Britney Spears left fans shocked and emotional after claiming in a new Instagram post that she had suffered brain damage in the past.
The singer shared a photo of herself riding a horse and wrote a lengthy post comparing her struggles to the Disney character Maleficent.
In the post, Britney talked about feeling like her wings were taken away, saying that her back, blades and wings were once gone.
The Toxic singer compared her experience to the story of Maleficent, saying a king tried to destroy her spirit but couldn’t take what was sacred.
Britney reflected on a time in her life when she said she couldn’t move freely for months and described the experience as very painful.
However, the pop icon wrote that she believed her wings had been taken and that she had suffered brain damage long ago, but now feels blessed to be alive and has found peace.
Fans flooded the comments with messages of concern and love, with some admiring her honesty and poetic way of expressing her pain, while others worried about her mental well-being.
Many said her post reflected how she continued to heal from the difficult years she spent under conservatorship.
Later that day, the singer and songwriter shared a calmer post of a sunset with the caption “last night,” which fans took as a sign that she was feeling better.
Additionally, Britney also posted a tribute to her late grandfather, thanking him for teaching her to remain fearless in a world that can be cruel.
