Britney’s airing out her closets, dusting out all the cobwebs, and throwing out the hidden skeletons.
Spears posted and then promptly deleted screenshots of text messages she claimed she sent her mom, friend, and lawyer after being forced into a mental health facility in 2019.
“It’s a little different with proof,” Spears, 40, wrote on Instagram early Monday.
In the first screenshot a text was sent to her mom, Lynne Spears, “He was saying he wants to UP the seraquil and I’m like whoaaaaaaa horsey go f–k yourself.
“Seraquil I thought was a sleep aid but it’s for bipolar and is WAAAAAY Stronger than lithium.” Spears continued, “I literally feel all the sick medicine in my stomach,” Britney continued in her text to Lynne. “I feel like he’s trying to kill me. I swear to god I do.”
However, it is unclear whether Britney was referring to a doctor or her father, Jamie Spears, who controlled her medical care as her conservator.
Seroquel, also known as quetiapine, is an antipsychotic medication that treats mood disorders including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
Spears claims after she texted her mom, there was no response and Lynne didn’t even check in with her daughter after Spears was released.
“Her words were …You should have let me visit you and give you a hug,’” Britney wrote. “She basically just brushed me off with pretending to care.”
In the second screenshot, Spears asked her childhood friend Jansen Fitzgerald to help her find new counsel. When Britney’s conservatorship began in 2008, a Los Angeles judge appointed a lawyer to represent her. She did not win the right to hire her own attorney until 2021.
“I need John bells number please,” Britney texted Fitzgerald in 2019. “When u can.”
Spears also asked her friend about lithium, the drug that Spears claimed made her feel drunk in 2021, after her team changed her meds without consulting her.
“I have a feeling you will say I will be ok but it still doesn’t make sense,” Britney texted Fitzgerald, claiming in her Instagram caption that she never heard back from her either.
In the last screenshot, Spears informed her court-appointed lawyer, Samuel D. Ingham III, that she wanted to make some changes in her life after being released from the facility.
“I want to talk about going to court when this is done and getting my medical rights,” she wrote, adding that she wanted her conservatorship to end.
“When this program is over I don’t want to work at all … I want to live for me and have an adventurous life,” Britney told Ingham, who resigned in 2021, paving the way for former federal prosecutor Mathew Rosengart to join the case.
Britney ended her Instagram caption by sharing a text that her sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, allegedly sent her around the same time, though she did not include a screenshot of that one.
“‘They’re not gonna let you go so why are you fighting it,’” Jamie Lynn, 31, allegedly wrote.
