Britney Spears revealed her boating injury following an alarming mishap.
Is she okay?
Amidst reports on Britney’s family plotting to get back in her good graces, she took a birthday vacation.
Britney was injured while boating. Yet, she curiously deleted the news.
What happened to Britney Spears?
On Sunday, December 7, Britney Spears posted a since-deleted pink bikini video to her Instagram page.
She posed while aboard a yacht, flaunting her gorgeous body.
Britney’s latest vacation to Mexico is in celebration of her birthday. She turned 44 on December 2.
Her caption caused alarm: “Did a flip off the boat but I hurt myself.”
Oh no!
Just before midnight on Monday, December 8, Britney re-posted the same bikini video.
Both clips end with her untying the back of her string bikini top.
However, this time, there was a key difference: the caption.
“I’m hungry,” Britney quipped in the revised post. “What’s cooking???”
Why did she delete the original post only to share the exact video again?
Why did she delete and re-post?
Obviously, Britney Spears did not choose to explain why she deleted her post only to replace it within a couple of days.
Nor does she have to. Like the injury itself, that is her business.
However, her fans are free to speculate about why she’d make this little edit to her social media.
One possible explanation could be the negative attention that she receives for even the most innocuous posts.
If people freak out about her dancing videos, then the story of her flipping off of the boat and getting injured will only elicit greater worries.
Recent reports have had nameless sources, ostensibly from Britney’s infamous family, whining about her not being in contact with the very people who kept her in a conservatorship for years.
Last month, a terrifying car chase video showed Britney evading a photographer during what appeared to be a relentless pursuit.
Famously, celebrities have died while fleeing from cameras.
Though Britney received praise on social media for her maneuvering as she tried to shake off the pursuer, that’s still deeply unsettling.
And it’s all fed into by the hysteria culture surrounding Britney’s every word and action.
Is she going to be okay?
Given that Britney Spears was able to walk and talk and personally update fans — from a boat, and not a hospital bed — we hope that she is perfectly okay.
Some injuries are just momentary pain. Others can change your life forever. And there’s plenty of space in between those extremes.
Despite the boating mishap, we hope that Britney enjoyed her birthday vacation.
Not everyone is big on birthdays in their forties. For that matter, not everyone is big on vacationing on a yacht off of the coast of Mexico.
But Britney deserves to have a good time — uninterrupted by random photographers intent upon ruining her fun.
