Britney Spears Returns to Instagram Amid Memoir Clash
Britney Spears briefly stopped using Instagram, which made fans a bit worried.
She's now back online!
She posted a picture and talked about how much has happened this year.
She mentioned a book that teaches you to be strong and set your own rules.
Britney also spoke about her past, saying her 13-year conservatorship was very hard on her.
This all comes after her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, wrote a book with some stories about her.
Britney says these stories aren't true and that he is 'gaslighting' her, which means making her question what's real.
She also said she misses her sons and that their relationship has been tough.
Britney Spears reactivated her Instagram account less than a week after deactivating it.
Her return followed a public clash with ex-husband Kevin Federline over claims made in his memoir.
Spears posted a message reflecting on her year, the book 'Draw the Circle', and setting boundaries.
Federline's memoir 'You Thought You Knew' includes accusations of troubling behavior from Spears towards their sons.
Spears denied Federline's claims, calling them 'gaslighting' and expressing sadness over her relationship with her sons.
