Britney Spears' nude Instagrams are causing concern

You may have grown up with Britney Spears as a cultural icon. The pop star was hugely popular in the late ’90s and early 2000s for hits like “Baby One More Time” and “Oops!… I Did It Again.” But it seems Britney’s time in the spotlight hasn’t been all that easy. Over the years, she has struggled to maintain her image as a role model for young women, especially after her more controversial moments, like her 2007 meltdown.

1 The post is one of many the singer has shared recently that don’t show her face or eyes.

Britney Spears has been making waves on Instagram lately with a series of posts that have some fans concerned. These posts, which don’t show the singer’s face or eyes, are among many she has shared recently that seem to represent her mental state.

One post in particular, from September 4th, featured the singer posing nude but for a hat and heels. Spears’ body looked toned and fit, but the post wasn’t about flaunting a “hot bod.” Instead it seemed to be about sharing something deeper: a moment of self-realization.

2 Her fans are concerned.

Britney’s fans have been expressing worry over the singer’s well-being since last year, when she was seen in a video driving aimlessly around Los Angeles for hours. In that same video, Britney told her fans that she was trying to cope with the fact that her father had been sick for several months.

“Britney has said before how lonely she often feels and how much her dad being ill has affected her,” an anonymous source told The Sun last year. “She just seems to be crying out for help.”

In the midst of all this chaos, Spears’ new Instagram posts are causing many of her fans to worry once again about whether or not she is okay.

Everyone is concerned for Britney Spears

The pop star has been under a conservatorship since 2008. It’s a court-ordered arrangement in which another person is given the legal right to make major decisions on someone else’s behalf—usually because they are deemed not capable of making their own choices. The arrangement has allowed Spears’ father, Jamie, to have control over her finances and personal life as her primary conservator. The artist has attempted to end the agreement on several occasions, but all petitions have been denied. She’s also battled with them throughout the years over visitation rights with her sons, Sean and Jayden.

The internet is focused on whether or not these photos were an attempt by Britney to gain freedom from her conservatorship through social media exposure. But the reality is we don’t know what she was thinking when she posted them and that’s OK. We may never know what drove her to share these intimate images publicly, but it probably won’t be the last time she does something unexpected online either…and that’s OK too!

4 Britneys nude images may be a form of self realization

Trying to understand the motivations behind a person’s actions has led many to assume that Britney Spears’ nude images are a mechanism for self-realization.

Unlike some, who have tried to understand Britney’s current life through the lens of mental illness, or those who have interpreted her semi-nude posts as a reaction to her fame and persistent paparazzi attention, those who see these Instagrams as signs of self realization believe that she is becoming more authentic with each passing post.

Self-realization is defined by many different groups as the process of finding oneself or one’s identity.

Though it seems like it could be simple, if you don’t know what you’re looking for then how will you know when you’ve found it?

There are different approaches to self realization from all over the world, but some believe that self-realization begins with understanding your true self. Once you do this then the door opens for new values and even multiple identities through which you can actualize your true potential.

5 The images may be a part of betterment

It’s easy to get swept up in the world of celebrity, but it’s important to remember that the people on the covers of tabloids are still human beings. Though we don’t know for sure what Britney Spears is dealing with inside her own mind and body, it’s possible that she is using these photos as a form of self-expression or self-realization.

Sometimes women (and men) feel pressure to conform to a certain image that may not really be true to themselves. In this case, perhaps Britney Spears has come to terms with herself enough that she feels comfortable posting nude images without feeling ashamed about her body or how others perceive her. Maybe by posting these images, she is trying to make peace with herself and accept who she really is; if that were true, then it would be a positive step towards betterment.
