In a quickly deleted Instagram post, the "Hold Me Closer" singer shared a photo of a flower before she typed up a lengthy message that was gone within the hour.

"I'm not sure why people are trying to stir up negativity ... you guys are always so d*mn sneaky !!!" she wrote. "I am talking about the ones who are creating lies !! I'm a woman who has the right to drive whenever I want to go shopping .. whenever I want and I do a d*mn good job at acknowledging my practice in just being a good person !!!"

In the "Britney Spears: The Price of Freedom" special, one of the bombshell allegations made against the pop star was that she drives around Los Angeles by herself. TMZ News Director Brad Appleton claimed, “Sometimes she’ll drive to a quiet dirt path, park, and just kind of meditate.”

"With that said I'm disgusted with the attempts of people saying I'm not well ... people are hateful and I have 3 dogs and I'm quite happy with my easy way of living ... I take care of myself !!"

Elsewhere in the special, insiders alleged that Britney consumed coffee, Red Bull, Celsius, and dandelion tea - which is known for its diuretic effects "by the gallon." The sources claimed that Britney drinks so much caffeine at one time that she has stayed up for at least three days straight.

However, Britney was quick to shut down those rumors in an Instagram post before the documentary even aired. Although she admitted that it's her "pride" that she can have coffee now since she was not allowed to drink her during her 13-year conservatorship, she is "sticking to watermelon juice," despite admitted that it's "the weirdest thing ever."
