I learned that a real note of expression with emotion speaks volumes for us all!!"

She reflected on keeping one's most sensitive part of the soul and allowing it to rebel, even if people would call it childish, silly, or annoying. The pop star also shared a message about surviving losing someone and moving through suffering and ugliness. She wrote:"Sadness and darkness survive to make an understanding of losing someone and the hurt and pain... Sometimes through suffering and ugliness and sacrifice, extremely rare and beautiful things can be manifested and shared that can touch another person so they understand they are not alone."However, Britney Spears has since edited the caption. The lengthy message was removed on November 30, and she made it much shorter by talking about feeling pretty in the bathing suit she is wearing in the video and finding the Mary Jane shoes to match it.Britney Spears recently deactivated her Instagram account amid her public dispute with her ex-husbandBritney Spears at the 29th Annual GLAAD Media Awards (Image via J.

She deactivated her Instagram on November 2 following a dispute with Kevin Federline and his memoir You Thought You Knew.According to People, her decision to deactivate the account came after an apparent fan comment sharing concerns about the pop star's dancing videos and how she tends to turn off the comments on her cryptic posts about her kids. While her X account remained active, per Rolling Stone, her Instagram directed visitors to an error page, saying the profile may be "broke" or has been "removed."The Instagram deactivation also follows Britney Spears' series of comments on Federline's claims in his memoir. Among his claims are the pop star's bizarre actions, like watching their children sleep while holding a knife. After the memoir's release, Speakes spoke on X and accused her ex-husband of "constant gaslighting" and being "extremely hurtful and exhausting."And while she didn't drop any names in her subsequent X post, per Rolling Stone, she reflected on how she is "always being threatened or made to believe I'm the bad one as they profit off my pain."On a lighter note, Britney Spears revealed in her since-edited Instagram post on November 29, per People, that she enjoyed a Thanksgiving meal. She said she "cheated" and was "so bad" that she couldn't look at food after Thanksgiving.
