Spears wrote about her family members, whom she has criticised on social media regularly since her conservatorship ended. “They ruined it for me, embarrassed me and made me feel like absolutely nothing.”
“I share this because I am aware of my love and passion to sing,”She continued her post. “And my own family made a fool of me … I’m not going to be a victim.”
