Britney Spears Explains Why She’s Been ‘Pretending’ To Be Okay On Insta For All These Years

Britney Spears has returned to Instagram following her court hearing that made headlines across the globe yesterday.

The singer shared an Albert Einstein quote that reads, “If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them fairy tales.”

In the caption, Britney Spears shared a “secret” with her followers.

“I believe as people we all want the fairy tale life and by the way I’ve posted … my life seems to look and be pretty amazing … I think that’s what we all strive for!!!!”

She brought up her mother, who was present at the hearing yesterday, saying that her mother’s “best trait” is “pretending everything was ok.”

She said that as a kid, her mother would always pretend things were all good, even if they weren’t.

“I’m bringing this to peoples attention because I don’t want people to think my life is perfect because IT’S DEFINITELY NOT AT ALL … and if you have read anything about me in the news this week… you obviously really know now it’s not!!!!”

She went on to apologise for “pretending like I’ve been ok the past two years … I did it because of my pride and I was embarrassed to share what happened to me … but honestly who doesn’t want to capture there Instagram in a fun light!!!!”

She added, “Believe it or not pretending that I’m ok has actually helped … so I decided to post this quote today because by golly if you’re going through hell … I feel like Instagram has helped me have a cool outlet to share my presence … existence … and to simply feel like I matter despite what I was going through and hey it worked … so I’ve decided to start reading more fairy tales!!!!!”
