At the beginning of February, a documentary about the US singer Britney Spears made headlines.
One of the questions the film is about is whether Spears has been unjustly under her father's tutelage since a mental breakdown in 2008.
Now the singer has commented on "Framing Britney Spears" herself.
She did not watch the whole film, wrote the singer on Instagram.
But what she saw "made me feel ashamed by the light I was placed in," Spears said.
"I cried for two weeks and yes ... I still cry sometimes."
In the Instagram video, Spears says he dances to the song "Crazy" by Aerosmith at a late hour.
Spears wrote that there has always been a lot of speculation and judgment about her life.
For her mental health, she has to dance "every night of my life" to music by Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler, according to the singer.
"I do what I can within the framework of my own spirituality to try to maintain my joie de vivre, love and happiness," she wrote about the video.
According to media reports, Spears had recently applied for her father to be replaced as guardian in court.
The 39-year-old wants to make the interim Jodi Montgomery her permanent guardian.
Spears' father, Jamie Spears, took over the management of her assets in 2008 with the guardianship.
In September 2019, he temporarily resigned from this position for “personal health reasons”.
Montgomery stepped in.
The documentary shows, among other things, how Jamie Spears was awarded guardianship and since then has not only been able to determine his daughter's appointment calendar, financial transactions and contracts, but also earns a lot from it.
Several celebrities had recently shown solidarity with the singer.
