LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Britney Spears has once again shared insights about her health issues with her fans, according to TMZ

The 42-year-old 'Toxic' singer revealed in a now-deleted Instagram post on Wednesday, May 22, that she wants to forgive the people who allegedly caused the “serious nerve damage” she is experiencing on the right side of her body. She mentioned that the condition is so severe that she “can’t even think sometimes.”

What did Britney Spears say? 

In a deleted post Spears said, "There was a time when I was held in a spot against my will for a very long time,” she wrote, probably referencing her time under her conservatorship which was terminated in November 2021.

“I haven’t been the same since,” Spears continued.

Additionally, Spears also posted a photo by Abagail Catania that featured a black man wearing a mask and holding a sign that said “White people have generational wealth. Black people have generational trauma.”

Despite writing about her troubled past in her memoir 'The Woman in Me,' Spears said her “extremely deep” trauma is “still there and probably will always be.”

Although she acknowledged that "it's okay to be upset some days or not be okay," she claimed that she had learned to deal with it by doing "the best I can" and that "that's something I don't feel like the world has allowed me to do."

"I feel bullied and it’s not fair to me,” she claimed. Spears added, "I have to be the bigger person and forgive my own parents… but that’s extremely hard!!! I will do my best to let it go and not let others down by my anger." 

The singer injured her foot after a well-publicized incident on May 2 at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles. She recently disclosed that she has nerve damage. The singer admitted to her Instagram followers that she had fallen while dancing at the Hollywood hotel.

Internet labels Britney Spears 'maniac' 

Social media users mocked Spears with a Facebook user saying, "So ur saying she's on a downswing with her bipolar." 

Another user said, "A complete maniac." A next user said, "I thought her tell all book was going to bring her closure regarding her past. And yet again for the millionth time she travels back to the past. She obviously has nothing better to talk about. How about getting back to the studio, write some songs and do music." 

A user said, "Very strange! This woman is strange." A next user wrote, "It's the mania."

Another user said, "She'll be back to hating them in another soon-to-be-deleted Instagram rant again soon."
