Britney Spears' former makeup artist says she doesn't write her own Instagram posts

After Britney Spears recently spoke out about her portrayal in The New York Times Presents: Framing Britney Spears documentary, fans have speculated that she has little to no control over her social media accounts.

Now, her former makeup artist Billy Brasfield has spoken out about the pop star, claiming Spears personally told him she doesn't write her Instagram captions.

"The content is her, but … the words are NOT how she feels," Brasfield told Page Six.

On Tuesday, March 30, Spears wrote a lengthy caption alongside an Instagram video of herself dancing to Aerosmith's song 'Crazy'. "My life has always been very speculated," she began in the caption. "Watched ... and judged really my whole life !!!"

"For my sanity I need to dance to @iamstevent every night of my life 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼 to feel wild and human and alive !!! I have been exposed my whole life performing in front of people 😳😳😳 !!!

"It takes a lot of strength to TRUST the universe with your real vulnerability cause I've always been so judged... insulted... and embarrassed by the media... and I still am till this day 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼 !!!! As the world keeps on turning and life goes on we still remain so fragile and sensitive as people !!!"

Spears' post also says that while she didn't watch the entire documentary, what she did see made her feel "embarrassed".

"I cried for two weeks," she continued. "And well .... I still cry sometimes !!!!"

Brasfield has posted on his Instagram claiming that Britney told him that, "Of course watching certain things that are now so far in HER past … circumstances that she has already lived through, and has moved beyond, that are now being brought up over and over, can be #emotional. She 'deals' with it, and frankly very well … she is not 'fragile'."

Brasfield worked with Spears on The X Factor in 2012 through her 2013 video 'Scream and Shout'. After her post, he told Page Six he "immediately knew it was not her," alleging, "I texted her about it and she texted me back last night."

"What was upsetting [about the post]," he added. "It was basically a narrative denouncing her fans and the Free Britney movement and people now taking a very conscious look at the facts and what is going on."
