Britney Spears has been suffering in silence for some period just like her father although she is the one that did take herself to the mental facility.
Her fans were not happy with the way she was being treated and thus came demonstrating demanding that she get released from her father’s conservatory.
The songstress has, however, come out assuring her fans that all was well.
In a video posted on Instagram on Tuesday night, the 37-year-old singer insisted that ‘all is well’ during a time of extreme ‘stress and anxiety’ for her family.
Britney revealed her team had been receiving death threats as a result of ‘crazy’ rumours about her welfare, which prompted concerns that she had been sent to a mental health facility ‘against her will’.
‘I wanted to say hi because things that are being said have just gotten out of control!!! Wow!!! There are rumours, death threats to my family and my team, and just so many things crazy things being said. I am trying to take a moment for myself, but everything that’s happening is just making it harder for me. Don’t believe everything you read and hear. These fake emails everywhere were crafted by Sam Lutfi years ago… I did not write them. He was pretending to be me and communicating with my team with a fake email address. My situation is unique, but I promise I’m doing what’s best at this moment 🌸🌸🌸 You may not know this about me, but I am strong, and stand up for what I want! Your love and dedication is amazing, but what I need right now is a little bit of privacy to deal with all the hard things that life is throwing my way. If you could do that, I would be forever grateful. Love you ❤️❤️❤️’
In the statement, the musician then accused her ex-manager Sam Lutfi of impersonating her in email exchanges and accused him of ‘crafting’ fake communications. She wrote:

Britney was talking to her fans for the first time since beginning 30-day treatment at a welfare centre in Los Angeles, following her father’s life-threatening illness.
In the video, Britney admits that her family has been going through ‘a lot of stress and anxiety’ but insisted that she was ‘strong’. She told fans: ‘Just checking in with all of you, who are concerned about me.
All is well. ‘My family has been going through a lot of stress and anxiety lately so I just needed time to deal with it. Don’t worry, I’ll be back very soon.’
Earlier on Tuesday, Britney’s boyfriend Sam Asghari reassured fans that she was doing ‘amazing’ and urged fans ‘not to worry’ about her, following protests demanding that she be ‘freed’. ‘Nobody needs to worry, she’s doing amazing and she’ll be back soon,’ the fitness trainer and model told TMZ in a video.
Britney took a break from her 30-day treatment on Easter Sunday to be with him at Beverly Hills hotel The Montage and is believed to have returned to a Los Angeles facility.
It follows protests this week in Hollywood demanding that Britney be released from the facility amid concerns her treatment was orchestrated by her manager, and not Britney herself.
A group gathered at the intersection of Santa Monica Blvd and N. Sweetzer Avenue in LA with posters reading ‘Free Britney’, ‘Truth will set her free’ and ‘In Godney we trust’. Britney checked herself into a treatment centre in March amid reports that she was struggling to deal with her father’s life-threatening illness.
