Britney Spears Reveals Lingering Effects of 2019 Crisis, Compares Trauma to “Maleficent”
Los Angeles, CA – Pop icon Britney Spears has disclosed she continues to experience debilitating aftereffects from the events surrounding her 2019 mental health crisis, stating she feels her “logic and consciousness” were ”100% murdered and destroyed.” In a recent social media post, Spears likened her experience to the Disney film Maleficent, where the fairy’s wings are stolen, saying, “I feel like my wings have been taken away and I was brain damaged a long time ago, 100%.”
Spears’ revelations come amid ongoing fallout from the end of her 13-year conservatorship and recent allegations made by her ex-husband, Kevin Federline. While the exact nature of the “brain damage” remains unspecified, Spears previously spoke in 2022 about nerve damage on the right side of her body. The singer emphasized she deliberately withheld details in her memoir due to the intense pain and sadness associated with them,adding she was unable to dance or move for five months.
The singer’s statements follow a defense against Federline’s claims, where she asserted, “If you really love someone, you don’t help them by humiliating them.” Spears accused her ex-husband of exploiting her suffering and suggested he harbors “deep anger” and ”hates” her. The disclosures highlight the long-term emotional and physical toll of the conservatorship and the challenges Spears faces as she rebuilds her life and career.
