Britney Spears has posted on Instagram about her late grandfather June Spears Sr – who had two of his wives institutionalized.
The 42-year-old pop star recently sparked fears for her own mental health after medics were seen escorting her, disheveled and partly dressed, out of the Chateau Marmont in the small hours of the morning.
Less than three years ago, she was freed from her controversial conservatorship, which began when her father Jamie Spears was placed in control of her life after her infamous mental breakdown in 2008.
This Saturday, Britney looked back on her memories with Jamie’s father, her grandfather June, who died in 2012 at the age of 82.
‘Older man never had one !!! My grandpa passed away when I was 28 !!! I have always worked for my family because it’s all I’ve ever known !!!’ she wrote.

‘The past two men I dated sent me list of things their children wanted and they wanted me to buy them !!! I wonder what it would have been like to feel like parents have their whole lives being taken care of !!!’ Britney added.
Her haunting message was accompanied by a throwback picture of herself in the pool with June and a child who appeared to be one of Britney’s sons.
Britney welcomed both of her children – Sean Preston, 18, and Jayden James, 17 – with her second of three ex-husbands, Kevin Federline.
Last year, Britney published her harrowing memoir The Woman In Me that included a disturbing remembrance of her late grandfather June.
June had his first two wives confined to an asylum, including Britney’s grandmother Jean, who ultimately committed suicide at the grave of a son she lost in infancy.
While she was in the psychiatric hospital, Jean was put on lithium, which Britney was also prescribed decades later during her own mental health woes.
Britney claimed June, a Baton Rouge cop, forced his son Jamie to ‘exercise long past the point of exhaustion’ – and that Jamie then replicated this pattern with Britney.
As a result, Britney was filled with foreboding when she was eventually placed under Jamie’s conservatorship after her own mental breakdown.

‘Thinking back on the way my father was raised by June and the way I was brought up by him, I had known from the jump that it would be an actual nightmare to have him in charge,’ Britney recalled in her memoir.
Even more hauntingly, she alleged: ‘One of my father’s half sisters has said that June sexually abused her starting when she was eleven, until she ran away at sixteen.’
Last week, Britney sparked concerns among her fans when she injured her ankle during a tumultuous visit to the LA hotel on May 2, while with her boyfriend Paul Soliz.
Sources told DailyMail.com that she hurt herself while doing cartwheels outside of her hotel room.
Insiders revealed to DailyMail.com that Britney had a massive panic attack and ‘flipped out’ at the Chateau Marmont over fears that her own mother called the paramedics on her, just minutes after she insisted she was mentally fine but had badly injured her ankle.

The post comes six days after Britney sparked concerns among her fans when she injured her ankle during a tumultuous visit to LA’s Chateau Marmont hotel with her boyfriend Paul Soliz
The singer sparked fears that she was spiralling into a mental breakdown when she was pictured wearing nothing but a blanket and underwear while clutching a pillow as she was escorted out of the celebrity hotspot by paramedics in the early hours.
She later shared pictures of her swollen foot on Instagram, insisting she was not in the midst of an episode, as she accused her own mother Lynne Spears, 60, of a ‘set up.’
‘I know my mom was involved !!! I haven’t talked to her in 6 months and she called right after it happened before the news being out !!!’ the Toxic hitmaker wrote.
Insiders claimed Lynne was behind the 911 call and had asked her daughter if she was ‘mentally fine’ just minutes before.
‘Britney was crying in pain and she called Lynne in Louisiana to tell her what had happened,’ a source told DailyMail.com exclusively. ‘At the time, Lynne was the only one who knew that she had hurt herself.
‘Lynne asked Britney if she was OK mentally and Britney told her mom that she was fine and it was just her ankle.
‘Lynne called 911 and told them that Britney was having a breakdown and had injured herself. She knew that Britney was in a traumatized state.’
The estranged duo had recently reconnected following the end of Britney’s conservatorship battle with her father Jamie Spears, 71, and the finalization of her divorce from ex-husband Sam Asghari, 30.
The 90s hitmaker shared the clips, entitled: ‘Cooking’, wearing bikini bottoms and a white crop top

