Pop icon Britney Spears is back in the spotlight, defending herself after facing backlash over a video showing a messy corner of her mansion — including dog poop on the floor. The 43-year-old singer took to Instagram on Tuesday to respond to the criticism, writing, “Shame on those who judged my home in my pajamas!!!”
She paired the statement with a heartwarming photo of Justin Bieber and his son Jack, expressing, “I’m in love with this picture !!! So so beautiful !!!” — perhaps a way to shift focus away from the negativity.
Resurfaced Clip Sparks Concern
The controversy stems from a video originally posted on August 18, in which Britney was seen singing and setting up a ring light, while her dog roamed a cluttered living room. Despite her assurance that she was in the process of cleaning — saying she was tidying up “like no tomorrow” — the clip recently resurfaced and reignited discussions about her lifestyle and mental health.
Sources close to Spears have reportedly expressed concern, pointing to her history of mental health struggles. An insider told the Daily Mail that Britney “seems to be having an episode,” and noted that her home doesn’t reflect typical upkeep. However, those around her are said to be reluctant to intervene directly.
Post-Conservatorship Independence Still a Priority
Since the end of her conservatorship in late 2021, Spears has fiercely guarded her independence. In early 2023, a planned intervention by friends and family reportedly fell through due to disagreements, with some calling it “unnecessary.”
Britney Remains Unfazed
Despite online judgment, Britney remains unapologetic. Her Instagram post reflects a familiar attitude — unbothered, candid, and committed to living life on her own terms.
