Britney Spears’s former makeup artist claims singer’s comments about documentary ‘are not how she feels’
Britney Spears’ former makeup artist has claimed that the singer didn’t write her recent Instagram post addressing the Framing Britney Spears documentary.
The singer broke her silence on the film earlier this week, saying that it left her ’embarrassed’ and that she ‘cried for two weeks’, however, some skeptical fans doubted that she’d crafted the message herself.
Even though insiders have claimed that the post wasn’t written by Brit’s social media manager, her former MUA does not believe the message came from Britney.
Addressing the Grammy winner’s post, makeup artist Billy Brasfield – who worked with Britney in 2012 and 2013 – claimed on Instagram: ‘The content is her, but… the words are NOT how she feels.’
He alleged to Page Six: ‘I immediately knew it was not her. I texted her about it and she texted me back last night.
‘What was upsetting [about the post] – it was basically a narrative denouncing her fans and the Free Britney movement and people now taking a very conscious look at the facts and what is going on.’
The MUA claimed: ‘Although it might be complicated for her, of course she is invested. It’s her life.
‘She does not like being a victim, she never wanted to be a victim and doesn’t see herself as a victim. She sees herself as a survivor and has navigated this with patience and strategy.’
Framing Britney Spears aired both in the US and the UK and took a look back over the highs and lows of Britney’s career in the spotlight and her relationship with the media, as well as her father’s conservatorship.
Sharing her thoughts on the documentary for the first time on Wednesday, Britney revealed to fans on Instagram that she ‘cried for two weeks’ and ‘still cries sometimes’, following its release.
Taking to Instagram, Britney shared a clip in which she danced to Aerosmith track Crazy and explained to followers that she dances every night for her ‘sanity’.
‘My life has always been very speculated … watched … and judged really my whole life !!! For my sanity I need to dance to @iamstevent every night of my life 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼 to feel wild and human and alive !!!’ she wrote.
‘My life has always been very speculated … watched … and judged really my whole life !!! For my sanity I need to dance to @iamstevent every night of my life 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼 to feel wild and human and alive !!!’ she wrote.
Britney continued: ‘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 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼 !!!!
‘As the world keeps on turning and life goes on we still remain so fragile and sensitive as people !!! I didn’t watch the documentary but from what I did see of it I was embarrassed by the light they put me in.’
Britney added that the film had left her emotional as she added: ‘I cried for two weeks and well …. I still cry sometimes !!!! 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 💋💋💋 !!!!’
