Britney Spears came back to Instagram on Sunday and shared a particularly strange post, shortly after her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, made some surprising revelations.
The 43-year-old singer posted a photo of herself on horseback, taken from behind. However, she accompanied the picture with a strange and lengthy message, mentioning the movie *Maleficent* (2014) and stating she’d experienced ‘brain damage.’
The Daily Mail has contacted Spears’ representative to request comment but hasn’t yet heard back.
Britney Spears recently responded after her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, made a startling accusation in his upcoming memoir, ‘You Thought You Knew.’ Federline claims Spears allegedly hit their son Preston, now 20, while he was a child. The book is scheduled to be released on October 21st.
Kevin Federline revealed more statements from his sons, Preston and Jayden, including troubling claims that the boys sometimes woke up at night to find their mother standing in their bedroom doorway holding a knife.
Britney Spears’s team has refuted the allegations, according to a statement given to the Daily Mail.
Oh my gosh, you guys, she posted the most AMAZING picture! It’s Britney, but like, from behind, riding a horse…in the DESERT! It’s so ethereal and free, I can’t even. Seriously, it’s everything. I’ve been staring at it for like, an hour. It just *feels* like a new era for her, you know?
The person behind her took a picture, and it showed that most of her back was visible, with only a bra strap covering part of it.
Spears was mostly nude, wearing only a very short pair of white shorts and a dark, wide-brimmed hat.
Britney Spears started a social media post reminiscing about the Disney movie *Maleficent*, starring Angelina Jolie. She mentioned feeling connected to the film, specifically referencing the character’s ‘back, blades, and wings.’
Spears trailed off, recalling a story about how a king attempted to kill a woman, but instead, someone stole her wings. She emphasized that anything given by her true, loving father – God – is never truly lost. These wings, being sacred, couldn’t be destroyed by the king, and were instead secretly hidden away in a holy church with stained glass windows. Spears admitted this story wasn’t directly related to her, but she found it fascinating.
She detailed a deeply upsetting experience she’d previously shared in her memoir, *The Woman In Me*, which came out in October 2023.
She explained that a particularly difficult time – when she was confined and restricted from moving freely for four months – was deeply impactful. Having someone who understands the importance of personal boundaries, she felt, would have been incredibly helpful. She indicated this experience, which occurred while she was under a conservatorship and is now over, went beyond physical discomfort.
As a lifestyle expert, I’ve learned that healing is a deeply personal journey, and there’s so much I haven’t revealed, even in my book. There are still painful memories I’m processing. Honestly, for months after a truly devastating experience, my body just wouldn’t cooperate – I lost my ability to move and dance for almost five months. It was a complete shutdown, and I’m finally starting to understand the connection between emotional trauma and physical well-being.
She admitted her post and dancing might have seemed a little silly, but they reminded her of a feeling of freedom. She explained that she used to be very strong, often swimming with her young children on her back until they were four and five years old.
Then she appeared to resume speaking about Maleficent without warning.
Spears described the movie’s ending: the character goes to a church and discovers she has wings. She’s portrayed as a guardian of the wild moors, initially seen as a villain, but is actually deeply connected to nature. Spears noted that animals seemed to revere her, and praised the actress’s performance as brilliant.
I definitely feel like a past trauma significantly impacted me, almost like losing a vital part of myself. However, I’ve healed and I’m grateful to be where I am today.
Britney Spears shared that a makeup artist questioned the size of her back, leaving her feeling hurt. She added that people can be incredibly unkind.
She wondered if a trip to the Vatican might be enlightening, perhaps reconnecting her with her faith – a thought that seemed to circle back to earlier comments. She added, with a change of heart, that she hadn’t felt the same sense of freedom she once had in flying.
Spears ended by saying she’s sharing her story now because, given the untrue things being said about her, she wanted to offer a more truthful account of what’s happening. This likely refers to claims made by her ex-husband and sons in his recent book.
Britney Spears’ comments about ‘brain damage’ could be connected to a time in 2019 when she was unexpectedly admitted to a medical facility.
In 2022, she claimed that the episode left her with permanent nerve damage.
In a recent Instagram post featuring a video of her dancing, Victoria shared that she’s living with nerve damage on the right side of her body. She expressed that, as of now, she believes only divine intervention can offer a solution.
She explained that nerve damage can happen when the brain doesn’t get enough oxygen, essentially shutting down. She recalled a specific instance where she stopped breathing, and noted that nerve damage often results in numbness in different parts of the body.
