Britney: I 'cried for weeks’ over doco ​

Britney Spears has broken her silence on the Framing Britney Spears documentary in an emotionally charged statement, revealing she “cried for two weeks” after it was released.

The New York Times doco, which aired in February, profiled her traumatic life in the spotlight, her conservatorship battle with father Jamie Spears and shone a renewed light on the way she was treated by the media and how it led to her downward spiral.

After it aired, Spears was embraced with an outpouring of support from fans and celebrities including Kim Kardashian, Miley Cyrus and countless others.

But despite the documentary leaning in her favour, Spears has suggested she wasn’t a fan of the documentary at all, or at least, the parts she saw.

Alongside a video of herself dancing in her living room, the 39-year-old pop singer told fans “I’ve always been so judged... insulted... and embarrassed by the media... and I still am till this day.”

She added: “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 !!!!”
 

Elsewhere in the Instagram post, Spears went on to talk about how she’d been “exposed my whole life performing in front of people.”

“As the world keeps on turning and life goes on we still remain so fragile and sensitive as people !! Every day dancing brings me joy !!! I’m not here to be perfect ... perfect is boring ... I’m here to pass on kindness !!!!”.

The 39-year-old pop singer uploaded a photo of a baby skull being held by a woman.

The caption didn’t do a whole lot to explain things for her followers, reading: “Devil is in the details …. wouldn’t want this baby to hit me one more time.”

The last bit is a play on the lyrics to her 1998 hit Baby One More Time, but that also doesn’t tell us a whole lot.

Fans were quick to question what the post meant.

The image came among a flurry of other questionable posts, including a video of Spears filming herself dancing in a black lace top with the caption, “I’m an extremely wicked looking vampire but really that’s the whole point!!!!”
 

Spears, who is currently embroiled in a conservatorship battle with her father Jamie Spears as to who can control her $80 million fortune, has been sparking concern for months thanks to her strange social media behaviour.

A source had earlier toldEntertainment Tonight that Spears has taken note of the public support.

“Britney has been much happier lately and those closest to her feel it’s because she’s received such tremendous support from her fans,” the source said.

“The release of the documentary has inspired an outpouring of more love than ever.

“While she hasn’t been able to make changes to her conservatorship, she’s received millions of messages from fans on social media and she feels far more understood.”

The source also said Spears has thought about engaging in some sort of interview, ideally with Oprah Winfrey.

“Britney has considered speaking out about her past, mostly because she doesn’t feel others should tell her story,” the insider explained.

“She’s always hated doing interviews but if she ever takes that step, Oprah would most likely be her first choice.”
