LOS ANGELES — As the hearing that may determine the end of her conservatorship approaches, Britney Spears took to Instagram late Monday to air some grievances about the way she has been treated by her family.
“This message is to my family… for hurting me deeper than you’ll ever know,” beneath a photo of a mini typewriter.
In the post, she speaks of the disappointment of being blown off by “people you love,” and after leading with a reference to the “mini typewriter” pictured in the post, closes with a reference to Camila Cabello’s recent’ “Tiny Desk” concert on NPR.
“I found my mini typewriter !!!,” she writes. “Don’t you find it weird when you jump through hoops to organize trips or set up lunch dates with people you love only to know they’ll bail on you or leave after 10 minutes ? ??? It’s humiliating and it’s like every person I’ve ever opened to immediately says they’ll be gone on a trip for two weeks after… OK I get it… they’re only available to me when it’s convenient for them… well I’m no longer available to any of them now ???? !!! I don’t mind being alone… and actually I’m tired of being this understanding Mother Teresa… if you’re rude to me then I’m done… peace out ?? !!! This message is to my family… for hurting me deeper than you’ll ever know !!! I know the conservatorship is about to be over but I still want justice !!! I’m only 5’4″ and I’ve played the bigger person my entire life… do you know how hard that is ??? Ps … @camilacabello I found my tiny desk too !!!!!”
Spears’ next court hearing is scheduled for Nov. 12 and may mean the end of the conservatorship she was first placed under some 13 years ago. Her lawyer, Mathew Rosengart previously, has said he hopes for a direct resolution without further mental evaluation.
In June, the singer railed against the conservatorship in a 24-minute broadside against her father, Jamie Spears, the conservatorship and her family during her first court hearing since filing to remove her father as conservator of her estate last year. Her father has asked for the conservatorship to be terminated. JB
