Britney Spears Opens Up About ‘Scary’ Fire Incident Earlier This Year: ‘It Happens’
Britney Spears is recalling a terrifying incident that almost led her to visit the emergency room.
The pop princess took to Instagram on Monday (Sept. 30) to share a video recalling a story that happened about six months ago. “I was in my room and I turned the fire on and, all of a sudden, it blew up in my face,” she explained in a British accent. “It’s done it before, and the times it’s done it before, I quit so I always get my security to come in and light it for me because I was scared it was going to blow up.”
She continued, “But this time, I just threw the whole thing in there and it blew into into my face and took all my eyelashes off and my eyebrows and see this baby hair? These baby bangs? This is from six months ago. It fizzled all my hair. The person I was with would not wake up and I thought I’d have to go to the emergency room because my face was on fire.”
Spears noted that the injury left her in pain and she considered going to the emergency room, as “it hurt to touch my phone, it hurt to put ice on my face” for six to seven hours. Ultimately, she took three Tylenol pills, something she noted is “a really, really big deal for me” and went to sleep.
“All is good now,” she assured. “It happens.”
Spears is thankfully safe despite the scary moment, and has been working on a “special project” recently. “The project I might be doing isn’t a biopic story … it’s a fictional musical where I play an extremely intelligent character !!!,” Spears wrote on Instagram alongside an illustration of a girl hovering over a pair of cats. “It’s flattering to be in such good company like Jon Chu !!!”
Wicked director Jon M. Chu and Marc Platt are leading the film’s development, according to Variety.
