Lashing at everyone who has been showing “fake public support” since the uproar surrounding her conservatorship, Britney Spears, in a very public message, called out the people closest to her who are now publicly backing her after previously staying silent.  

“There’s nothing worse than when the people closest to you who never showed up for you post things in regard to your situation whatever it may be and speak righteously for support,” Spears wrote in a lengthy caption that appeared on her Instagram page.

The picture in the said post read: “Never forget who ignored you when you needed them and who helped you before you even had to ask”

“How dare the people you love the most say anything at all … did they even put a hand out to even lift me up at the TIME !!!??? How dare you make it public that NOW you CARE … did you put your hand out when I was drowning ???? Again … NO,” the American pop singer went on.

Although Spears did not name anyone in the post, she said, “so if you’re reading this and you know who you are….You actually have the nerve to say anything about my situation just to save face for yourself publicly !!! If you’re gonna post something …. Please stop with the righteous approach when you’re so far from righteous it’s not even funny.”

Additionally, she offered support to those who may be in a similar situation.

“PS if you’re reading this today and you can relate …. I’m sorry because I know what it’s like … and I send you my love,” she said.

The cryptic Instagram post comes a few days after she told a US court that she wants to press charges against her father Jamie for his alleged “conservatorship abuse”.

“I’m here to press charges. I’m angry and I will go there,” the singer said over a lawyer’s phone on Wednesday.

Earlier, last month, in a reveal-all testimony, the pop star opened up about her “abusive” conservatorship, asking Judge Brenda Penny to allow her to retain her own counsel and terminate the arrangement.

“I just want my life back. It’s been 13 years and it’s enough,” the singer said in her 20-minute address at the court.

Spears said that, under the legal arrangement, she has been prevented from having a contraceptive implant removed, despite wanting more children.

It had left her “traumatised” and “depressed,” the mother of two said.

“I’m not happy. I can’t sleep. I’m so angry. It’s insane,” Spears said.

Meanwhile, Jamie Spears has denied responsibility for many of the problems she complained about.
