Britney Spears posted a sarcastic comment about relationships on her Instagram on Friday.
The 41-year-old pop superstar reposted text reading: “In every relationship, there is the person who immediately falls asleep and the other person who lies awake wondering how that is possible.”
The post was credited to the Thoughts From Aisle 4 blog, which was written by Marlene Kern Fischer.
It wasn’t clear from Britney’s comment why exactly she chose the post, or if it was meant to refer to her marital situation with husband Sam Asghari, 29.
In the lengthy caption that followed, Britney appeared to deny a recent report that she went overboard on coffee and Red Bull energy drinks, to the point that she allegedly stays up for several days at a time while over-caffeinated.
Head scratcher: Britney Spears, 41, shared an oblique comment about relationships on Instagram on Thursday. It follows disturbing reports claiming she stays awake for days after excessive caffeine consumption and that she has a ‘fascination’ with knives
Marriage: It was not clear if she considered herself one of the people in the relationship post
“I’m sharing because summer is just around the corner and I’m sweating like there’s no tomorrow!!!” Britney wrote, though her explanation seemed to have nothing to do with the post.
Spears fans have been concerned about the state of her marriage lately after she took a solo trip to Hawaii without her husband. During the tropical trip, she was seen several times without her wedding ring.
‘Not really to get in shape, but I like to sweat!!! I feel like I’ve accomplished something, you know ???’ she continued.
She added that she tried “ballet lessons,” although it was hard for her because “holding my head high isn’t always easy when your confidence isn’t that high!!!”
In her hyperactive comment, she acknowledges that the “meditation” aspect of yoga is “good, but she said she wasn’t interested in it right now.”
“I repost a lot of footage because it’s good to go back when a lot has happened and to look back and realize it makes sense now!!!” she continued, without explanation. “My mind is busy and sometimes that can be an easy target to mess with.”
In response to the recent reports of her allegedly dangerous caffeine use, Britney claimed she was now “sticking to watermelon juice, which is the craziest thing ever.”
She seemed to compare it to coffee and wrote, “I’ve been told for years not to drink coffee and now that I can it’s my pride…I can’t even look at it!!!”
“And green tea is my most precious asset!!!” she added.
On her own: It comes after she took a solo trip to Hawaii without husband Sam Asghari, where she was seen several times without her wedding ring; seen in 2019 in LA
Hyperactive: TMZ recently reported that Spears consumes too much caffeine and can stay awake for three days on coffee, Red Bull, Celsius, and dandelion tea; seen in 2017 in LA
Relaxed: Britney’s boyfriend Sam looked casual as he left the Four Seasons Hotel in Westlake on Thursday
The Toxic singer went on to refer to her readers as “You smart little turds,” though it wasn’t clear who she was referring to.
Anyway, she tried to downplay TMZreports on her excessive caffeine consumption.
“Sorry but I never stay up late at Red Bull!!!” It’s absolutely the worst drink ever,” she said.
Sources with direct knowledge of Spears told the publication that she often drinks coffee, Red Bull, Celsius and dandelion tea.
According to them, she can sometimes stay up for three days in a row, presumably because of the caffeine.
Spears has previously said she was given multiple medications commonly used to treat bipolar disorder, though she doesn’t appear to have said she has that specific diagnosis.
However, multiple sources have reported that she has bipolar disorder
People with bipolar disorder can alternate between depressive states and mania, sometimes staying awake for several days at a time. Caffeine consumption may also precede manic or hypomanic phases in people with BD.
Britney continued with an apparent non-sequitur – “I make jewellery, candles and doll clothes… Okay, so what???” — although she may have been describing things she likes to do in those moments when she’s supposedly awake for days on end.
Disturbingly, a source claimed to TMZ that Britney is living in “terrible terror” that “someone will come in the middle of the night, tie her up on a stretcher and take her to a psychiatric ward.” She reportedly has a ‘fascination’ with knives (seen above last month)
Earlier this week, a disturbing message came out TMZ claimed that spears has a “fascination with knives.”
A source claimed that the singer-songwriter is living in “terrible terror” that “someone will come in the middle of the night, tie her to a stretcher and take her to a psychiatric ward.”
Britney’s younger sister Jamie Lynn Spears previously claimed that when she was 13, Britney pulled her into a closet while holding a knife and repeatedly said she was “scared.”
However, Jamie Lynn clarified that she did not believe her sister intended to hurt her or anyone else.
