The day after testifying about the punishing conditions of her conservatorship, Britney Spears shared the “secret” on why the photos and videos she shared on Instagram so often seemed happy-go-lucky when she herself was deeply unhappy. Below a quote from Albert Einstein, Spears wrote, “I just want to tell you guys a little secret 🤫… I don’t want people to think my life is perfect because IT’S DEFINITELY NOT AT ALL… and if you have read anything about me in the news this week 📰… you obviously really know now it’s not !!!! I apologize for pretending like I’ve been ok the past two years… I did it because of my pride and I was embarrassed to share what happened to me… Believe it or not pretending that I’m ok has actually helped… so I decided to post this quote today because by golly if you’re going through hell… I feel like Instagram has helped me have a cool outlet to share my presence… existence… and to simply feel like I matter despite what I was going through and hey it worked.”
