‘I will never perform again’: Britney Spears reveals she's too 'traumatized' to perform live anymore
Britney Spears is thoroughly exhausted from all the drama in her life. Fresh after her conservatorship battle with her dad Jamie Spears, she was soon flung headlong into another controversy started by her ex-husband Kevin Federline whose comments indicated that she was not an ideal mom to their children. After all this, the popstar had an Instagram meltdown where in a now-deleted post, she said, “I’m pretty traumatized for life and yes I’m pissed as f–k and no I probably won’t perform again just because I’m stubborn and I will make my point.”
There was more to this shocking post than just the conservatorship issue or her disjointed relationship with her ex-husband or her fraught relationship with her sons. In her rant on the social media platform, she also complained about the lack of creative freedom on tours stating that she had been humiliated into working with the "tiniest" backup dancers while on tour. Spears, 40, criticized her prior experiences as a traveling musician, as well as the preparation necessary for each gig, in a meandering post that has since been removed.

She wrote in the deleted Instagram post, “The most offensive SO CALLED professional pictures on every tour. I mean they could have at least cheated and retouched them for me… just saying… two day shoots for new show in Vegas literally the worst ever… and me excited for the pictures for five months on tour… they never showed me any. I’d rather quit s*** in my pool and shoot photos of myself in studios over working with the most offensive people in my life. I'm extremely short dude but of course my team always hired the tiniest girls to be on stage with me... like 8 girls talk about humiliation good god... and tours WITHOUT conservatorship I only had 4 girls or 2 on stage with me!! JUST SAYING... you think I'm being silly you try being up there and feeling like that. I’m pretty traumatised for life and yes I’m pissed as f*** and no I won’t probably perform again just because I’m stubborn and I will make my point.”
Britney had only anger for her father Jamie who she claimed made her look “80 years old" in a Pepsi ad. “Kiss my God damn mother f–king a*s you f–king bastard," was the way she chose to lash out against him in the post. Since her conservatorship under her dad ended on November 12, 2021, the singer has been quite vocal about her family's involvement in her life and has been open about the "pain" her father inflicted upon her during her conservatorship years, and she has gone to the extent of saying she wished her parents "both burn in hell". In fact, Spears had, over the weekend, told her 42.1 million followers how she had a lot on her mind that she needed to get off her chest.
After venting out her anger about her father and her tour issues, in her next post, she wished she was able to have chosen her own dancers. In what fans are considering to be 'fatphobic' statements reportedly aimed against her rival Christina Aguilera, Spears captioned the post which had the quote, "I found there was only one way to look thin: hang out with fat people." Under the post she wrote, "I wish I could have chosen the nannies for my children … my dancers … I mean if I had Christina Aguilera's dancers I would have looked extremely small."
With the 'Toxic' singer pulling off yet another social media post by venting her frustration and anger toward dancers, fans on Twitter have responded to the pop star’s comments. "I’m just gonna say it. Someone needs to take social media away from @britneyspears. I think we ALL agree that what she went through was awful, but Britney fat shaming Xtina and her dancers is taking things way too far," one person wrote.

One user posted, "Paris Hilton and Selena Gomez BOTH unfollowed Britney Spears since she fat-shamed Christina Aguilera and her dancers. Britney’s gonna have to learn the hard way that it isn’t 2005 anymore and you can’t go around treating people like sh- because of their looks anymore."
Another person said, "I'm pretty sure that Christina Aguilera's dancers are beautiful in every single way.... so shut up britney spears and heal please!! Here ara the legendaries Monique and Gilbert."
While one fan couldn't bear the thought of not seeing her perform again as they tweeted, "NOOOOO @britneyspears let me see you one last time girl!" The trolling continued as one wrote, "Yas! Now everyone block @britneyspears cause she is fathphobic and problematic."