The Toxic singer was said to have been traumatized by seeing a gurney. She later claimed paramedics arrived at her room ‘illegally’
Photographs taken the night of the incident showed the disheveled-looking pop star, barefoot and draped in a blanket – reminiscent of her famous 2008 breakdown that landed her in an involuntary 5150 hold and ultimately led to her 13-year conservatorship.
Explaining her attire, the insider insisted it had nothing to do with her mental state.
‘When the ambulance arrived at the Chateau, they went directly to Britney’s room and told her that they needed to make sure that she was OK after someone had called the paramedics,’ they said.
‘When Britney looked out, she saw the ambulance and the gurney and she flipped out. She had a severe panic attack because seeing a gurney for her is traumatizing, for obvious reasons.
‘Britney then grabbed a blanket and a pillow, leaving her belongings at the hotel. She did not have shoes on because her ankle was injured. She was not going to get in an ambulance and was not about to get checked out by them for an injured ankle.’
According to the source, the Toxic singer – who was at the hotel with her ‘felon boyfriend’ Paul – was determined to flee.
The source continued: ‘She said, ‘I am getting the f***k out of here.’ She walked past the ambulance and got into a ride that was waiting for her out front.
‘She did not return to the Chateau.’
Britney rubbished claims she had suffered a mental breakdown on Instagram – and posted a video of her swollen ankle.
‘Okay guys, so you know, I really twisted my ankle last night,’ she said. ‘It’s so bad. Idiot right here tried to do a leap in the living room at the Chateau and I fell and embarrassed myself and that’s it.’
It was later claimed she had been doing cartwheels while drinking alcohol.
‘Paramedics came to the door illegally and caused this huge scene and it was so unnecessary and all I needed was ice,’ she said.
The Oops I Did It Again singer started crying and added: ‘It is pretty mad but s***t happens.’
Ina video – which was a close up of her swollen foot – Britney said that ‘it’s a little bigger together,’ adding that it was ‘really swollen.’
‘My foot is so big right now,’ as she pointed out her other foot in comparison, adding she wears 6.5 in shoes.
‘My feet are so ugly,’ she said in the clip.
She deleted it but re-posted it hours later.
Britney wrote a lengthy caption along the re-posted video.

‘As Pink says, ‘Embracing the fall’ !!! Fallen angel, that’s SO FUNNY RIGHT ??? Well, I’ve been reading a lot of spiritual books lately…. and one was talking about how you can go back in time and also two parallel universes in a paradox where you can cross over and meet another person on a different dimension,’ she said.
Adding: ‘There are definitely levels of each dimension!!! I believe all this because I do believe there was one time in my life where my level of existence was pretty vast and sharp!!!
‘I know the highs and lows in life and I also believe people can trick you and make you believe the utterance of their existence in brainwashing someone 100 billion percent keeps you from the real level you are supposed to be at… setups… sarcasm in their speaking to belittle you as if you are not intelligent!!!!
Britney continued, adding: ‘I believe we all have tests in life and if there is. phenomenon… or something of interest… that we don’t know about makes me verify logie and understanding that there is something way bigger than us… and that brings me comfort and peace to know I’m not alone!! OK, some may think this is BS… lol Britney S… sorry had to!!! But that’s my name don’t wear it out!!!!
‘But honestly staying in is way cooler don’t y’all think ??? Psss what if there are three sons of God and not just one ???’
Her afternoon rants came after her father Jamie Spears, 71, filed paperwork for summary judgment in regards to financial objections, per People.
Jamie wants a summary judgement regarding his daughter’s objections – which are payment of storage space rent and investment valuation differences as well as Tri Star Sports & Entertainment accounting compensation – as well as payment for the attorneys, and compensation to Tri Star Sports & Entertainment, per the outlet.
The purpose of the paperwork is to avoid heading to trial, which is already scheduled for May 13, 2024.
Jamie is seeking the judge to overule Britney’s objections and removed the trial date.
She deleted her initial picture but re-posted it hours later. Britney wrote a lengthy caption along the re-posted video

