Britney Spears burned off hair, eyebrows in fireplace incident

Britney Spears says she inadvertently burned off her hair, on her head and face, in a heated incident.

Multiple outlets report the 42-year-old “Stronger” singer dished about the blaze Monday on Instagram, though the post in question appears to have been deleted.

Spears said that back in the spring, she tried to light her fireplace — a gig generally reserved for her security personnel — and ended up losing her hair, eyelashes and eyebrows and suffering second- and third-degree burns.

The pop star was left to her own devices as her “companion,” as TMZ put it in an apparent nod to beau Paul Richard Soliz, was sleeping. Spears ultimately put ice on her face, contended with the pain for seven hours and took several Tylenol before going to sleep.

Just weeks after Spears and third husband Sam Asghari settled their divorce, for which he filed in summer 2023 after 14 months of marriage, sources in May told TMZ that Spears faced “grave danger.” They claimed that Spears was suffering with worsening mental health and substance abuse issues.

This month marks the one-year anniversary of Spears’ explosive memoir, “The Woman in Me,” which detailed her contentious relationship with the media, the more salacious elements of her early aughts romance with Justin Timberlake, as well as the inner-workings of her more than decadelong conservatorship.

Back in August, news broke that the bestselling book will get the big-screen treatment, helmed by “Crazy Rich Asians” and “Wicked” filmmaker Jon Chu.

Spears at the time said she was “excited to share with my fans that I’ve been working on a secret project with Marc Platt,” who Variety reported will produce.
