Britney Spears reportedly has ‘had a fascination with knives’ and, at one point, TMZ revealed she slept ‘with one under her bed’ amid terror of being ‘re-institutionalized.’
A year and a half after the end of her 13-year conservatorship, which she previously described as ‘abusive’ in explosive courtroom testimony, a source alleged that the pop star, 41, remains in ‘mortal fear’ that ‘someone will come in the middle of the night, strap her to a gurney and take her to a psych ward.’
After regaining control of her own personal and financial affairs in 2021, the site claims those caring for the mother-of-two ‘prepared a list of recommendations’ for Spears, which included keeping her away from weapons and ‘not driving alone.’
The singer, who revealed in 2021 that she had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, is said to have a ‘constant fear of being re-institutionalized.’
Despite the recommendation, the Gimme More hitmaker recently shared a video of herself expertly using a large knife as she chopped up fruit in the kitchen while making fresh watermelon juice.
Fearful: Britney Spears reportedly has ‘had a fascination with knives’ and, at one point, TMZ revealed she slept ‘with one under her bed’ amid terror of being ‘re-institutionalized’
DailyMail.com has reached out to the Grammy Award winner’s representatives for a comment.
Last year, Britney’s younger sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, claimed in her tell-all book that her sibling once locked them in a room together while holding a knife.
In a passage from her memoir, Things I Should Have Said, the Zoey 101 alum, 32, recalled Britney telling her she was ‘scared’ before taking ‘large knife from the kitchen’ and pulling her into her room and locking them ‘both inside.’
‘She put the knife in the bedside table drawer and simply repeated, ‘I’m scared’’ Jamie Lynn recalled. ‘I knew something was wrong and I was powerless to do something about it.’
While discussing the claim on an episode of Alex Cooper’s podcast, Call Her Daddy, in 2022, the former child star clarified that she ‘never felt like [Britney] was going to harm’ her or ‘anything.’
‘It just felt weird. And I didn’t understand it,’ she said of the incident that reportedly occurred in 2004, shortly after Britney’s wedding to Jason Alexander, which was annulled within 55 hours.
At the time, Jamie Lynn would have been just 13, and Britney 22.
Britney vehemently denied the alleged incident between them on Twitter.

‘I’ve never been around you ever with a knife or would I ever even think to do such!!!’ Britney tweeted in 2022. ‘The only knife I ever saw you with at home was cutting the biggest pieces of squash I ever saw in my life and it was way too big for me to cut.’
Britney then expressed feeling hurt by the claims and said she was ‘actually very confused’ why Jamie Lynn was ‘making that up because it’s honestly not like’ her to lie.
Following the release of her book, Jamie Lynn defended her choice to tell the story as she pointed out her book is ‘not about her’ sister.
‘I can’t help that I was born a Spears too, and that some of my experiences involve my sister,’ she wrote on Instagram. ‘I’ve worked hard since before I was even a teenager, and I’ve built my career in spite of just being someone’s little sister.’
