Britney Spears got candid Tuesday about her reaction to the controversial documentary, "Framing Britney Spears."
The pop star, 39, finally broke her silence on the much-talked-about FX/New York Times doc, which covered her rise to fame and conservatorship battle, among other topics, on Instagram. She admitted that she has not watched the documentary, but she had an idea about how she was portrayed in it and it didn't sit well with her.
"I didn’t watch the documentary, but from what I did see of it I was embarrassed by the light they put me in... I cried for two weeks and, well .... I still cry sometimes," Spears wrote.
In the post, Spears shared a video of herself dancing to Aerosmith's "Crazy," revealing that she needed to dance to "feel wild and human and alive." The singer also commented on how "my life has always been very speculated, watched ... and judged really my whole life."
"I have been exposed my whole life performing in front of people. It takes a lot of strength to TRUST the universe with your real vulnerability cause I've always been so judged... insulted... and embarrassed by the media... and I still am till this day," Spears continued, adding thumbs down emoji.
Spears added: "I do what I can in my own spirituality with myself to try and keep my own joy ... love ... and happiness. Every day dancing brings me joy !!! I'm not here to be perfect ... perfect is boring ... I'm here to pass on kindness."
Several celebrities have also shared their thoughts and reactions to the controversial documentary since it was released in February.
Among them was actress Jennifer Love Hewitt, who said it was "interesting" and allowed her to reflect on the inappropriate fixation the media had on her body when her movie "Heartbreakers" was released 20 years ago.
Meanwhile, Jessica Simpson, just like Spears, has no plans to watch the documentary due to "anxiety." She explained that she knew Spears, what the latter went through and how hard things were for the "Toxic" hitmaker.
"If I were to watch it, like, reliving that for me it's like one of those like triggers, you know, it definitely gives me anxiety and I, I lived it," she explained.
