Britney Spears’ deleted videos spark concerns as pop star is seen smoking while dancing in racy outfits
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: A few years into her newfound freedom from the controversial conservatorship that dominated her life for 13 years, pop icon Britney Spears has landed herself back in the public spotlight.
However, rather than celebratory headlines of a star reclaiming her independence, Spears is making waves for more alarming reasons.
A bizarre series of Instagram videos posted on Saturday, February 17, and since deleted, have sparked intense concern among fans over the singer’s mental state and stability, as per Daily Mail.
Racy clips of a manic-seeming Spears gyrating in revealing outfits and even smoking have led observers to question her well-being, wonder about the presence of supporting figures in her life, and revive ongoing doubts about her ability to thrive on her own after years under external control.

Britney Spears seen dancing provocatively in skimpy outfits and smoking in recent videos
The videos, most of which have since been deleted, showed the 42-year-old pop icon dancing provocatively in skimpy outfits and even smoking in one clip. While the singer has posted frequently about enjoying her newfound freedom by driving and making financial decisions, the latest batch of posts had an unsettling, manic energy that left many fans worried.
In one since-deleted video, Spears referred to herself "feeling myself" as she danced while holding a 'white stick,' which appeared to be a cigarette. She wore a knotted pink t-shirt exposing her midriff along with tiny striped shorts and knee-high white boots.
Other clips showed Spears gyrating in a football jersey emblazoned with '69' and a revealing yellow bra top. Spears indicated in captions that she was happy to be dancing in a studio, claiming the space made her want to "lose weight."
However, fans noted her movements seemed more frenetic than joyful, with erratic hair flipping, shaking, and spinning.
Saturday’s worrisome Instagram videos signify the latest chapter in Spears’ very public personal struggles stretching back years. After rising to global fame in her teens, Spears dealt with a series of public meltdowns in 2007 and 2008, leading her father to obtain a court-ordered conservatorship over her life and finances.
Internet express concern for Britney Spears' mental health and stability
As word of Spears’ recent videos spread online, fans and commentators alike voiced escalating concern for the singer’s mental health and stability.

A third individual shared, "I’m not a professional or anything but her videos look more like manic episodes than anything else."
One user straightforwardly commented, "That’s not ok."
