LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Britney Spears has talked about her “emotional issue” and called this year “quite interesting” in a since-deleted social media post after being in the limelight for all the wrong reasons lately.

In her long post, Spears reportedly said, “I have a lot of emotional issues that come up in my kitchen. I have no idea why…I guess that’s usually where we as a family all come together to celebrate, pray and cook.”



Britney Spears says she's 'used to people taking my things'

The ‘Princess of Pop’ also revealed in her social media writeup that she did “crafts there,” before mentioning about painting and creating a stained glass lamp, which gave her “the most peaceful feeling”.

However, three months later, a maid “accidentally” threw the lamp that she was “in love” with. She then asserted that she’s “so used to people taking my things, like all jewelry two years ago…my two closets with ALL MY COAT collections of 40 years and they were the finest coats my friends.”

Britney Spears calls herself angel during her DUI arrest

The online admission was shared on her Instagram page over two months after her March 4 DUI arrest and rehab stint.

Footage from her arrest scene showed her failing a sobriety test and telling officers that she’s an angel.

Also, a police report revealed that when cops asked the 44-year-old singer rate herself on “a scale of zero to ten, with zero being completely sober, and ten being the most drunk she has ever been, where she would place her current level of intoxication. Spears placed her current level of intoxication at 'Zero.’”

“She appeared to speak with a British accent at times,” the report added.



However, Spears had herself admitted before the officers that she had 200 mg of Lamictal and 40 mg of Prozac as well as “one mimosa” hours ago.

Britney Spears goes to rehab to focus on her mental health

In April, the ‘Toxic’ singer checked into a rehab facility and after her release in later in the month, an insider told Page Six, “She’s healthy and happy and feeling very positive and excited to start afresh. Rehab was a great opportunity for her to ground herself.”

Another insider disclosed at the time that it was Spears' decision to check herself into rehab.

“This isn’t about one substance in particular, it has a dual purpose … this is about Britney putting her mental health first and taking some time for herself to focus on the things that are important to her,” they added.
