Britney Spearss IG on Framing Britney: I was embarrassed by the light they put me in

The last we heard about Britney Spears, she was petitioning to have her father permanently replaced as her conservator by Jodi Montgomery, who was appointed a temporary conservator of her person in 2019. Britney hasn’t spoken to her father in over a year, but he remains co-conservator of her finances along with Bessamer Trust. There’s been a renewed interest in Britney’s 13 year conservatorship due to the NY Times’ documentary, Framing Britney Spears, which came out in early February. Britney recently posted a video of herself dancing to Aerosmith’s Crazy. In her caption, she commented for the first time about the doc. It sounds like Britney is trying to focus on the positive and that she’s not ready to view the documentary as it hits too close to home. Here’s some of what she wrote and I’m excluding the emojis, which you can see on her Instagram.

My life has always been very speculated …

watched … and judged really my whole life !!! For my sanity I need to dance to @iamstevent every night of my life to feel wild and human and alive !!! I have been exposed my whole life performing in front of people!!! It takes a lot of strength to TRUST the universe with your real vulnerability cause I’ve always been so judged… insulted… and embarrassed by the media… and I still am till this day!!!! As the world keeps on turning and life goes on we still remain so fragile and sensitive as people !!! I didn’t watch the documentary but from what I did see of it I was embarrassed by the light they put me in … I cried for two weeks and well …. I still cry sometimes !!!! I do what I can in my own spirituality with myself to try and keep my own joy … love … and happiness!!!! Every day dancing brings me joy !!! I’m not here to be perfect … perfect is boring … I’m here to pass on kindness !!!!

I love to dance and understand why she keeps making videos where she’s dancing. Whenever I dance it’s like the world and all my stress melts away. The caption is strange to me though. While Framing Britney Spears would surely bring up a lot of bad memories for Britney, it would also show her how much support she has. Her past was finally shown under a different, more sympathetic light. So many people saw that and realized that she should no longer be in a conservatorship, and that her kids were used against her as pawns. Instead Britney, or whoever wrote this, is acting like it’s hurting her that this is even out there.

I checked the comments for this post and a lot of people say Britney doesn’t run her social media accounts and there’s no chance she wrote this. It would make sense that someone in control of Britney’s accounts would try to make it sound like she’s hurting and we should just leave her alone. They have such a vested interest in diverting attention away from this story.

My friend Lisa at the Eat, Pray Britney podcast told me that Britney doesn’t control her Instagram and that it’s run by a social media company called Crowdsurf. She also said that the timing of this is very suspicious because details of the conservatorship’s payments to her father just came out yesterday. She wrote:

Yesterday all this accounting information came out related to how much ppl are getting paid by the conservatorship and this seems like too much of a coincidence that this insta post happens on the same day as that. Bc now everyone is just talking about the Instagram post and not about how much money she is having to pay all these ppl. Also, we’ve heard from her boyfriend and other sources that she really has appreciated the fans’ support following the doc, making it seem like she wasn’t upset about it being made. It benefits her dad to have ppl feeling guilty about watching the doc bc it’s so negative towards him.

Lisa sent me this thread showing how much Britney’s estate paid for her father to fight against her wishes in court:

New court docs: Britney Spears paid around $890K for about four months of work, or about $10,000 a workday, for her father's lawyers to fight against her wishes in court. pic.twitter.com/N5JlPFpE1s
