Pop star Britney Spears candidly said that after enduring family abuse, she is "grateful to be alive."
Britney Spears posted a long message on her social media on the 4th (local time), saying she was grateful to be alive because of the way her family treated her, and added, "I'm afraid of them."
In the post he wrote, "As people, what we really want is to feel connected to one another and to never feel alone," and wrote, "Some family members, under the pretext of helping you, isolated you and made you feel unbelievably alienated and said that was helpful, but that was wrong. As people we can forgive but we never forget."
He continued, "The longing for connection and the desire for contact is always very important. Because of the way my family once treated me, and still do, I have been unbelievably lucky to be alive. And now I am afraid of them."
At the end of the post she said, "I broke my toe twice and haven't been able to dance for a month."
Britney Spears was under a conservatorship overseen by her father, Jamie Spears, from 2008 to 2021. As a result, he controlled her finances, medical decisions, and personal and professional matters for 13 years.
Before the conservatorship ended, Britney testified in court against her father, claiming he forced her to participate in the 2018 "Piece of Me" tour and the Las Vegas residency. She also alleged that her father gave her a very strong drug called lithium because she did not cooperate with rehearsals, and that he sent her to a rehab facility against her will and threatened her about her children, which caused a stir.
Britney also said she was forced by her father to use contraception and was forbidden from marrying or having more children.
Court documents show Jamie paid himself about $6 million during Britney's conservatorship. Britney is currently estranged from her biological father.
Britney is reported to be rebuilding her relationship with her sister Jamie Lynn Spears after a public rift in 2022.
