Britney Spears threatens to sue Halsey and says she feels ‘bullied’ after singer dresses up as pop star for Lucky video

Britney Spears has threatened to take legal action against Halsey in a shocking social media post.

In the music video, Halsey channels her inner Britney as she samples her 2000s hit Lucky.

She also seems to find inspiration from Britney’s Toxic music video as she went nearly naked underneath a sparkly sheer bodysuit.

However, Britney was not a fan.

The Oops! I Did It Again singer shared a statement on X.

“For obvious reasons I’m very upset about the Halsey video,” Britney began.

“I feel harassed, violated, and bullied.”

“I didn’t know an artist like her and someone I looked up to and admired would illustrate me in such an ignorant way by tailoring me as a superficial pop star with no heart or concern at all,” the hitmaker continued.

“I have my own health problems which is why I took down my IG account yesterday.”

“I will definitely be putting it back up to show I CARE,” she spat.

“I’m speaking with my lawyers today to see what can be done on this matter. It feels illegal and down right [sic] cruel,” she concluded.

The U.S. Sun has reached out to Halsey’s rep for comment.

SUPPORT FOR BRITNEY

Fans rushed to the X post’s comment section to share their support for Britney.

“We are with you Queen!” one fan said. “You will forever be the Queen of Pop!” Stay strong Britney, we love you!”

“It definitely gave off a mocking tone not gonna lie,” commented a second fan.

“We [love] you. Definitely not cool Halsey,” added a third.

Another commenter disagreed, writing, “I ran to YouTube to watch Halsey’s video. I was prepared to be outraged. And I really don’t know what the issue is…”

“It’s a fabulous video and song. This response is extremely odd,” they added.

“I don’t understand Halsey video is very sympathetic and very beautifully made. Make me like you more if it’s about your journey,” they shared.

They continued, “If it’s about her it makes me like her more. And it can be about both of you and I will like you both.”

Just minutes after posting the scathing message, Britney reversed her stance on the video with another post.

“Fake news !!! That was not me on my phone !!! I love Halsey and that’s why I deleted it!!!” she wrote.

‘LUCKY’

The music video for Halsey’s single Lucky tells the story of the relationship between pop stars and their fans.

It follows a teenage girl, who idolizes Halsey and appears to be modeled after Britney in the video, as she models her style and makeup after the singer while also hearing the gossip surrounding the star.

The glamour of the music videos and red carpets are juxtaposed against the singer’s real life which includes loneliness, broken relationships, and illness.

Halsey shows that the life of a pop star, no matter how “lucky” it may seem, comes with its own trials and may not be so different from that of its fans.

HEALTH BATTLE

Last month, Halsey admitted she’s lucky to be alive and hinted that she had been diagnosed with lupus and leukemia.

The Grammy-nominated singer announced the lead track from her fifth studio album, titled The End, before revealing her secret health battle in an Instagram video.

She tagged the video, “Long story short, I’m lucky to be alive. Short story long, I wrote an album,” before tagging in charities that support people living with lupus and leukemia.

In a video, Halsey said, “I told myself I’m giving myself two more years to be sick.

“When I’m 30, I’m ­having a rebirth and I’m not going to be sick.

“I’m going to look super hot and have lots of energy and get to redo my 20s and 30s.”
