Britney Spears' emotional post raises questions: 'Brain Damage'

Britney Spears has shocked fans once again with her latest Instagram post, claiming that she has suffered brain damage from a past “troubling time” in her life.

The pop icon wrote, “I do feel like my wings were taken away and brain damage happened to me a long time ago, 100 percent. I have of course moved on from that troubling time in my life and I’m blessed to be alive.”

The Criminal singer did not specifically mention the time she was talking about, but it looks like she meant her mental health crisis in 2019, which resulted in her being taken to a treatment center for help.

Paired with a photo of Spears riding a horse, the caption drew comparisons to Maleficent, the iconic character known for having her wings clipped.

In 2022, the singer claimed that she suffered permanent nerve damage, saying, “There’s no cure except God, I guess".

Her latest post comes days after ex-husband Kevin Federline claimed in his upcoming memoir that Britney drank alcohol while pregnant, further adding fuel to ongoing controversies surrounding the singer’s mental health and past struggles.
