Britney Spears hits back at claims she 'almost died' amid reports of an intervention: 'It makes me sick to my stomach'

• Britney Spears has responded to reports that concerned friends are planning an intervention for her.
• Spears wrote on Instagram that people had made up stories "that I almost died."

Britney Spears said she is "sick to my stomach" over "stories that I almost died" after tabloid reports emerged Thursday that her friends were planning an intervention for her.

Outlets including TMZ, People, E! Online, and Page Six published reports that people close to the singer were concerned about her mental health, and one report claimed that a friend feared for her life.

In the caption of her latest Instagram post early Friday morning, Spears appeared to respond to the reports.

"It makes me sick to my stomach that it's even legal for people to make up stories that I almost died," she wrote. "I mean at some point enough is enough !!! I'm probably going to have to stop posting on Instagram because even though I enjoy doing it, there's obviously a lot of people who don't wish me well !!!"

The "Gimme More" singer continued: "I'm honestly not surprised at all … Again doing the best I can !!! Again, the conservatorship has been over for almost a year … No folks, it's not 2007 … it's 2023 and I'm making my first homemade lasagna at home !!! I finally got my fireplace to work in my living room !!! As my hubby says it best: don't believe everything you read !!! All that love right back at ya !!!"

Over the last month, Spears and her husband Sam Asghari have shut down multiple reports about the singer's wellbeing.

After Spears was accused of having a meltdown at a restaurant last month, Asghari told TMZ that his wife was just "frustrated" that fans were filming her and invading her privacy during their meal.

Later in the month, after Spears temporarily deleted her Instagram, concerned fans called the police, leading to the local police performing a welfare check on the singer.

A spokesperson for the Ventura County Sheriff's Office told People: "Out of an abundance of caution, we responded to her home for a check on her well-being and determined she was safe and in no danger."

Spears then wrote on Twitter: "As everyone knows the 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."

She added: "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. During this time in my life, I truly hope the public and my fans who I care so much about can respect my privacy moving forward."
