Britney Spears deletes her Instagram after most bizarre rant yet
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.

'I'm a mum with kids and two XL Bullies – Karens need to stop telling me to get rid'
A mum-of-two has hit out at 'Karens' telling her to get rid of the two XL Bully dogs she has had since before her children were born – and people have sprang to her defence A mum is "fed up of Karens" telling her to get rid of her beloved XL Bullies.. Emma Davies has hit back at commenters who say the dogs are dangerous in a post mocking the suggestions she get rid of them. She said: "I know they look all cute and they look really happy and we do really love them. When we go them we were just a couple with no kids, we didn't really have any commitments or responsibilities apart from our dogs. "Then a few years later we got pregnant with our first child and that's when all the comments started. People saying 'are you going to keep those dogs when you're having a baby'. Of course we said yes, we were determined to prove everybody wrong." Emma went on to share that after she had her second baby, the comments continued. She added: "Last year we had our second baby. All was going well until the other day when Karen from down the street decided she wants to stick her two pence in. "She loudly announced to us that we are really bad parents by having those dogs in the house with our kids. "That really made us think that because we've got these two dogs and kids, we really should get rid of them because Karen from down the street told us so. Emma has decided she will not be getting rid of the two dogs any time soon – and shared the conclusion she came to after the run-in with the rude neighbour. She concluded: "In reality, we all know that nobody listens to a Karen. We're gonna stick two fingers up to her and we're going to keep them. Sorry, but how could you actually hate those little faces." Kobe and Luna, the two XL Bully dogs featured in the Instagram post, split members of the public. One viewer praised Emma for raising the dogs right, writing: "Those dogs are happy as anything and very well looked after to." Another added: "Dogs teach our kids so much more than Karen's can even comprehend. I would trust a bully far more than some smaller breeds." A third disagreed and argued the dogs are still "unpredictable," writing: "Your two kids deserve to be safe. The dogs look gorgeous and I know you love your dogs. "However, I wouldn't take a chance on them turning on the children. It's not just these dogs as any can be unpredictable but I agree with Karen." XL Bully ownership is now restricted under a UK law which passed in December 2023. It is now illegal to sell XL Bullies and those who do own the breed must have a valid certificate of ownership.

Just beforehand, he revealed that he was dating lingerie model Yasmin Amelia - also known as Yasmin Bennett. His fans on Reddit claimed that he was taken, but noted that he has usually kept his cards close to his chest when it came to his personal life. One wrote on the forum platform: "Caught me off guard because he is a very private person especially about his dating/love life. "Even on the pod he has expressed his desire to keep things private and off socials. "Often relies on the 'can't talk to women'/catfish story to dodge specific relationship questions." However, the star has now broken his silence over the timing, saying that he wanted 'full control' of the narrative. Speaking on the Useless Hotline Podcast, he admitted: "That's part of the reason why we wanted to say something. "Because the two options were, say something. You have full control over how it comes out." However, the star rubbished the infamous 'Strictly Curse', as he claimed that it would not affect him. Strictly's George Clarke 'gives away' who his pro dance partner is George said: "Whatever you say is basically how people find out, or it stays private." He then explained that he didn't want there to be any rumours or anything that could ruin his relationship. The star added: "[it] just sort of takes all the control out of your hands. "But then, I [will] just go on stream after that and be like, that's not true, by the way. "But, yeah, she's my girlfriend." He also said that his girlfriend is still her own person and is getting used to being thrown into the public eye. This comes after he may have accidentally let slip who he's partnered with for this year's series. On the podcast he also spoke about the audition process where he revealed that he was partnered with Lauren Oakley. He also admitted that the duo rehearsed for a full hour together, as he explained: "I've not met anyone apart from, I believe her name's Lauren, who was the pro that I met. "Because when we had a interview for it, so it's like an hour long interview, and then like an hour long dance session." Lauren has appeared on the show since 2022, and so far has competed with two stars – Krishnan Guru-Murthy, who placed 8th, and JB Gill last year. She took over from fellow pro Amy Dowden mid-season after she was forced to withdraw due to injury. 7 George was the sixth star to be announced to be taking part in Strictly Come Dancing Credit: PA 7 The star explained that he would address any rumours that come out Credit: Instagram 7 Fans on Reddit noted that the star has always been private about his personal life Credit: Instagram
