Britney sported a bandage on her finger as she danced

Britney Spears was seen dancing around with a bandage on her finger almost two weeks on from her knife wielding controversy.

The chart-topping star wore a thick white bandage wrapped around the index finger of her right hand as she performed in a since deleted video clip on Sunday. Britney, 41, wore a long sleeved black top with cut-outs to the front to display her cleavage, teamed with leopard print panties and a pair of black knee-high boots for the clip as she danced to Daddy Lessons by Beyoncé.

Britney appeared to be simply taunting her fans with the bandage as she later posted a second set of videos wearing the same boots but with a sexy purple satin and mesh lingerie bodysuit adorning her toned physique. In the clip, she provocatively weaved and gyrated also to the sound of Daddy Lessons.

The move comes after she recently received a wellness check from local cops after her knife brandishing video caused concern among her fans. TMZ reported that “out of an abundance of caution,” deputies from the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department sent cops to check in on the Toxic singer after they received a call expressing concern for her. “Britney was home, and deputies were able to speak with her and determine she was OK … so they left,” the source revealed.

Meanwhile, she told her fans to ‘lighten up’ after she posted the video where she was dancing with two huge kitchen knives. The singer sparked concern as she spun and gyrated holding the dangerous-looking kitchen instruments. At the time she captioned the September 25 post: “I started playing in the kitchen with knives today!!! Don’t worry they are NOT real knives!!!”

She since claimed that she was simply copying fellow pop star Shakira and that nobody should be worried. Posting a further video to her Instagram account Britney stressed the good intentions behind the shocking clip. She wrote: “Lighten up about the knives I’m copying Shakira.”

Shakira performed at the MTV VMAs using knives for a rendition of her song Hips Don’t Lie earlier this month. When Britney posted her knife clip she wrote: “I started playing in the kitchen with knives today.” She added: “Don’t worry they are NOT real knives !!! Halloween is soon.”

However eagle-eyed fans weren’t convinced by her claim with one pointing out that the knives were “100 percent real” as an audible “clang” could be heard when she tapped them together. Several fans meanwhile jumped to Britney’s defence pointing out the comparison with Shakira.

One wrote: “Shakira did this in front of millions yet not one person said s–t, this isn’t a big deal, it’s literally fake knives.” Another agreed: “Look at her form in this video! She’s not going to hurt anyone.”
