Britney Spears Gets Police Welfare Check After Sharing Disturbing Knife Video

Britney Spears' well-being was checked by police on September 28, 2023, after the pop star shared a video of herself dancing with knives on Instagram12. In the video, Spears twirled around her Southern California home holding two large knives while wearing a crop top and bikini bottoms1. The video prompted concern, and the Ventura County Sheriff's Department conducted a welfare check on the "Circus" singer1. Once the sheriff's department established from two independent sources that Spears was not in any danger physically or emotionally, officials felt comfortable enough to clear the call without incident1.

A representative for Spears did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment1. Spears later told fans to "lighten up" after they expressed concerns over her dancing with knives in the video3. According to her caption to the strange video, the knives were fake, but the clink, clink noise the pair of butcher knives made when struck together was real4.
