Police might have determined that Britney Spears was not in danger after social media users called for a welfare check this week, but the singer still feels “bullied” by the incident nonetheless. It’s hard to blame her.
“As everyone knows,” Spears wrote in a statement posted to Twitter on Thursday, “police were called to my home based on some prank phone calls. I love and adore my fans but this time things went a little too far and my privacy was invaded. The police never entered my home and when they came to my gate they quickly realized there was no issue and left immediately.”
Once the incident became a news story, Spears wrote, she felt “gaslit and bullied” as she was “portrayed once again in a poor and unfair light by the media.”
