Britney Spears appeared to go on a rant recalling her previous injuries and it has put her fans on edge.

Britney Spears has recently had to deal with comments made by her ex and the father of her children Kevin Federline. His comments have gone as far as to question Spears’ well-being and suggest that she is mentally unhealthy.

And while Fderline's claims have been repeatedly denied and dismissed by Spears, the pop star's own words on social media have sparked concern amongst her fans.

On October 20, she shared an image of her riding a horse and added a lengthy caption discussing both her physical and mental health.

She wrote: “I had a traumatic experience as some of you know at the end of my book where for 4 months I no longer had my private door and illegally was forced to not use my feet or body to go anywhere… for a person like me who understands the sacredness is god speed… it did more than hurt my body…

“Trust me there’s ALOT I didn’t share in my book and still things at this very moment I’ve kept hidden because its incredibly painful and sad…

“I do feel the logic and mindfulness in my body as ONE was 100 percent murdered and destroyed I couldn’t dance or move for 5 months… anyways I know my post and dancing seemed silly but it made me remember how to fly…”

This appears to be in reference to the stir Spears caused back in 2023 for uploading a series of rather bizarre dancing videos on her social media pages.

Spears’ caption continued: “I do feel like my wings were taken away and brain damage happened to me a long time ago 100 percent… I have of course moved on from that troubling time in my life and I’m blessed to be alive…

“I’m showing my back one make up artist said dont you think its too big… people are incredibly cruel… still to this day I haven’t flown like I use to do you think if I go to the Vatican I might find something quite interesting there?”

Spears has often been candid about her mental and back in 2022 even suggested that she was suffering from nerve damage and numbness.

In an Instagram video, she said: “I wake up like three times a week in bed and my hands are completely numb … nerves are tiny and it feels like pins and needles from the right side of my body it shoots up to my neck and the part that hurts the worst is my temple on my head … it stings and it’s scary.”

She attributed these issues to her 2019 stay at a mental health facility, something she said was done against her will while under her conservatorship.

It is not strictly clear whether this is the ‘brain damage’ comment Spears was refferring to however.