Britney and Paul were celebrating her divorce from her third husband Sam getting finalized – where they had a night of heavy drinking.
She had injured her ankle during cartwheels down the hall after they were refused more alcohol at the hotel bar, DailyMail.com sources revealed.
‘When I saw her at the bar, at first I didn’t even realize it was her as she looked so disheveled,’ one insider said.
‘She was with a guy and their security team and the guy ordered drinks but was refused service because of the state they were in.’
The insider noted that they were ‘being really loud and causing a ruckus.’
Thirty minutes after they were refused more alcohol at the hotel bar, the source said complaints began rolling in about the noise Britney and Paul were making.
‘Britney and her friend were in the hallway outside their room being loud and arguing. Britney was also doing cartwheels up and down the hallway and then started screaming that she had hurt herself,’ the insider told DailyMail.com.
In scenes reminiscent of her 2008 meltdown, Britney, who has sparked increasing concern with her recent behavior and is claimed to be ‘completely dysfunctional’, was seen clad in her underwear, clutching a pillow and appearing distressed as she left the hotel.
She had abrasions on her knees, appeared to be topless and looked disheveled as she held the pillow to her chest, with her security surrounding her and felon ex Paul.
It was originally claimed that she had suffered the injury after an alleged altercation with Paul at the famed hotel in Los Angeles, but the singer insists that she fell while trying to ‘do a leap’ in her room.
Afterwards, Britney claimed she was ‘set up’ by her mother Lynne Spears as she continued to share her truth about what went down when paramedics escorted her out of the Chateau Marmont in the early hours of Thursday morning — sparking concern that the singer is suffering a ‘mental health crisis.’
The superstar narrated two Instagram videos that showed off her ‘twisted’ right ankle that looked painful and swollen.
Earlier she broke her silence after the alleged altercation with her boyfriend at the Chateau Marmont and declared that she is now moving to Boston.
The pop star took to Instagram to share a lengthy statement with some explosive claims including that the paramedics arrived at her room at the legendary Sunset Boulevard hotel ‘illegally.’
She wrote: ‘Just to let people know … the news is fake !!!
‘I would like respect at this time for people to understand I am getting stronger everyday !!! Truth sucks so can someone teach me how to lie [laughing while crying emoji]??? Goddesses out there, I’m reaching my higher power and furthermore, I hope you guys are too!!!
‘! need a new toothbrush right now [ two rolling eyes, two laughing while crying, one monkey covering eyes, and one champagne bottle emojis]
‘PS … I need an espresso [six pink rose emojis]!!! PSS …Not sure why I feel the need to share this …’
The star concluded the statement by trying to explain why she felt compelled to explain herself while declaring the new major US city she will be moving to.
Britney continued: ‘I guess I’m just a girl and I’m on my period so l’m b****y … s***!!! I also twisted my ankle last night and paramedics showed up at my door illegally.
‘They never came in my room but I felt completely harassed. I’m moving to Boston !!! Peace [peace hand sign emoji]’
Like her initial statement on the matter, she claimed that paramedics came to her hotel room ‘illegally’ and ’caused a huge scene, which was so unnecessary and all I needed was ice [for my ankle].’
In her caption, she then shifted blame to mom Lynne as she accused the 68-year-old of somehow being ‘involved’ in the ordeal.
This comes as a shock to fans as it was reported late last year that Lynne and Britney were working to ‘repair’ their relationship as they reunited in December for Britney’s 42nd birthday.
She continued: ‘I was set up just like she did way back when !!! I wish I had grandparents !!! I can’t stand her !!! I honestly don’t care I will say it.’
Britney closed out her post by admiring her longtime attorney, Mathew Rosengart, who she said is ‘like a father’ to her. She also included a photo of Rosengart.
‘Psss this man is wonderful !!! He’s like a father to me and he got me through last night !!! I adore you and admire you mister Mathew !!!’
The videos shared by Britney were meant to be seen as proof that she had in fact twisted her ankle.

Shortly after, Britney shockingly shared a video of herself dancing in a sparkly costume and heeled boots at her Thousand Oaks home. It’s unclear if the video is new or from Britney’s archives.
‘Ok I’ve been messing around and I thought this costume was beautiful !!! I used to do shows in Vegas with two layers of tights on my legs !!!’ wrote the star, who famous held a Las Vegas residency at Planet Hollywood from 2013 to 2017.
She continued: ‘They never let me show my real legs !!! It felt kinda weird and idiotic with a costume on my living room !!!’
Britney then made reference to the late Prince, who famously wore flamboyant outfits on and off the stage.
‘Well Prince used to dress up in costumes everyday of his life in his house !!! He used to pick specific dancers to entertain him when he was bored !!! Useless information,’ she concluded.
