Britney Spears claims family 'will never take responsibility' for how they treated her

Britney Spears has opened up about her complicated relationship with her family, claiming she is “scared” of them and considers herself “incredibly lucky to even be alive” after how they “treated” her.

The 44-year-old pop superstar, freed from a 13-year conservatorship in 2021, shared her thoughts in a candid Instagram post on Thursday, taking aim at her relatives and asserting they will “never take responsibility for what they did.”

Alongside a photo of an adult holding a baby’s hand, Britney wrote: “As people, all we really want is to feel connected to each other and never feel alone ... for those of you in your family that have said to help you is to isolate you and make you feel unbelievably left out ... they were wrong, she said.

"We can forgive as people but u don’t ever forget. Yearning and longing for contact is always crucial!!! I’m incredibly lucky to even be alive with how my family treated me once in my life and now I’m scared of them.”

She added further, “It’s weird how God works in mysterious ways. My friends, what do you think he is saying today??? Because to be totally honest with you, no matter what he says, they will never take responsibility for what they did.”

Since gaining her independence, the Toxic singer has frequently shared videos of herself dancing on social media. 

However, she explained she hasn’t posted recently due to breaking her toe twice. “So I’ve made cheesecake today and I must say it’s pretty damn good ... my neighbor joined me with milk!!! PS I haven’t danced in a month because I broke my toe twice!” she wrote.

Britney returned to Instagram in November after briefly deactivating her account amid a series of erratic posts and a public dispute with her former husband, Kevin Federline, with whom she shares sons Sean Preston, 20, and Jayden, 19.
