Four years after accidentally burning down her home gym, Britney Spears has opened up about another terrifying fire incident. In a recent Instagram post, the pop star shared details of a fireplace accident that happened about six months ago, which resulted in burns to her face and burns to her eyelashes and eyebrows.
The 42-year-old singer recalled the moment she was in her room and her face caught fire. Speaking in a British accent, Spears revealed that her fireplace had caused problems in the past, and she would usually have her security team light it down. However, this time he decides to do it himself, with disastrous results. She explained, “I just threw the whole thing in there, and it literally blew up in my face.”
Despite the dangerous situation, the man next to her continued to sleep, leaving Spears to handle the incident alone. The explosion scorched her hair and left her with burns, leaving her afraid she would have to go to the emergency room. “It took out all my eyelashes, my eyebrows, and — see these baby bangs? These are making all my hair look gorgeous,” she shared with her followers.
The pop star described the intense pain, saying it lasted for several hours, making it difficult to touch her phone or apply ice to her face. Spears eventually took three Tylenol, which she said felt like she was taking “f–king Vicodin”, and was finally able to get some sleep. Reflecting on the incident, he said, “It was really bad… it’s all good now.”
This isn’t the first time Spears has faced a fire-related scare. In 2020, she accidentally set fire to her home gym using candles, destroying most of the equipment and burning the place down.
Although the fireplace accident was a terrible tragedy, Britney Spears assured fans that she is now on the mend. After overcoming several fire incidents over the years, the pop icon remains resilient, sharing her experiences with a sense of humor and gratitude for her safety.
