After years of silence, Britney Spears is taking control of her narrative and turning the volume up on her views.
Especially in the wake of ex-husband Kevin Federline and son Jayden James embarking on high-profile interviews about…her.
Indeed, as reported, Federline sat down with 60 Minutes while 15-year-old Jayden spoke with ITV News. The latter praised Spears’ father Jamie and claimed he was simply looking out for his daughter with the now-terminated conservatorship that governed her life for 13 years.
Now, in an emotional address on social media, the Pop royal lays bare her take on the reality of her family life – while directly addressing her sons.
Leaving no stone unturned, the ‘Overprotected’ singer told her teens: “you were just like my other family. You secretly loved looking at me as if something was wrong with me.”
Spears also stressed that she is now an atheist, saying: “I don’t believe in God anymore because of the way my children and my family have treated me. There is nothing to believe anymore.”
Echoing earlier sentiments expressed previously, the 40-year-old added: “my dad needs to be in jail for the rest of his life.”
Check out the full address after the jump…
“I can totally understand why my family would have a problem with me doing my own thing. Maybe because I never have.
I’m sure it is a little bit different. Me not being responsible for three 18-wheeler trucks with tour equipment and thousands of people to be responsible for on tour.
So Jayden, as you undermine my behavior, just like my whole family always has with ‘hope she gets better’ and ‘I will pray for her’… Pray for what? [That] I keep working so I can pay off mom’s legal fees and her house?
Do you guys want me to get better so I can continue to give your dad 40,000 a month or is the reasoning behind you guys deciding to be hateful is because it’s actually over in two years and you don’t get anything?
I will say it. I sat in that kitchen and look you straight in the eyes, beautiful boy. and said ‘how come I can’t see you guys anymore? I just want to see you guys more? I look forward to seeing you seeing you guys weekly.’ You said, ‘mama, oh, it’ll change you.’ Yet you and your brother left me in that house always two hours early.
Preston would sleep. You would play the piano the whole time. And if I didn’t shower you guys with gifts and have amazing food ready and play a motherf*cking saint it was still never good enough. That one time I asked you looking straight in your eyes [and said] ‘I want to see you more.’ You called your dad. I never saw you again.
I didn’t do anything wrong and I know I’m not perfect, but the love I’ve given you and how much I adore you and your diplomatic way speaking like pop all self-entitled.”This can be fixed…I will see her when she’s better.” Jayden, it was a miracle I could even have a normal conversation when I got out of that place.
You were just like my other family. You secretly loved looking at me as if something was wrong with me.
I didn’t need a family hiding sh*t in houses and whispering behind my back, feeling subconsciously guilty because I paid for every f*cking thing in both homes. I needed unconditional love and support.
But guess what? The whole twist of it all, which would have made a little bit more sense: I was in the greatest state I’d ever been because I was actually able to speak up 100% and say…no.
It saddens me not one of you have valued me as a person. You’ve witnessed me how my family has been to me and that’s all you know. Like I said, I feel you all secretly like to say something’s wrong with me.
Honestly, my dad needs to be in jail for the rest of his life.
But like I said, God would not allow that to happen to me if God existed. I don’t believe in God anymore because of the way my children and my family have treated me.
There is nothing to believe anymore.
I’m an atheist y’all.”
Wow. Suffice to say, she did not hold back.
With that, what are…
