Britney Spears says fans went a ‘little too far,’ ‘invaded’ privacy in calls that prompted welfare check

Britney Spears said Thursday some of her fans went a “little too far” and invaded her privacy this week when the sheriff’s department was called to her home for a wellness check. 

“As everyone knows the police were called to my home based on some prank phone calls,” the “Womanizer” singer wrote in a message on her Twitter page. 

“I love and adore my fans but this time things went a little too far and my privacy was invaded.” 

The 41-year-old said police never entered her home and “left immediately” after they realized there was “no issue” when they arrived at her gate.

“This felt like I was being gaslit and bullied once the incident made it to the news and being portrayed once again in a poor and unfair light by the media,” Spears added.
