Britney Spears has resurfaced on social media to reassure fans that she’s okay as she continues to seek treatment.

I wanted to say hi, because things that are being said have just gotten out of control!!! Wow!!! There’s rumors, death threats to my family and my team, and just so many things crazy things being said. I am trying to take a moment for myself, but everything that’s happening is just making it harder for me. Don’t believe everything you read and hear. These fake emails everywhere were crafted by Sam Lutfi years ago… I did not write them. He was pretending to be me and communicating with my team with a fake email address. My situation is unique, but I promise I’m doing what’s best at this moment 🌸🌸🌸 You may not know this about me, but I am strong, and stand up for what I want! Your love and dedication is amazing, but what I need right now is a little bit of privacy to deal with all the hard things that life is throwing my way. If you could do that, I would be forever grateful. Love you ❤️❤️❤️

Spears then went on to slam her former manager Sam Lutfi for allegedly sending “fake emails” and indirectly addressed the #freebritney movement which has suggested she is being held against her will.

“I did not write them. He was pretending to be me and communicating with my team with a fake email address,” Spears wrote.

“My situation is unique, but I promise I’m doing what’s best at this moment 🌸🌸🌸 You may not know this about me, but I am strong, and stand up for what I want!”

Lutfi did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

Spears also praised her fans for their overwhelming support.

“Your love and dedication is amazing, but what I need right now is a little bit of privacy to deal with all the hard things that life is throwing my way.”

“If you could do that, I would be forever grateful. Love you ❤️❤️❤️,” Spears concluded.

“She’s doing great,” Asghari, 25, told TMZ on Tuesday. “Thank you for your concern.”

“She’s doing amazing,” Asghari continued before acknowledging the overwhelming support Spears has received from both celebrities and fans.
