Britney Spears is apologizing for ‘pretending like I’ve been ok the past two years’ on social media in wake of her recent bombshell testimony, where she admitted to being ‘traumatized’ by the conditions of her ongoing conservatorship.
‘I did it because of my pride and I was embarrassed to share what happened to me … but honestly who doesn’t want to capture there Instagram in a fun light,’ wrote the 39-year-old via Instagram on Thursday.
Along with her own text, Spears included a photo of a child running through a field with the Albert Einstein quote: ‘If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.’

Britney began Thursday’s lengthy post by recalling how her mother Lynne would ‘always [pretend] like everything was ok’ for the sake of her and her siblings growing and how she drew upon that practice in her adult life.
‘I just want to tell you guys a little secret … I believe as people we all want the fairy tale life and by the way I’ve posted … my life seems to look and be pretty amazing,’ she wrote.
‘I think that’s what we all strive for !!!! That was one of my mother’s best traits … no matter how sh***y a day was when I was younger … for the sake of me and my siblings she always pretended like everything was ok.
‘I’m bringing this to peoples attention because I don’t want people to think my life is perfect because IT’S DEFINITELY NOT AT ALL,’ she stressed.

Prior to sharing playful videos featuring Spears, Asghari had taken to his Instagram to give his 1.8million followers a look at their luxe jet.
He snapped a photo of himself seated with his leg pressed against the retro-inspired interior of the jet, as a can of Pellegrino water and a bottle of Fiji water rested in cup holders next to him.
Holding his phone camera up to one of the jet’s windows, Sam captured video of her aircraft flying out of Los Angeles, but did not give any clue as to where he and Britney were heading.

Britney’s lengthy Instagram post – and well deserved getaway – comes just one day after Spears admitted her bizarre social media posts ‘are a lie’ in shocking testimony from her conservatorship battle.
She spoke to judge Brenda Penny via telephone on Wednesday afternoon where she revealed the severity of her health and well-being under the court-ordered conservatorship.
‘I’ve lied and told the whole world I’m OK and I’m happy. It’s a lie,’ Spears told the court. ‘I’ve been in denial. I’ve been in shock. I am traumatized.

‘Fake it ’til you make it, but now I’m telling you the truth, OK? I’m not happy. I can’t sleep. I’m depressed. I cry every day.’
Britney’s social media posts are often dissected and deconstructed by fans looking for any way into the mind of the Toxic singer.
In a video shared earlier this year from what appeared to be her home in Calabasas, Britney said she was ‘totally fine.’

She added: ‘I’m extremely happy, I have a beautiful home, beautiful children. I’m taking a break right now because I’m enjoying myself.’
Spears pleaded with the judge on Wednesday to re-evaluate the conservatorship she’s been under for 13 years, with dad Jamie at the helm of her $60million fortune.
‘I want this conservatorship to end. I truly believe that this conservatorship is abusive,’ she said in a passionate testimony. ‘I want to be able to get married to my boyfriend and have a baby but the conservatorship told me I can’t do that.’
The status hearing did not hear any petitions, meaning that a decision was not asked for. Judge Penny said that she will set a hearing as soon as possible, so that Britney can make her petition.

The last time Spears spoke directly to the judge was in May 2019 but the court was closed to the public and her testimony was sealed.
Details of her mental health have never been disclosed.
Her boyfriend, Sam Asghari, a 27-year-old Iranian personal trainer and actor, who she met when he starred in her 2016 video for the song Slumber Party, posted a photo to Instagram shortly before the hearing.
It showed with him in a T-shirt reading: ‘Free Britney’. He has been outspoken against her father, calling him ‘a d***’.
Jamie Spears’ lawyer, Vivian Thoreen – responding to Britney’s attack on her father- told Judge Penny in a two-sentence statement that Jamie ‘is sorry to see his daughter suffering and in so much pain.
She added: ‘Mr Spears loves his daughter and misses her very much.’
