"I stop" the scene: on Instagram, Britney Spears puts her career on hold

Britney Spears ensures, in a long message posted Saturday night on Instagram, that she will no longer sing on stage as long as she is under the tutelage of her father.

“I'm not going to be performing on stage right now, not until my dad decides what I wear, what I say, do, think,” writes the Queen of Pop in this rambling and vociferous post.

"I did this for thirteen years ... I quit!", She adds.

The interpreter of "

and "

" has engaged in a fight to lift the tutelage that was imposed on him in 2008 after a series of high-profile slippages.

The plan is primarily administered by his father Jamie. 

Calling herself "traumatized", "depressed", Britney Spears, 39, had delivered on June 23 in a Los Angeles court an explosive testimony, in which she had detailed the control exerted on her life, her friendships, her finances, and even her contraceptive methods.

She has always continued to work, however, producing three albums over the past thirteen years and singing regularly on stage in Las Vegas, where she was artist in residence, an experience she ended abruptly in 2019.

A first victory on Wednesday

It was around the same time that the #FreeBritney movement took off, orchestrated in the streets and on social networks by an army of fans to support her in her fight.

On Wednesday, the former child star recorded a first victory, a judge allowing him to choose his own lawyer to defend himself in the proceedings.

Interest in Britney Spears' legal and psychiatric saga was recently rekindled by the release of a documentary, "

", which explores the deterioration of her mental health and her treatment, sometimes cruel, by some media.

In her post, the singer reveals "not to have liked the way the documentary brings back humiliating moments from the past".

"It's been a long time since I overcame this," she says.
