Britney Spears has asked her fans to respect her privacy after she says “prank phone calls” prompted a wellness check from police earlier this week.

The singer posted a note to Twitter on Thursday in which she addressed the police visit and said, “I love and adore my fans but this time things went a little too far and my privacy was invaded.”

As per TMZ, Spears posted an Instagram video dancing and saying, “I changed my name to River Red.” The singer then deleted her account, prompting concerned fans to call the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office. According to Spears, “The police never entered my home and when they came to my gate they quickly realized there was no issue and left immediately,” reported Variety.

Spears’ statement continues, “This felt like I was being gaslit and bullied once the incident made it to the news and being portrayed once again in a poor and unfair light by the media. During this time in my life, I truly hope the public and my fans who I care so much about can respect my privacy moving forward. All the love, B.”
