Britney Spears is taking a break from the divorce drama.
Fresh off the heels of husband Sam Asghari's "irreconcilable differences" filing, the "Toxic" singer took to Instagram to share how she's working out her frustrations in the kitchen.
In a now-deleted video shared to the social media platform, Spears filmed herself chopping bell peppers and tomatoes, before cracking a few eggs into a pan.
"Why don’t restaurants serve bell peppers in omelettes???" she captioned the post, Page Six reports. "That’s how I like it!!! It’s the only way …they are so sweet!!!" She finished off the breakfast creation with a slice of cheese and heavy seasoning.
And while Spears herself called it "the only way" to make an omelet, fans weren't quite so convinced. In fact, they were concerned.
"Someone please teach #BritneySpears how to make an omelet!!" one user wrote on Twitter. "You scramble the eggs first!! And please teach her how to cut a bell pepper!! You remove the seeds!! Lawd have mercy!!"
"What the hell is that!!??!! Cuz it's definitely not an omelet lol," a second worried fan chimed in. "She didn't even washed the veggies she used," another added. One person went as far to say that they were "never concerned" about Britney until they saw "that video of her making an omelet."
Omelet-gate comes just days after the Asghari-Spears divorce hit front pages. Britney confirmed the news of the split herself on Instagram Friday, writing, "As everyone knows, Hesam and I are no longer together … 6 years is a long time to be with someone so, I’m a little shocked but … I’m not here to explain why because its honestly nobody’s business!!!"
