circus singer continued. “I’m probably going to have to stop posting on Instagram because even though I enjoy doing it, there’s obviously a lot of people who don’t wish me well !!!”

“I’m honestly not surprised at all … Again doing the best I can !!! Again, the conservatorship has been over for almost a year,” Spears went on. “No folks, it’s not 2007 … it’s 2023 and I’m making my first homemade lasagna at home !!! I finally got my fireplace to work in my living room !!!”
“As my hubby says it best: don’t believe everything you read !!! All that love right back at ya,” she concluded.
Sources told both Page Six and TMZ that Spears’ close circle were trying to conduct an intervention this week in order to encourage Spears to seek treatment.
The plan, however, did not go ahead, per the reports, as the intervention was deemed “unnecessary.”

It was reported, however, by Page Six that on Wednesday, Spears did see a doctor and the appointment went “well”.
“Britney is fine, and much of this has been overblown and grossly distorted,” a source told the outlet.
Sam Asghari speaks out
Spears’ husband Sam Asghari, meanwhile, also spoke out about the reports, insisting his wife is in “full control of her life” and confirming that the “intervention did not occur”.
He did not, however, confirm or deny if the intervention plan was in place initially.
”My wife is in full control of her life and will continue to make all decisions involving her care regardless of circumstances,” Asghari, 28, said in a statement to Access Hollywood.
“Speculation on her health is inappropriate and should end immediately,” he added.

Concerns about Spears re-emerged in January after she was seen getting upset at a restaurant while on a date with her husband, as fans filmed her.
In response, fans called the police for a welfare check on Spears following the songstress abruptly deleting her Instagram. Police ultimately confirmed that Spears was not in danger.
Spears then returned to the social media platform to deny having a breakdown, writing, “It is what it is … nope I’m not having a breakdown … I am who I am and moving forward in my life. I have never felt better !!!”
She also blasted her fans for calling the police, saying they had overreacted and noting that the incident overall made her feel “gaslit and bullied”.
Spears wrote: “I love and adore my fans but this time things went a little too far and my privacy was invaded.”
