“Don’t worry I’ll be back very soon,” Spears added.
The “Piece of Me” singer went into further detail about her current situation in the caption writing, “I wanted to say hi because things that are being said have just gotten out of control!!!”
“Wow!!! There’s rumors, death threats to my family and my team, and just so many things — crazy things being said. I am trying to take a moment for myself, but everything that’s happening is just making it harder for me,” Spears continued.
She also praised her fans for their overwhelming support.
“Your love and dedication is amazing, but what I need right now is a little bit of privacy to deal with all the hard things that life is throwing my way.”
“If you could do that, I would be forever grateful. Love you ❤️❤️❤️,” Spears concluded.
Spears’ heartfelt message came just hours after her boyfriend Sam Asgharispoke out about her condition.
“She’s doing great,” Asghari, 25,told TMZon Tuesday. “Thank you for your concern.”
“She’s doing amazing,” Asghari continued before acknowledging theoverwhelming supportSpears has received from both celebrities and fans.
“Her fans are so amazing to be so concerned, but she’s doing great,” Asghari told the outlet. “Nobody needs to worry.”
Fans of the “Piece of Me” singer have questioned the star’s treatment and some even gathered Monday night in Los Angeles outside West Hollywood City Hall demanding she be released.
Spearschecked into a facility for “all-encompassing wellness treatment”earlier this month. A source close to Spears told PEOPLE the singermade the decisionto get help all on her own.
“She recognized she needed to focus on her own health and sought treatment,” the source said. “No one forced her to go.”
The medicine Spears was previously taking hadlost some efficacy over time, PEOPLE learned. As doctors weaned her off the old medicine cocktail and created a new, tweaked regimen, the adjustment period was challenging.
Deeply upsetting to Spears was the failing health of her father Jamie, who washospitalized in November 2018after his colon spontaneously ruptured. In January, as Spears was gearing up for a return to the Las Vegas strip with her showDomination,the starannounced that she was taking an indefinite break from work to support her father.
Over the last decade, the singer has “received treatment, seen a psychiatrist and other doctors,” a family source previously told PEOPLE, adding that Spears has been on board with her treatment plan. “This is something she wants to do.”
