Britney Spears has promised she will keep speaking out amid her battle to end her conservatorship and says she is ‘not even close’ to saying everything she needed to say.
The singer, 39, shared a bombshell testimony in court last month and has also spoken out on her Instagram account in recent weeks, too.
She once again took to Instagram to tell her followers: ‘So I said “life goes on” in one of my recent posts but it’s always easier said than done!!!!!
‘In that moment that’s what felt was the easiest to say but I think we all know that I will never be able to let go and fully move on until I’ve said all I needed to say … and I’m not even close!!!!’
Britney added: ‘I was told to stay quiet about things for so long and I finally feel like I’m just getting here.’
The Toxic star has been under a conservatorship since 2008 following a public breakdown, meaning that she has not had control over her personal or financial decisions.
She has since petitioned the court for the rule to be removed after 13 years, alleging that she was ‘abused’ under the conservatorship.
Britney also took aim at the ‘people closest to her’, thought to be aimed at her sister Jamie-Lynn Spears, for not being there when she needed them.

She wrote: ‘There’s nothing worse than when the people closest to you who never showed up for you post things in regard to your situation whatever it may be and speak righteously for support … there’s nothing worse than that!!!!
‘How dare the people you love the most say anything at all … did they even put a hand out to even lift me up at the TIME!!!??? How dare you make it public that NOW you CARE … did you put your hand out when I was drowning????

‘Again … NO … so if you’re reading this and you know who you are … and you actually have the nerve to say anything about my situation just to save face for yourself publicly!!!
‘If you’re gonna post something …. Please stop with the righteous approach when you’re so far from righteous it’s not even funny …. and have a good day!!!!!’
