I wanted to say hi, because things that are being said have just gotten out of control!!! Wow!!! There’s rumors, death threats to my family and my team, and just so many things crazy things being said. I am trying to take a moment for myself, but everything that’s happening is just making it harder for me. Don’t believe everything you read and hear. These fake emails everywhere were crafted by Sam Lutfi years ago... I did not write them. He was pretending to be me and communicating with my team with a fake email address. My situation is unique, but I promise I’m doing what’s best at this moment 🌸🌸🌸 You may not know this about me, but I am strong, and stand up for what I want! Your love and dedication is amazing, but what I need right now is a little bit of privacy to deal with all the hard things that life is throwing my way. If you could do that, I would be forever grateful. Love you ❤️❤️❤️

"All is well," Britney told the world yesterday in a Twitter video message following lots of weird speculation about where she is and what's going on after reportedly being in a mental health facility to seek treatment for the stress of dealing with her father's illness.

Spears captioned the clip with this:

She told fans in the video message: "Hi guys, just checking in with all of you who are concerned about me,” the pop star, 37, said in the Instagram clip, which she posted on Tuesday, April 23. “All is well. My family has been going through a lot of stress and anxiety lately, so I just needed time to deal. But don’t worry: I’ll be back very soon."

One conspiracy theory about Brit's whereabouts was that she was being held against her will by Sam Lutfi, her former manager and BFF. Apparently old emails started circulating -- emailed Lutfi had written in the first place, pretending Britney had penned them -- and fans twisted that into a theory that Brit was being held captive by a bad guy!

Meanwhile, Spears boyfriend Sam Asghari told TMZ, on Monday: "She’s doing amazing. Her fans are amazing to be so concerned, but she’s doing great. … Nobody needs to worry. She’s doing amazing. She’ll be back soon."

We hope so!