Spears reported experiencing numbness in her hands and a pins-and-needles sensation on the right side of her body, sometimes waking up three times a week with these symptoms.
The pain reaches up to my neck, but it’s worst in my temple – it feels like stinging, and it’s frightening,” she said. “For the past three years, since leaving that situation, I’ve felt somewhat disconnected… I just couldn’t deal with it.
The former dancer had previously described instances where he claims Britney Spears acted strangely around her sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James.
According to Variety, recently released portions of the book *You Thought You Knew* reveal that Kevin Federline alleges Preston told him Britney Spears hit him.
He alleged that Spears severely damaged her sons’ hair with bleach, causing burns, and forced a young Preston to bathe with her. He also claimed she knowingly exposed Jayden to shellfish despite his allergy, and at one point, expressed a wish that both children were ‘dead’.
A representative for Spears has denied all claims after being contacted by the Daily Mail.
Kevin Federline previously alleged that the singer would stand in the doorway while her children slept, reportedly holding a knife, and that she used cocaine while nursing them.
Spears responded to the claims on X, accusing her ex-husband, Federline, of manipulating her and strongly denying any drug use.
Britney Spears’s team has stated that Kevin Federline and others are financially benefiting from her situation. They also clarified that the previous child support agreement with Federline is no longer in effect.
Following the release of information from Kevin’s book, the spokesperson stated that Kevin and others are once again benefiting from her story, especially now that he is no longer required to pay child support. She is solely focused on the welfare of her sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, amidst all the public attention.
The Daily Mail reached out to representatives for Federline for a statement, but has not yet received one.
I read in Kevin Federline’s book that Britney called him while Preston was on vacation in Europe. Apparently, she really laid into him, blaming him for absolutely everything that was going wrong. It was a tough call, to say the least, and he really felt the brunt of it.
According to Federline, Preston was shocked when she told him she wished he, his brother, and Federline himself were all dead.
Meanwhile, in Spears’s heated X message, she accused Federline of harboring hatred toward her.
She wondered why he was so furious, explaining that his dislike for her seemed intense, and he was expressing it very harshly.
Britney Spears added that true love doesn’t involve putting someone down, and stated that Kevin Federline’s actions were far more damaging than people realized.
She also shared that her ex-husband’s ongoing manipulation and denial of reality was deeply painful and draining.
Britney Spears shared that she’s been deeply hurt by the strained relationship with her sons, explaining that she’s consistently begged and hoped to rebuild a close connection with them.
The singer shared that relationships with teenage boys can be difficult, admitting she’s often felt disheartened and has repeatedly tried to connect with them.
It breaks my heart to say that I’ve always seen the way my own father has disrespected me. It’s been a constant pain throughout my life.
‘They need to take responsibility for themselves,’ she added.
It hurts that one son has only visited for 45 minutes in the last five years, and the other just four times. I deserve to be treated with respect, so from now on, I’ll be letting them know when I’m free to see them, and they can make the effort if they want to.
Spears explained that she’s the one who’s actually hurt by the untrue statements made in Federline’s book.
Those small deceptions in the book are clearly benefiting someone else, and I’m the only one being harmed by them.
The Baby One More Time singer concluded her statement with expressing love for her two boys.
Look, I’m completely and utterly devoted to them, okay? And honestly, if you *really* knew me, you’d understand that all that stuff you read in the magazines about me – the rumors about my struggles, about anything I drink – it’s just noise. Don’t listen to it. My love for them is all that matters.
For the past five years, I’ve been focused on living a quiet, meaningful life. I’m speaking out now because I’ve reached my limit, and I believe any woman in my situation would feel the same way.
Someone close to Britney Spears has shared that she doesn’t plan to publicly address the memoir, wanting to help her children have as normal a life as possible.
In his memoir, Federline shares that he hasn’t talked to Spears for years, but he’s growing increasingly worried about her and believes she’s heading towards a crisis.
It’s clear something is wrong: she’s acting unpredictably, withdrawing from others, constantly changing her relationships, and won’t accept assistance. We can no longer ignore the fact that she’s struggling.
He believes time is running out and a crisis is looming. He’s worried that if things don’t improve, the consequences will be left for the next generation to deal with.
They care deeply about their mother, and they recognize there are problems. However, they feel helpless because any attempt to offer support is met with hostility, misinterpretation, or accusations.
