Britney Spears Gets Welfare Check After Dancing with Knives
The Los Angeles Police Department performed a welfare check on Britney Spears after she posted a video of herself dancing with large knives earlier this week.
TMZ reports that a member of the LAPD’s Mental Evaluation Unit requested the welfare check. Officers visited Spears’ home on Wednesday and spoke to members of her security team, who assured them that she was fine. Spears herself declined to speak with police.
In a caption for the video, Spears said the knives were not real, adding, “Halloween is soon.” However, in a follow-up video she appeared to have a bandage around her arm and a cut on her thigh, raising concerns that she had injured herself.
The LAPD previously performed a welfare check on Spears in January after several fans called police to express concerns over the singer’s online behavior. In response, she released a statement saying her fans “went a little too far and my privacy was invaded.”
In August, Spears separated from her husband, Sam Asghari, after just a year of marriage.
