However, she has yet to post anything at the time of this writing.

She deactivated her account on Tuesday night.

However, the move seemed to alarm some fans.

[{"selector":"#anim-aba2b442-0a43-4b86-8b10-dfacd93d6226","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5b819499-0fea-4c00-abba-6e547c77dc08","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-dc5364ce-3155-409e-9541-a5f4f99317b4","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Several fans called the cops and asked them to perform a welfare check.

The incident made headlines and gave Britney a lot of unwanted attention.

On Thursday, Britney took to Instagram to clarify that police never entered her home.

“This felt like I was being gaslit and bullied once the incident made it to the news,” she wrote.
