Pop icon Britney Spears is once again in the spotlight after facing criticism over the condition of her home. The 43-year-old singer responded strongly to online backlash after a video showed dog waste on her living room floor, pushing back against those who judged her personal space.
On Tuesday, Spears took to Instagram to address the controversy, writing, “Shame on those who judged my home in my pajamas!!!” She also shared a photo of Justin Bieber with his son, calling it “So so beautiful !!! (sic)” Her post seemed to be a defiant reminder that personal struggles and choices should not be trivialised.
The debate started after Spears posted a video on August 18, where she was seen adjusting a ring light while one of her dogs roamed around the room, where clutter and pet waste were visible. Spears reassured fans at the time, explaining, “Cleaning [my] house like no tomorrow.” However, the clip resurfacing reignited criticism, with many questioning her lifestyle and well-being.
Concerns around Spears’ health have persisted, particularly given her past mental health battles and the challenges she has faced since the end of her conservatorship. A source told the Daily Mail that Spears is “having an episode right now,” adding that she “does not manage her household typically.” The insider further noted, “We are going to see her battle through it the way she has for years,” reflecting the continued anxiety among her close circle.
Here’s the video:
This is not the first time intervention efforts have been discussed. In February 2023, Spears’ friends and family considered an intervention, but it ultimately did not materialise due to disagreements. A source described the move as “unnecessary” and “overblown,” noting that Spears has remained determined to live life on her own terms, an ethos central to her identity after breaking free from the conservatorship.
Despite the scrutiny, Spears continues to use her social media platform to assert her independence and respond to public judgment.
