Britney Spears Short Social Media Break and Why She Loves Posting Naked Pictures
Many celebrities have shared how social media detoxes have helped them feel better and care for their mental health. When Britney Spears deleted her Instagram account, many assumed she was taking a break from social media. Usually, breaks from social media last for days and even weeks, but for the pop princess, she was back after 24 hours.
In her memoir, The Woman In Me, she also took the time to explain why she likes taking nude pictures of herself and why she shares these photos online. The explanation comes from excerpts of The New York Times.
According to the Grammy award winner, “I know that a lot of people don’t understand why I love taking pictures of myself naked or in new dresses. But I think if they’d been photographed by other people thousands of times, prodded and posed for other people’s approval, they’d understand that I get a lot of joy from posing the way I feel sexy and taking my own picture.”
The “Stronger” hitmaker has always been in the spotlight since making her debut in the early 90s as part of The Mickey Mouse Club. Growing up, she made a name for herself and was surrounded by controversies. Over the years, one thing that’s become apparent is Britney’s penchant for posting jaw-dropping images of herself on her social media account.
Some would describe these pictures as a creative outlet while others describe them as downright scandalous, bordering a thin line between self-portraits and pornography. Whether they’re nude images of Britney in her backyard, while horseback riding, or at the beach, Britney has no reservations about being in her skin, documenting them, and sharing the photos online.
Unfortunately, not everyone agrees with how Britney chooses to express her confidence and sexiness. One of them is her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, and their sons, 18-year-old Preston and 17-year-old Jayden.
While talking to iTVnews, Kevin shared what their sons must be going through, “I can’t imagine how it feels to be a teenager, having to go to high school. Who knows how many people ask them about it or talk to them about it?” As a father, he expressed concerned about how such images could impact their kids and how people might perceive and treat his sons with the unrelenting and continuous photo uploads.
Britney has experienced some very tough years from her conservatorship and her recent divorce. Still, the performer continues to make headlines. Most recently, bombshell revelations from her autobiography have placed her in the spotlight. People have asked about her mental state and if the singer might need help and intervention.
One of the shocking truths in her book revealed an abortion she had when she was 19 with ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake. According to the singer, it was one of the most painful experiences she had to endure since Justin said that he wasn’t ready to be a father. He also cited that they were too young to be parents.
If that weren’t shocking enough, Britney also admitted to cheating on Justin with one of her choreographers, Wade Robson.
