Britney Spears Instagram Disappearance: Concerned Fans React

One day after sharing a post about her newfound freedom, where Britney Spears said she wanted to be “feared” not “pitied,” she disabled her Instagram account yesterday (March 16), leaving fans concerned.

When one types in Spears’s Instagram handle, the app’s standard message for deactivated accounts reads, “Sorry, this page isn’t available.” Neither she nor her fiancé, Sam Asghari, have explained the absence, but it comes after Spears made it clear that she would be taking control of her own narrative from now on.

Confusion is moving fast among fans, with some concerned about her well-being. See what they had to say on Twitter below:

• It's Quite A Coincidence

  Do you think the Lou Taylor situation might be playing a part in this? It’s quite a coincidence the day her team sends out these cease and desists to fans via Instagram Britney’s account goes down?

  She still isn’t well. Trust me, very familiar with the mental health issues.

• It Aligns With The Conspiracy Theories

  Britney Spears just posted on her Instagram a few days ago that Hollywood took her blood every single day and no one is even talking about it. What she is saying aligns with what the conspiracy theories have been saying for years. pic.twitter.com/UwzYnKbE3l

• She Probably Needs A Break

  She probably needs a break from social media. Y’all gotta remember, Britney is trying to heal from over a decade of trauma. Sometimes she needs a break from it all, including Instagram & all social media. I’m sure she will be back. She’s done this before.
