Spears’ struggles became highly visible in 2007, a tumultuous year in which she faced a very public breakdown.Following her divorce from Kevin Federline and a custody battle over her two sons, the ‘Gimme More’ singer’s erratic behavior, including the infamous incident where she shaved her head and attacked a paparazzo’s car with an umbrella, became tabloid fodder.These actions, while sensationalized by the media, underscored the intense pressure and scrutiny she was under.
In 2008, Spears was placed under a conservatorship with her father, Jamie Spears, taking control of her personal and financial affairs.
Although this legal arrangement was ostensibly designed to protect her, it also raised questions about the singer’s autonomy and mental health treatment.
In more recent years, Speaks herself has revealed the conservatorship was highly restrictive, contributing to feelings of helplessness and exacerbating her struggles.
The ‘Womanizer’ singer shed light on this period of her life in 2021 court hearings, in which she described the conservatorship as abusive.
She told a U.S. judge she’d been drugged, forced to perform against her will, and was prevented from having children, reports the BBC.
In a 23-minute appearance via phone, Spears said: “I just want my life back.”
Since the conservatorship has ended, the pop icon has been navigating her newfound independence, though not without difficulties.
This year, Spears finalized her divorce from fitness trainer Sam Asghari, adding to the turbulence in her personal life.
Now amid her birthday celebrations, the ‘Circus’ singer has sparked further concerns with fans after sharing new videos.
Spears, who recently turned 43, reportedly claimed she was only five years old and had moved to Mexico to escape the paparazzi.
She described a bizarre scenario, claiming she’d been put on a plane by the paparazzi while carrying a torch given to her by a friend.
The singer also referred to her recent birthday, inaccurately claiming to have turned 42 instead of 43.
Spears then shared that she’s now in kindergarten and has relocated ‘south of the border’ due to her frustration with the media’s portrayal of her.

“She’s suffering from a lot of trauma and needs prayer,” comments a third.
