For the last couple of months, Britney Spears has been uploading a series of strange videos to Instagram – fuelling the “Free Britney” movement like never before. So much so, that a petition has now been launched.
You won’t believe all the sinister details fans are unearthing…
And, this week, matters have reached new heights, with fans launching a “Free Britney” petition.
Since starring in The All-New Mickey Mouse Club, aged eleven, she embarked on a highly successful career as a singer and performer with the release of the hit single “…Baby One More Time” in 1998.
With hits such as “Oops, I did it again,” “Slave 4 U,” and “Britney,” the Mississippi born singer consistently topped the charts.
Bad press began during Britney’s breakup from husband and childhood sweetheart, Justin Timberlake, which was a very public and ugly split.
The singer sat down for an interview on 20/20 in which he revealed that he had, in fact, been intimate with Spears – even though the singer had repeatedly told the press that she planned on remaining a virgin until marriage.
Britney’s mental health began to dramatically deteriorate, and the endless attention and pressure from the public and the press alike started to take its toll.
The singer suffered a highly-public breakdown in the full glare of the world’s spotlight.
She had spent years battling mental health problems and, after her split from husband Kevin Federline, the father of her 2 sons, she headed to rehab in Antigua.
Birtney checked herself out after only twenty-four hours and flew back to L.A.
Britney had walked into Esther’s Hair Salon in Tarzana, an upmarket neighborhood of LA, and asked the owner to shave her head because her hair extensions were too tight.
And, when the hairdresser refused, the singer grabbed the clippers and went on to shave off her long locks herself.
The image of Britney, then aged thirty-seven, emerging from the salon with a freshly-shaven head and attacking a paparazzo’s car with an umbrella became one of the most famous snaps of that decade.
In January 2008, she was seen being carried out of her house after reportedly overdosing on prescription amphetamines and locking herself in the bathroom with her youngest son, Jayden, as she refused to hand him back to Federline, who had full custody of the children.
And has since continued making huge strides forward, winning back custody of her children, making more successful music, landing a lucrative residency in Las Vegas, and having a number of healthy relationships.
She is even in a happy, long-term relationship with her actor boyfriend, Sam Asghari.
Since her 2007 breakdown, Britney’s dad, Jamie, has had full control over pretty much every aspect of her life.
And he was named as the permanent co-conservator of her estate, along with an attorney, Andrew Wallet.
This video sparked concern among her fans.
Britney shared a strange video of her showing off her new flowers along to The Weeknd’s hit song, “Blinding Lights,” and people are convinced that there is a hidden message.
The music starts playing before the pop star can be seen slowly walking in and out of the frame, all while maintaining eye contact with the camera.
