Britney Spears makes shocking confession about brain injury

Britney Spears left fans shocked and emotional after she claimed in a new Instagram post that she's suffered brain damage in the past. 

The singer shared a photo of herself riding a horse and wrote a long message comparing her struggles to the Disney character Maleficent.

In the post, Britney spoke about feeling as if her wings have been taken away, saying her back, blades and wings were once gone.

The Toxic singer compared her experience to the story of Maleficent, saying a king tried to destroy her spirit but could not take what was holy.

Britney reflected on a time in her life when she said she was unable to move freely for months and described the experience as deeply painful. 

However, the pop icon wrote that she believed her wings were taken and that she had suffered brain damage long ago, but now feels blessed to be alive and to have found peace.

Fans flooded the comments with messages of concern and love, as some admired her honesty and poetic way of expressing her pain, while others worried about her mental wellbeing. 

Many said her post reflected how she continued to heal from the difficult years she spent under conservatorship.

Later that day, the singer and songwriter shared a calmer post of a sunset with the caption “yesterday evening,” which fans took as a sign she was feeling better. 

Moreover, Britney also posted a tribute to her late grandfather, thanking him for teaching her to stay fearless in a world that can be cruel.
