Britney Spears has vanished from Instagram following what may be her most unfiltered rant to date.
The pop icon’s Instagram page, once a chaotic but direct line to her 40 million followers, disappeared on Friday, with her profile link now redirecting to a message that simply reads: ‘Sorry, this page isn’t available.’
The departure from the platform comes without any warning or explanation, but just days after the Toxic singer unleashed a blistering tirade aimed at two of her ex-partners, accusing them of cruelty.
‘I dated two f****** complete a**holes,’ she wrote in a now-deleted post.
‘I realized I loved their dogs more than them and I think it’s because their dogs bowed to me every time I entered the room!!!’
Without naming names, Spears, 43, described the men as ‘cruel humans’ who failed to acknowledge her or even hold her hand during their years-long relationships.
‘I choose animals over people anyday!!! I’m so turned off by humanity and the way people have literally … I have no words!!!’
Some have speculated that the rant was in response to a series of recent interviews given by her third ex-husband, actor and fitness trainer Sam Asghari, who spoke publicly about the highs and lows of their short-lived marriage.
The couple split in 2023 after just 14 months, with Asghari recently admitting their very public relationship boosted his career, but also complicated his life.
‘When you’re in such a public relationship, that gives you that platform,’ Asghari told Page Six.
‘It sort of gave me that platform for who I am.’ He also acknowledged that being known primarily as Spears’ husband made some casting directors hesitate, calling the experience ‘a double-edged sword.’
In a separate podcast interview earlier this month, Asghari claimed he had pushed for a prenuptial agreement before marrying Spears in 2022, to protect her amid what he described as a lifetime of being exploited.
‘It’s very sad,’ he said. ‘I wanted to make sure that I’m the person that didn’t do that.’
Fans quickly connected the dots between Spears’ angry outburst and Asghari’s recent comments, though she never named him directly – nor her other unnamed ex, speculated to be one of her previous high-profile partners.
Spears, who shares sons Sean Preston, 19, and Jayden James, 18, with second husband Kevin Federline, has deactivated her Instagram multiple times in recent years.
Often, she’s gone dark following criticism, media attention, or what appears to be emotional distress.
Whether this latest exit from Instagram is temporary or a longer-term break remains to be seen.
