00:00 I'm a Sagittarius, I'm very keen on freedom.

00:02 Britney Spears just made a shocking confession, that her fans were 100% right to think that

00:07 something's going on.

00:08 As we know, the pop star recently released her best-selling memoir, The Woman and Me,

00:13 Okay guys, so my book, The Woman and Me, is coming out October 24th.

00:16 Where she talks about her journey to fame and her fight against her conservatorship

00:20 that controlled her life and career.

00:22 I've been in the conservatorship for 13 years.

00:25 Her legal win in 2021 was largely thanks to the #FreeBritney campaign led by her fans.

00:32 Free Britney is the reality it lives.

00:36 She gave a shout out to her supporters after the court case ended back then, recognizing

00:40 the impact of their efforts in her victory.

00:42 Spears ultimately giving thanks to her fans who fought for her independence.

00:46 But in a now-deleted post on Instagram, Britney spoke candidly about writing her book and

00:51 having to keep her personal life completely private in the process.

00:55 She wrote quote, "Not only was my personal life kept secret, but it felt equivalent to

01:00 20 years of hard times that I wrote about in my book."

01:04 She added, "Can you imagine a 2007 that lasted for 3 years that nobody even knows about?"

01:09 So of course, 2007 was a heartbreaking year for her.

01:13 That is enough for me.

01:14 I cannot, I can't do that.

01:16 I don't do that.

01:17 Britney made headlines when she shaved her head and was the subject of so much scrutiny

01:22 from both the media and the general public.

01:25 February 16, 2007, Britney walked into a Tarzana, California salon and shaved off all her signature

01:32 long hair.

01:33 Just a year later, she was placed under the conservatorship that would last almost 14

01:37 years.

01:38 And Britney has asserted that this legal arrangement was cruel, alleging mistreatment by her father

01:43 and conservator, Jamie Spears, throughout the duration.

01:46 I'm also very proud of, for the judicial system and the judge.

01:50 Obviously it makes me sad to hear that she's still going through these tough times and

01:54 I think we all just want happiness and good health for Britney, especially given the hardships

01:59 that she's had over the years.

02:01 However, I will say that I love how open and honest she's being with her fans.

02:06 Britney should be able to speak her truth, which she historically has not been able to

02:09 do.

02:10 She also wrote in the cryptic post, "It's over now and I'm incredibly sad about those

02:15 times.

02:16 It's weird because although I do Instagram, I don't follow social media, the news, and

02:20 the fan chatter.

02:21 I've been doing that this week and it's weird because it feels like a lot of fans already

02:25 kinda know me and the way they speak is incredibly kind."

02:29 She also said, "They always had a suspicion that something's going on.

02:32 Well guess what Britney nerds, you were 100% right.

02:36 I don't have time to speak about any of it cause at this particular moment, it's beyond

02:40 comprehension."

02:41 So, Britney didn't specify the exact time period she's referring to and never really

02:45 delved into what exactly is going on, but I'm sure fans appreciate the honesty.

02:51 There's been lots of speculation around her well-being lately, with fans voicing their

02:55 concerns for Britney, largely due to her rather bizarre social media posts and cryptic captions.

03:01 So fans were particularly concerned when Britney posted to Instagram a now infamous video of

03:06 herself dancing with knives.

03:07 Now, this recent post also included a clip from the opening of the 1991 animated movie,

03:13 Beauty and the Beast.

03:14 The clip depicts a handsome prince rejecting an ugly woman who is seeking help.

03:18 However, as the woman reveals herself to be an enchantress, she transforms the prince

03:23 into the beast, explaining that there is no love in his heart.

03:27 Also noting that Beauty and the Beast is her favorite movie, Britney emphasized this significant

03:32 message, "Looks are deceiving."

03:34 So since posting this, Britney has been pretty active online.

03:38 She's since shared numerous other posts, including a photo of her standing on a beach, two videos

03:43 of her dancing.

03:45 So I think we can mostly agree that Britney's social media activity can be alarming sometimes,

03:50 but I believe a lot of it is just her having fun and expressing herself because she couldn't

03:54 for so long.

03:55 I just hope that she has a strong support system behind her, and that the people looking

03:59 to take advantage of Britney are out of her life.

04:02 It's also probably an emotional time for her, considering she had to deep dive inside her

04:06 past traumas when writing her memoir, and then reliving all of that all over again when

04:10 the book actually came out and passages were making headlines.

04:14 She's also recently gone through a breakup, with her ex Sam Ishgari filing for divorce

04:18 in summer 2023.

04:20 So I'd imagine that's enough to make anybody act a little funny.

04:23 So what do you think is going on with Britney Spears?

04:25 Are you also concerned for her well-being because of her Instagram posts?

04:29 Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.
