deleting

Britney Spears has returned to Instagram a week after deleting her account.

The pop star regularly posted on the social media platform and frequently got fans talking by sharing clips of her dancing in her home.

But as of last Saturday (November 1), the page with the handle @britneyspears and with the screenname XILA MARIA RIVER RED showed an error link.

When clicking on the account page, none of the prior posts were accessible and a message popped up that read: “Profile isn’t available. The link may be broken, or the profile may have been removed.”

It happened after Kevin Federline, who was married to Spears between 2004 and 2007 and shares two sons with her, Sean Preston and Jayden James, recently made a number of accusations against her.

Today (November 8) her site was reactivated with a new post, in which she wrote: “So much has happened this year, it’s crazy … I try to live within my means and the book, ‘Draw the Circle’ is an incredible perspective. Get your ballerina, circle, and own your boundaries.”

She continued: “It’s incredibly strict and somewhat of a form of prayer but with so many endless possibilities in life, it’s important to do you and keep it simple. I know there is a confusing side too. The devil is in the details but we can get to that later.”

Draw The Circle is a 2012 book by pastor Mark Batterson that challenges readers to pray for 40 consecutive days.

In his new memoir You Thought You Knew, Federline recently claimed via The New York Times, that he was concerned over Spears’ current “situation,” which he believed was “racing toward something irreversible”, and then accused her of using cocaine during a period when she was breastfeeding.

Spears responded to Federline’s comments in a lengthy post on X/Twitter, saying that the “constant gaslighting” from her ex-husband has been “extremely hurtful and exhausting”.

In a follow-up post, she also implied that Federline was trying to “profit off my pain”. “I 100 percent beg to differ the way he is literally attacking me in his interviews,” she added.

Metro also reported that the deleted Instagram account came after Spears made two posts that left fans concerned. One saw her discuss the 2014 film Maleficent, and say that she thinks she may have suffered brain damage, and went through “a lot” more difficulty than she detailed in her memoir, but had kept it “hidden because its incredibly painful and sad”.

The second allegedly saw her appear on camera with visible bruises and explain that they were there as she “fell down the stairs at my friend’s house”.
